Glad you think so - I'm excited to read it.

And here's to November!

Crazy, right? It blows me away that she still travels. Good for her though!

Ah - that sucks, but totally understandable. Are you liking it though?

Have you seem her yet Jacq?

How are you enjoying it Lee?

I think your anger is completely rational.

I do hate when books do that - takes you out if the moment. I find it really difficult when a comma is out of place. That can change the entire meaning and inflection of a sentence.

I like to cook people. Vs. I like to cook, people.

*facepalm*

That is creepy that he emailed her. My bet is on Jamal or Romeo.

Agreed Jacq! I would also like to get his point of view. She seemed gracious to him in the end - I hope he wasn't a dick,

So it's still lovely for you then - lol

Haha - yeah - I'm feeling I need a break from challenges - lol - hence the easy one

I finished it last night. My brother was very concerned to find me sobbing last night. Ha.

Hope you guys love it as much as I did.
