My week: Good until I wrenched my back. I was on two days bedrest and supposed to not lift anything over 5 pounds for three more days. Hard with the baby, but I am getting a lot of reading done.

    In Honor was a great read, it was so emotional even though it was pretty short. I also got approved for Spirit this week, and I was so excited!! I can't wait to read more about the Merrick brothers, and this time around, Hunter. I'm sure it's going to be as fantastic as normal. <3

    You have a LOT of great books here! I'll have to check them out on Amazon, especially to see if any of the e-books are available in print editions, since I don't read digital books.
