There IS mention of a 'blueberry kiss' in the novel, but still . . . I'm so glad Birdman mentioned Elenka's puzzlement, or I never would have known that it didn't say, simply, Walk Two Moons! Who knows what some of the others say! I'm curious now to translate the titles of the ones I don't already know.Sharon Creechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01297551991159941966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3328453083715960526.post-8410580501166145412011-11-24T10:50:43.724-05:002011-11-24T10:50:43.724-05:00Translation are interesting.
