Just got my copies of HAPPY HOUR OF THE DAMNED and ROAD TRIP OF THE LIVING DEAD today. :) I’ll be posting reviews later in the month, after I wrap up some other things I had lined up first.

Oh, I just got Happy Hour too. I am hoping CCrane’s arc comes in time. I also picked up Jaye Wells and Diana Rowland. Too bad Feb is a short month.

I am really excited about this challenge. I am a slow, detailed reader so I am hoping and working hard to get to 3 of these authors. I have the books here so I don’t have to wait for them to come and delay me longer. Great challenge!
