Where did you get that idea? :)

I finally got book I've been waiting for over a year to come out, so I'm attacking that one (m/m). And then there is new Iron Druid book, new THRIDS is coming out on Fri, and new Red Rising next week...
I don't see me reading christian in near future :P


message 1610: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

❀Tea❀ (ttea) | 9625 comments Anita, still here?

There is possibility of sunflower in one of your books (Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs), but Amazon gives me hieroglyphs in search so I can't be sure. Can you check?

I'll keep checking rest of the books (only 88 of them to go through :P)


message 1611: by ❀Tea❀ (new)

message 1615: by Anita Reads (new)

Anita Reads | 1677 comments In Athena Effect, Caledonia - the MC, suddenly realizes she can make other people do as she wants by using her psychic gift. (before she only thought she could read emotions and see auras). Would that work for a character noticing an unexpected talent.

Yay! Glad that one wasn't too difficult to find. I might be quiet for the next couple of weeks - I'm off to Mexico on holiday. Should mean I get a lot of reading done, but might mean I'm not on here as often.
