Currently reading Lone Star by Paullina Simons. It wasn't until I was about up to 20% before I started to get into it. It's grabbed me now though.

Yesterday I finished Night Walker and today I wrote a review. Tomorrow is Good Friday, proving the thrills never stop.I am currently finishing Neil Gaiman's short story anthology Smoke and Mirrors that I began many novels ago. It's very good so far, and I had only put it to the side to focus on various Goodreads challenges and whatnot.
