About The Book

Can't Wait Wednesday - November 11th

This meme is hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings.



Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here to spotlight and talk about the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released as well. It's based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. Find out more here.

This is the first book in a new series.  I did read the novella from it a few weeks ago.  It was a prequel and I really enjoyed it.  So, I'm looking forward to the first full length book in the series.

For My Cookie

As many of you know, my kitty Cookie has been sick for the past month or so.  Unfortunately, she took a turn for the worse and we lost her this morning.  We are heartbroken.  It was only 7 months  ago that we lost our Trudy.  It's a hard time right now.  I'll be taking a few days away from the blog.  I just need a break.  I do have tours and posts that have been pre-scheduled so you will see those for now.  I'll be back.

Cookie and Trudy together
