remembering to tweet :-)

I finished A Three Dog Life (Wed pm/Thu am) and read a little more of Time Slice but spent most of the day in shops or fast food and wanted something I could put down. Started Virgin River ('v' in my A to Z challenge) and ended up not being able to put it down once I got home. So, with my second unplanned book ;-)

29th updat: I've been working on a baby blanket and reading online so my books aren't farther along then they could have been. HAVE to finish, and review, Time Slice this week. I won a book! woo hoo :D
