UniquelyMoi *~*Dhestiny*~* wrote: "Who's to say I'm not...."True... but I gave you the benefit of the doubt b/c I heard you were sick. Are you feeling better?
Thanks for asking, Lisa K! The thing is, my cold has progressed to my chest and I have that horrible coughy thing going on. Choking, gagging... can't sleep. I hate it!But it's progress, so I'll take it. That means it's almost over. Maybe only another week or two of coughing, but even that will slow down in the next few days.
Thanks again for asking!

Wow, that is an old cover of
, Laura!
It sure is, but it is indeed the cover I have at home. I think what happened is I found it at a used book sale and then found out it is part of a series so I had to get the others.
