ALL ABOUT SECRETS

Submitted by Gwendolyn M on Mon, 10/29/2012 - 3:23pm

Secrets are one of the things that make life a little mysterious. Reading about secrets and whom they involve can cause things to become a little bit crazy. Inspirational Book Club at Northwest will be reading, The Secret of Us. I found this book to be very interesting, especially when it comes to marriage. I have given you a little hint. If you want to know more come and join our book club on November 5, 2012 at 2:00 PM. Even if you haven’t had a chance to read it, your attendance is welcomed.

3. What phobia means you have an intense fear of Halloween?
4. What was Dracula’s real name?
5. What was the name of Dracula’s side kick?
