Review – Government Girl

This book too me forever to finish.  Maybe it was that it was an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) and I owned it, I’m not sure.  Usually the deadline of a library helps me get a book moving along if it’s feeling a bit like work.  Either way, there were a thousand other things that interested [...]

Review – Nanny Returns

Teaser Tuesday — September 15, 2009

Before I get to today’s teaser, I have to send a shout-out to my husband Joe who is having a big birthday today.  He’s super nervous about it, but I love birthdays and I’ve been telling everyone, which doesn’t make him too happy.  Well, now the internet knows!  (Oops?)  Happy Birthday Joe! _____ Miz B [...]
