Woo-hoo Kittiya! You're on a fast, fast pace!! (If I could do math, I'd do the math and figure out how many books this would be in the year...but I can't do math...)Gail
I did the math - It's on pace for a little over 200 in the year!! Nice job!!

Gee Thanks Gail! ^-^ I'm just trying to get in as much "fun" reading as possible before I start nursing school. I'll be tied up with school for a little over a year so any free time will go towards decompressing and spending time with my daughter.
I hear you about decompression. :) And daughters are important. VERY. :) Are you just starting nursing school, or in the middle somewhere?
Gail wrote: "I hear you about decompression. :) And daughters are important. VERY. :) Are you just starting nursing school, or in the middle somewhere?"I will be moving in early June to start school. The area I now live in only provides 2 programs, which are almost impossible to get into and afford. I will be starting new. I want to be a R.N. working in labor & delivery. But I have to start out with just going for my C.N.A. or depending on the time frame my L.V.N. first. My daughter will be starting Kindergarten with the coming school year. So for the first time since I will have a little extra free time that I don't have to pay for. lol, So starting school seemed the logical thing to do.

I had never heard of Thurman before reading this book, and had planned to read more by him. I had really enjoyed his story also. Is there anything you would recommend for me to read from him first?
So far, she only has one series (Cal Leandros) but it's great. We were just talking about it in Sixkiller's thread.
NightlifeThat's the first one.

Oops, Sorry I shouldn't have assumed that Rob Thurman was a man. Not the first time I've done that with an author this week. Thanks for let me know about Nightlife.
