I am excited as well, Sarah. The more the merrier. And, I love to get insight into someone else's opinions on books that I am thinking of purchasing. I don't read books with sex or violence. I like good, clean romance, adventure, and mystery. It will be exciting to see how we all do as the year progresses.

A friend named Sarah is something to celebrate as well. Thanks for the friend request.
