CCBC




Its been a while since I let you know what I was up to regarding my reading... well I am still on the Stephanie Plum Series. I finished the 3rd one, Three to get Deadly, and the 4th one, Four to Score...

And I am currently on the 5th one, High Five.
They are keeping me very entertained. I am laughing out loud at some parts :) The main character, Stephanie Plum, reminds me so much of Bridget Jones... maybe thats why I love it so much!
What are the rest of you up to? Did you all finish the Twilight Series yet??

Those three magic words…


It means the world to you when you hear someone you love unconditionally say those three little words ‘I Love You’ for the first time… you remember where you were, what you were wearing, how you felt, etc… So you can imagine how THRILLED I was when Karys said those three little words to me for the FIRST time EVER in her LIFE!!! Yep! To me!! She loves me!!! And she said it!!! My hear melted!!! I love her SO much – and apparently she loves me too :)
