oh hey we can use re-reads, too? You know, I didn't know that. It never occurred to me to ask LOL
Et moi, aussi :) Me too!
I recently bought 3x copies of Branded by Fire by Nalini Singh only it didn't feel like such a guilty pleasure because I was able to use the work credit card 'cause they were prizes for our romance newsletter. It left me feeling virtuous...

omg Neil Gaiman! I feel like such a fangirl but I heart him much. I just bought a ticket today to hear him speak next March and am really looking forward to it. Tweeted him to ask if he had 10 mins to spare to chat to a public library (and a stalker fangirl LOL) *sigh*.

Slow proress - crazy, busy time at work. Have switched the Elizabeth Lowell/Ann Maxwell for J. D. Robb/Nora Roberts. I like Lowell but I wasn't feeling it, saw Bed of Roses by Roberts and that sparked some interest instead. Am on a facilitation training course at the moment so I'm learning to 'live in the moment' and I thought it was a good chance to practice it hah:

Am making next to no headway and I feel slightly guilty about it. Considering taking a day or two of annual leave to just read (my geeky idea of nirvana):
N - Natural-Born Protector by Carla Cassidy
O - Obsidian Prey by Jayne Castle
V - Vampires Are Forever by Lynsay Sands
E - E-Male by Scott Pomfret
B - Bad Moon Rising by Sherrilyn Kenyon
E - Every Whispered Word by Karyn Monk
R - Red Wolf's Return by Mary J. Forbes
Shamefaced confession: I have not yet started my challenges I don't think. Been reading lots but none of them challenge related or, if so, then accidental on my part. Egads.
Read Seduce Me at Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas and didn't like it. No, that's not true, didn't like the main characters. Ordinarily I adore any book by Kleypas but this one. Eep. He was a bossy, dictatorial, jealous, irrational, stalker type love interest and she was a milksop. The supporting characters were good :) Am going to continue the series - am holding out for Leo's book. He has all the best lines.

1. 5. Interviewee: Nalini Singh
The Question: Is Sienna Hawke's heroine?
Great question! Tweet her and ask - and then tell me LOL you know, I had the opportunity to ask her a buncha questions about her craft and books/characters and, instead, I was truly selfish and asked if The Ghost would have his own book *sigh*
