I saw it as a download without request from Edelweiss, and I was like "why not!". I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. It was funny and sweet and I always find it interesting to see how social commentary is inserted into books written by authors outside of the US.

It seems like endless packing, between moving the kid her after 4 years in Syracuse, then packing her up for NC, and now packing mine and her remaining things. Ick! Hail Mary is pretty funny so far. I really like the heroine, and I want to know more about her. There is a past that is intriguing me.

I don't know how people who work in southern Maryland and Northern Virginia do that. Love and Other Alien Experiences really surprised me. I didn't have high expectations for it, and I loved it so much. Hail Mary is pretty funny. I just started it yesterday, and I mostly listen while I am at work. It's what I expect from a schmexy sports romance, and I really like the heroine. Yes! Hot dogs for all tomorrow. =)Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-22041232612448491842017-07-03T05:07:02.745-04:002017-07-03T05:07:02.745-04:00Long drives = the worst Long drives = the worst Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-49302269321299755232017-07-03T05:06:47.586-04:002017-07-03T05:06:47.586-04:00I found Taylor through her debut, Into the Dim, wh...I found Taylor through her debut, Into the Dim, which I really enjoyed.
