I’ll be guest posting over at The Well-Read Redhead this Friday. It’s the first time someone has let me babble on their blog and I’m all in a tizzy over it!
Don’t forget that I’ll be participating in the Literary Blog Hop starting on Saturday the 22nd. Come do some hopping and win some books. Sweet!
The best news of all? THE SLUMP IS OVER! I’m back to reading like a demon and I couldn’t be happier!
Happy Father’s Day to all of the daddies out there!

Ha! I didn't think of it like that! I was in the middle of Under the Dome when the slump hit me. Probably because I was trying to read another book at the same time. I won't be trying that again anytime soon!
