I'm so jealous of Crescendo right now. I hope it's as wonderful as we are all wanting it to be. Have a great week.

You had a nice week in books! I bought a Sarah Addison Allen book this week too. Enjoy!

I really liked Garden Spells. Have a great week!

Sarah said...

I really want to read Water for Elephants, but I probably won't watch the movie. I am not a fan of Robert Pattinson so I probably wouldn't enjoy it! Have a great week!

Congratulations on the new job, the good thing about books they will wait for you to get to them. I can prove that by my large number of TBR book stacks. :)
