I am so looking forward to the arrival of my copies of Shadowfae en Deep Kiss Of Winter!! Okay, let's be honest here...I'm a junkie in front of my mailbox hoping to get me fix today with the arrival of these two books ;)
Going to nose through all the other tempting links you've put in this post Donna, as always, thank you!
A lot to read and watch as usual :)
I do appreciate these posts.
Thanks Donna
Would love to get my hands on Shadowfae!
I didn't realize Deep Kiss of Winter was HB...not sure if I will get it right away since I don't read G. Showalter.
Thanks for my contest mention :)
Wow, awesome post full of great links Donna! Thank you for all your time.
I won Hush, Hush, at Teddyree's blog maybe I'll forego the review given so many already have expressed their thoughts. I'm looking forward to the read though!
Have a good day!
Wow. So much going on! Thanks for the mention.
I would love to see a baby actually using that nook...
Great summary!
Thanks for the link love.
Donna,
Great post. :) I can't wait to get my hands on Shadowfae.
