[Renee V]

Hi I started re-reading the Kate Daniels series earlier in the week... got 97 pages in this morning of Magic Bleeds.

My page count will be reasonably low this time as I'm leaving work at lunch time to drive to visit family about 6 hours away but it's just an overnight visit so may get some solid reading time on Sunday.
