Amanda I am going to be the biggest nerd ever by the end of the year. In fact, if i carry on this rate of reading, i think i'll be an expert on all things literary....as long as 'all things literary' is JUST lesbian fiction.


Jennifer Thompson Hazel,
Thanks for adding me as a friend! It's always interesting to me to learn what others are reading and what they think recommend. Looking forward to yours. If you get the chance, I'd love it if you visited my blog at http://jenniferthompsonbooks.blogspot.... Thanks, and have a great one.
