Musiquedevie
is on page 185 of 327 of Skipping a Beat: I try to put this book down to, you know, actually do something (haha) but it keeps reeling me in and in! Michael and Julia have become so vibrantly illustrated in my mind that I keep needing to read juuuusssst one more chapter (or two...or three) to see what's going on next and then I'll get things done. :D Such an engrossing tale that I can't wait to see how it unfolds into a finale!
