Was just talking to a friend today about how my life would have been different if I had found some way to stay in New Zealand 18 years ago. I'm in.<br />On a side note- I've been so focused on channeling my inner Eminem for the holiday contest that I totally forgot to post a Perfect Picture Book for tomorrow.

That is a LOT of languages. <br /><br />This book doesn't sound like more normal "cup of tea," but her pitch has intrigued me. It may not be first on my TBR list, but I still think it sounds interesting. Something different than I've heard about and time travel is always fascinating. So...
