Remember how I think you have a sickness…. this might be all the proof I need to commit you to some sort of 12-step program!

Looking back at my own wedding day, I have no idea how you managed to find any time to read. Amazing!

I wish authors would send ARCs. As I live in India, it gets tough! I love your photo. Here is my SS post

Wisteria – Yes, that’s me, about a month ago! I LOVED Sweetsmoke, my review will be up later this week (probably Friday?)

Terri and Narineh – Well, they were pretty much all waiting on me, so I decided to take the chance that, once I got down there, there wouldn’t any bibliomergencies. Plus I just couldn’t figure out how to hold a book AND my bouquet AND Brian’s hand all at the same time.

Unfinished Person – Yes, yes I am

Debnance – Unfortunately I didn’t. I was really hoping I would, so I didn’t have to take it on the honeymoon with me. I even considered trying to finish it on the wedding night so I could send it home with the bag my parents were coming to pick up from the hotel (I hate taking books I’m almost done with on vacation), but that idea was vetoed.

Carrie K. – I thought Stealing Athena was good, not great. My review is here.

To everyone else, thanks for the fantastic comments. And, by the way, the Lake Geneva walk WAS beautiful, even if it got a little brutal towards the 20th mile!

What a beautiful dress, Jen! I love that picture so much.

I can’t wait to read your review of Sweetsmoke. I hope that you liked it as much as I did.

I feel like I’m drowning somewhat under the weight of my ARCs. I’ve really started to get picky about what I accept and that’s helpful. I’m also going to read at least one book a month from my bookshelves or at least something I’ve bought or been given as a gift. I’m hoping that will lighten the load.

I did the Lake Geneva hike in 8th grade as part of our junior high’s “Outdoor Education” program… I remember it being a) gorgeous, b) full of giant houses, and c) a very stupid idea to do in a pair of Keds.

Again, I’m so jealous that you have pictures of yourself reading on your wedding day! I wish I’d thought to do that. I’ve just started Matrimony , and at the 50-page mark am feeling like it will be good but not great. I’ll keep you posted and will look forward to your reaction as well.
