Chris in VA Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 You mean SOTW 3, right? Do you have the AG? Excellent rec's there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deana FL Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 yes, that's what I meant...I haven't bought the AG. We are listening to the audio CD's right now. I'm still deciding on whether I want to buy the AG...I probably need to, but in the mean time I was just looking for a book suggestion to get her started. Thanks...
