Congratulations!!! Winners will be notified by email and y'all have till Sunday evening to send me your mailing address. If you do not hear from me by email, write to me at the address in my sidebar ---->

I asked entrants to tell me, for an extra entry, the title and author of a recent read that was unputdownable (although I didn't use that non-word . . . but you can imagine a gal who came up with the fake word "bookfoolery" has no problem with recently-invented words).

Still Life - Joy Fielding

Coming up soon . . .

There are not even enough days in the week for all I have to babble about. Hmm. For now, though, I'm off to clean house because my husband is going to Germany without me for the 5th time, soon. Ask me if he'll make it out the door alive. The answer is "yes," but only because he swears he's going to take me somewhere, next year. I suppose he has to live in order to do that.

Happy thoughts to all!

  2. Kathy,

    I've only read a few of them, of which Love Begins in Winter is my favorite. I'm a huge Simon Van Booy fan. You probably knew that. ;)

  7. I can't believe he's going to Germany again! And without you! He better take you some place fantastic new year. Guess I better get our Utah trip on the calendar pretty soon, huh?!

  8. Les,

    I know. And, he's going again in January, but who wants to go to Germany in January? German winters are bleak! So, I'm not even going to try to tag along on that one, but he wants me to go to Turkey with him, next year. I'm thinking "yes" to Turkey. Yeah, we need to get serious about Utah.
