  12. WE had a nice day yesterday with no school or appointments and just stayed home. And of course, we used the Internet to do a bunch of things.

    I've a bunch of romances for February. But I've got Watcher in the Woods by Kelley Armstrong and Wild Country by Anne Bishop as other types of things coming up. Enjoy your reads! Anne - Books of My Heart
