I got the other 3 for Christmas so it's only a matter of time. I really enjoyed the first one but still haven't seen the movie.

I read the first one and can't wait to read the rest. But you know me and my vampire stories - I really sink my teeth into them!

Also have read all of the Charlaine Harris books long before the HBO series came out (True Blood). You might like those as well.

It's cheryl but I'm too lazy to sign in.

I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away.
