You should be happy!

ReplyDeleteA Halloween treat. Parcels like this one make the world go round.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte, I'm glad Cybele's Secret made it in. Happy reading!
OMG. The new Sharon Shinn. I am so jealous. And I still need to get around to reading Marillier.
ReplyDeleteGrin. I started with the Marillier and am really looking forward to the Shinn.
