Autumn wrote: "you go ROSE!!!!!!!!! and Lethal too!! ur killing it! ;)"Thanks, Autumn! I've had A LOT of time on my hands since coming back to the states. Alas, my 2-month vacation is over as tomorrow I'll be reentering the world of working folks once again:-( I tried to get as many books read in this challenge as possible before then. Lord knows when I'll have time to feed my book addiction. A chapter here and there just isn't enough for me anymore. I fear Korea has spoiled me for life. Gone are the days of 4 hours of classes and 4 hours of "Rose-time". :-(
(((((((Rose))))))))))))you can always pop in GR and have a blast with us, in the meantime! ;)
