Posted by megmme on January 1, 2010

I hope you all had a nice holiday break!  My reading time was diminished significantly while my husband was home for a few weeks but I’m back and ready to tackle my challenges for the year!

I’ve already started on a few: Cleopatra’s Daughter and The Year of the Bomb–both are excellent so far and full reviews are on their way.
