Well, August was a bit of a crappy month – what with me being ill (and still not quite 100%), grey and miserable weather, and not many books read, it’s a month I’d rather forget. But I’m hoping September will be better…
I would like to say a big thank you to my reviewer, Laura, who really helped me out with all her reviews while I wasn’t well – thanks Laura!

Willa – I have read the Anita Blake books up to book 10, but that was a while ago, so I thought I would re-read them all and finish the series. Haven't started yet though, so better get cracking LOL
Dwayne – Yes, I can be very organised when I put my mind to it
Laura – I hope September's a better month too
Gautami – Thanks, but not as good as other months *sigh* never mind
Fredmans – Well, I hope this month is better – hope you had a good August
