  19. Have a great week and happy reading.

    The books you got do remind me of a question I was asking myself a while ago. Why does it seem that the trend in book covers right now is showing a woman from the back? I don't get it.

  20. I have Hollick's book too, but don't remember being offered Kearsley's book. Prob just as well.

    You have the Syrie James book! Can't wait to hear your thoughts. Dying to read it. Have a great week babe!
