    Just finished reading Wench. Fantastic read, especially the ending. I felt for Lizzie, but especially Mawu. Fran put me in mind of Property by Valerie Martin which I need to read again. If only Lizzie knew what the future held on that last day at the resort! I highly recommend this book. AND I bought it instead of checking it out from the library.

    Now on to Game Change to satisfy my gossip fix...
