Thanks, ladies! :) Sorry for the late reply, but the last three days at work were too busy.

Down to my last one, but this one is just not grabbing me! I guess she had to keep the same 'bad guy' thru the series, but I so wanted him gone at the end of the 2nd book!!

Congrats, Sandy! I've been meaning to get to Sugar Queen; how did you like it?

[SandyC]

Thank you!
Sugar Queen was a 3-star read for me. Definitely worth reading, but I thought Garden Spells and The Girl Who Chased the Moon were better.

[Lisa Kay]

GTK, Sandy. I have lined up for listening to from my library; guess I'll go for that b/f . I thought I won a copy of the audiobook , but I never heard back from the people who said I had. :(

was one of the best reads I've had this year.

[SandyC]

Yes, I loved GS. Read it in one sitting!
