      Lacey also sent a hand-written note, but I didn’t want to be a completely dork and post a picture of it. LOL

    Hehe, some great books here. And don’t worry, I threw my ban out the window this week as well, so I’m glad to have some company! 😀

      I love Caine’s Morganville Vampire series and have been wanting to read her Weather Warden series. When I saw the bundle I couldn’t resist. 🙂
