Melody - Darn! And I haven't even read No Regret yet! LOL

Gotcha! LOL.
And if I didn't recall wrongly, I think Darla love this book too! ;)

Julia said...

Yes she did love it too. But than, she big fan of Jim Butcher too - and Jim and Shannon are husband and wife LOL

It was Darla, by the way who finally got me to buy Shannon books. I got them both but haven't read them. Maybe if I hurry and read the first book, we can read the second book together? That is if you don't forget what happen with Kite Runner....*sigh* LOL

Sure, we can read the book together. Just remind me if you want to read it. ;P

Melody - great! I will let you know when I'm ready to start on "No Control" as soon as I finish with "No Regret".

Darla - LOL I will try my best to be done with "No Control" ...have Cherry forum discuss this yet?

Alice - You know, I fear you weren't be able to keep your promise on the book-buying ban campaign LOL! So you might as well give it up...you can't stop buying..it not in our nature to LOL...but I will help you to hold on your promise if you need me :)

Oh, man. I haven't got a single one of those. Haven't even heard of a lot of them.

Alice said...

Julia the temptress. LOL. I have almost stepped into the bookstores many times -- online and offline ones. I almost did it. Buying books, that is. So far, I'm doing fine... It's very very itchy though... Arrrgh...

Julia said...
