Well, it’s that time again. Back to school registration… YAY! LOL Soon my son will be going back to high school. They don’t start this year until September 2, but that’s okay. I took that day off to just do nothing! GRIN!
I started my back to school shopping for him as well. I shop at Walmart. Have you noticed how freaking early they have holiday decorations out? My goodness there’s stuff for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even some items for Christmas! What the heck is up with that? Do they think that if I’m there buying school supplies I’ll see the holiday decorations and wander down that aisle and pick up a few items? What is the point of having Christmas items out in August? Anyone out there in sales, please explain it to me because it seems silly.
Anywho- let’s talk books. Anyone read Acheron yet? What about Breaking Dawn? How are they? Good? Bad? Make you happy? Disppointed? Opinions please! I’ve got Acheron but haven’t had a chance to read it yet. I’ve also got Ann Aguirre’s Wanderlust here waiting for me to read and I can’t wait to dig into that one. What other books are you looking forward to that are coming up? Give me a list so I can add ‘em to mine.
Thanks for your thoughts, opinions, and recs, and until next time…

Hi Marissa,
How are you doin’? Honestly, I haven’t done to much reading lately but plan on doing more this week because I’m taking some recoup time off while my critique partner reads over a manuscript.
Happy reading!!!

Hi Marissa,
I haven’t gotten caught up in the hype of those two series, and that may be a good thing because I’m hearing a lot of mixed response. I’ve just been reading a lot of old books recently

Hi Marissa!
I’m currently reading “Seduced by the Storm” by Sydney Croft and so far it’s awesome. I also have “Acheron” to read next, and then I’ll be waiting anxiously for Lora Leigh’s “Mercury’s War”, Jaci Burton’s “The Darkest Touch” and Shannon McKenna’s “Ultimate Weapon”..oh and Anya’s “The Chosen Sin”, October is going to be great!
