So many WONDERFUL books have been challenged.

I will also pay someone to challenge my book if that's what it means. Thanks again for the contest and for letting me win! :)Susan R.

Clearly, in some cases these folks read a different version than I did, or they didn't read at all, just mouthed off without knowledge.
