I ran out of True Blood episodes to watch, so I'm back to reading.

I got hooked on watching TV on DVD on Netflix for a while, lol. I don't think they have True Blood online yet but I have the DVD's in my queue.

Heaven Sent is my fave Jet Mykles series. I've re-read Heaven a couple times. I love Johnnie and Tyler as a couple =D.

My b-days went great! I was sick for about a week prior but the day of my b-day I felt well enough to eat, and really,that's all that matters right? hehe. I also came back into town and my friend threw me a Taco Tues party at her house with margaritas and daiquiri's. It was fun!

ReadingLast Wolf Hunting tonight and trying to finish to so I can send it off as a swap. Rhyannon Byrd writes PNR romance very well. I am surprised at how much I have enjoyed reading this series. It is called the Bloodrunners series and its a shifters themed PNR by Nocturne.
