Wow, school starts early. We're still about 2 1/2 weeks until school starts. Boo! Going to miss my little baby.

[Lisa S]

Hey everybody! Sorry I couldn't read with you, but work got in the way. LOL I'll come check on you guys in a little while. Keep on keeping on.

DD I own that book. How was it?

[Debbie]

Dee you book slut, you finished DK, I don't know about you, but I love the Lords :)

- with all the first day of school stuff (I know it seems kind of early to me too) I haven't had quite as much time as I wanted to so far. But I am about half way through Covet - didn't realize it was like 500 pages. Goal is to at least finish this one.

- break is over, will check back later :)

I loved it...i read Darkest Night a few months back and while I enjoyed it, I wasn't in a rush to read the next one...not sure why...but I loved this one! Lucian and Anya were a great couple...I loved the tension between them!
