If you've run out of good things to do for me, as I'm sure you have, you'll just have to decide on something to do for somebody else!

Oh, sure?

Actually, since someone else down below wants one as well I'll just take the first of the three, and you two can have the others. ^^

You can get one of the two left. You should decide with soufpawed and figure out which ones you get.

I am thinking. I want it to be good and something I haven't done before. It's hard. I will think it through and then get back to you. soufpawed should decide what book she wants since she/he technically replied before me, by one minute! :)

Great idea though. I like this a lot.
