Did you hear the one about me losing my nerve?
Or how I'm just another f**** sheep in the herd?
Did you hear the one about me giving a s***?
Cause if I ever did I don't remember it.

Well....I'm *supposed* to be reading this:
My friend who is a new anchor in Sacramento wants to start a FB reading group, with this as our first selection. We'll see how it goes.
But I got distracted by this when I went to Costco today:
Love this series, and it will be a fast read for me, should be done by tomorrow. Then back to The Help.

I also have a friend that bought the Nook and immediately took it back after comparing it to the Kindle. On the fence on the iPad but between the iPhone, iPod and Kindle, I can't really justify the expense of the iPad.
I just started this which is the second in a series by J. R. Ward. The first one was Covet and it was GREAT!
Still trying to get used to my digital reader...I think I might get more into it for travel purposes...at home in bed I kind of prefer an actual book.

Oh man, I should have asked you sooner, ETP. We seem to have the same opinion on so many books. It sure sounds like something I'd like...but I must say it didn't grab me like I thought it would. I can't quite put my finger on it...thought maybe it was the "dialect" it's written in, but that's never bothered me before. Maybe just the flow? I'll give it another shot, I was also right in the middle of that nasty cold so I'm sure that didn't help. Hard to concentrate when you're that miserable.
