First Grave On the Right is AWESOME. Charley is hilarious and Reyes is hot :drool: The release for Second Grave On the Left can't get here fast enough.

*glares at twin & Syd* OK OK OK...It's ordered. Hopefully will be here next week. It was 40% off at Borders (better than what I'd get at B&N) and I had 25% code to use on full list priced item...so...I gave into the peer pressure.

It's really an amazing read and apparently Darynda is really sweet...and what a fantastic publishing story too!

For all frosties who are here because of Jeaniene's work, Darynda's prose, witty dialogue and smoking hot hunk will be right up your alley. I guarantee it.

I want the shoes, but I think (if you could even FIND them anywhere) I'd have to sell an organ on the black market to afford them. Oh well. Shipment should be here early to mid next week. It shipped out today *G*.

Syd - I love you.

Frosties, I can not say enough about this book. I got it because I had seen tweets and if any of you know who Pickyme is (she is a phenomenal graphic artist), she raved about it and I caved. I bought it one Saturday afternoon and by that night, I was tweeting it's praises like a mad woman. Go get it. I promise that you will not be disappointed. But please, if you have not read it yet, don't read any of the postings on websites because I have seen multiple spoilers. And if somebody tells you what happens in the last 25-30 pages, it will spoil the entire book for you. I never care about spoilers but in this case, knowing the big reveal at the end will be a total buzzkill.

And HELL yeah, Reyes is hot. :drool:

Oh and the shoes are impossible to find. Im-fricking-possible. And if you do find them, it costs something like an arm, a leg and a lung to buy them.

About halfway through now. OMG I LOVE Charley, her snarkiness rocks. And then add in Cookie...ROFL. Just got to part where
Spoiler: show
Charley went to the prison to see Reyes and found he was in a coma. Hmmm...explains why he's showing up in her...astral plain or whatever is going on. Surely I'll find that much out soon.

:D Lips are zipped. Keep going twin. And if ANYONE tries to give spoilers before you finish, stick your fingers in your ears and run away screaming LA LA LA LA LA!
