Smexy’s Top Ten–April 29th
10. My week – I have no idea what I did this week. I’m so boring it isn’t even funny. I meet my friends for lunch and they ask – what’s new?

I’ve wanted to read a Samantha Kane book for quite some time now. I have her first Brothers In Arms book on my Kindle, but haven’t gotten to it Continue Reading

Recent DNF’s
A few recent books I couldn’t finish: Wickedly Charming by Kristine Grayson May 1, 2011 Wickedly Uncharming more like it. I read 170 pages of this book and was not charmed at all.

She is upset that the “evil” step-mothers and other creatures in fairytale lore get a bad rap. It is at a book fair where she is staging a protest she meets Prince Charming – Continue Reading
