Wow! This won the Mystery Writers of America/Minotaur Books First Crime Novel (2010) and my library doesn't have

Thanks Ladies. Had the kids home sick and resting, and my vacuum is temporarily broken (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!) which gave me an unexpected amount of reading time :-)

I had to change one of my "hots" b/c someone checked the book out of the library b/f I could get to it. **sigh** Don't people know, it's
my
library?
I'm curious as to how you will like Nightfall, Lisa Kay. I want to read it, but something keeps holding me back.
I have it set up for a "buddy read" this month, Heather. If you are interested, you are welcome to join us.

I have 2 buddy reads coming up, so it just depends on when, but if I can work it out, I would be happy to do it! Thanks for letting me know.
I can't find my book,
. Aagggghhhh! It is so hot here; too hot to look for it! I've been looking for two days!
Nope. Not yet, Michelle. **sigh** It was sitting on the ledge, and then I moved it to the black hole (which is my bedroom). At least I
think
that is where I took it. I was going to start reading it last week, but I got side-tracked by another book. Yes, yes, I know you find that
extremely
hard to believe, but I got side-tracked. **sarcasm here**
LOL, yes, it's very easy to get side-tracked by other books!
If they would just quit calling my name! :)
Hey, maybe I put it in the bag with

Bummer...I'm sorry! That's not cool! :o(
You didn't like Nocturne Michelle? Darn it! I was thinking about picking that one up!

Hmm, Lisa Kay. I've been thinking about reading an Elizabeth Hoyt, but hadn't yet gotten round to it. Have you found your copy yet?
NO! I went looking again last night. Now it has become all about finding the book and not reading the d@mned thing, LOL! What to do a "buddy read" of it if I find it?P.S. Love your new avatar; it that YOU? Cute. :) and you changed your name? Just questions to make sure I'm not talking to a stranger.
Plus, the book I took off my challenge, b/c it wasn't available at the library, just showed up when I already started another audiobook. What's a

Yep, I'd be keen to do a buddy read with an Elizabeth Hoyt, but that one isn't available in Australia yet. (Grrr to international restrictions on ebooks!). I hope you find it soon, but I might end up having to buy the paperback version from Amazon or Book Depository, so not sure how long they might take to get here and you'll want to finish that one by end of August. Maybe the next one?
And yes, that's me in the pic in all my everyday glory. Dirty hair, no make-up and I wrinkle my nose when I laugh :-) As for the name change, it should still be CaroB, except with a little b at the end instead of a capital. Is that what you're seeing? Still the same ol' me on this end though, silly sense of humour and all :-p

I think Pamela(All Honey) is setting up a "buddy read" in the Happily Ever After Café group for mid September for Notorious Pleasures, by Elizabeth Hoyt. Can you get that one by then? Or maybe you should read Wicked Intentions first. Drat!

I can get both of those a ebooks, so instant access :-) Yaay! Thanks Lisa Kay, I'll go check out the HEA group!
