Bookrings, Bookrays, and Bookboxes » International book ray - the five people you meet in heaven, Mitch Albom
jazz-ee2 18 yrs ago
I have wanted to read this book for ages, so when I found a copy I thought I'd read it and pass it on as a ray. It is a very quick read, so shouldn't add too much to Mount TBR! http://www.bookcrossing.com/journal/373…
