Stray is one of my biggest bookish disappointments. I hated it so much, but people kept telling me it was good. So I forced myself to read a second book, and hated it even more. -_-'
Haha, ok ok. We'll do that ;)

Oh yeah. haha
Well, I still haven't finished my reread of the series. Thank you for reminding me of that :p
I'm good, thank you for asking. I had a couple of stressful weeks at work, but all over now. Thank goodness !
I can finally relax and read a bit.
For Bayou Moon, I ended up reading it during last reading challenge. But I guess I read it so sporadically, only a page here and there due to a massive reading slump, that I forgot to post about it. I'm sorry. It took me more than a month to finish it...
But I'd love to read your comments and reactions, and then maybe we can go on with the 3rd book together?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure if I could make teddy bears move, I would give them names and drink tea with them as well :p I would name them after my favourite character rather than my favourite actors. I would have a Jamie Fraser and a Mr Darcy for sure.
I made some progress during my commute to work today, and I have to say I am loving this reread. I'm now in the middle of chapter 12, (view spoiler)

The beginning ot On the Edge is so wild. I remeber it really taking me aback first time I read it, with the whole granpa thing. It really got me intrigued.
