Great! Now I know for when your book is published. <br /><br />Thanks,also, to Linda, Donna and Kim for the comments. Donna, I never knew how to pronounce Brashares either. Apparently it's Bre-SHARES. And her recording has to be the shortest one on record. <br /><br />It's really a fun site. Anyone who hasn't checked it out, go try it.Joanne R.

I guess I should start saying, "It rhymes with Tom." :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861022355718378425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-18283186132825975002010-01-29T12:48:50.478-05:002010-01-29T12:48:50.478-05:00Very clever post!

This always confuses me! Another one I didn't know -- when Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants first came out and was relatively unknown, I couldn't find it in a bookstore. I asked an employee about it and didn't know if her last name was pronounces BRA-shares or BRASH-ers. Though I was still an awkward teenager, so I probably just didn't want to say "bra."Donna Gambalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317767593205769881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-14021069945844255862010-01-29T07:31:58.168-05:002010-01-29T07:31:58.168-05:00I was three for three- all three pronunciations wr...I was three for three- all three pronunciations wrong!
