In My Mailbox

I had a fantastic week in books! Not only did I get some awesome titles, but last year, I won an auction from Doing the Write Thing for Nashville from Kiersten White, and part of my prize was a character named after me. Originally, it was for book 3, but she ended up adding me into book 2. And okay, I have been waiting since then to find out what I am. So FINALLY. This week I did. AND. I am... Okay. I'm so not telling. You'll have to read and find out. But when you see a Kari in Supernaturally. Yep. It's named after me and it's a friggin' awesome feeling. So with that little story that still makes me do a happy dance told, I bring you, my mailbox!

    So if you happen to awake one morning and realize a few of your ARCs/Books are missing, have no fear. They'll be well taken care of in Austin. LOL!

    That is so AWESOME you're in Supernaturally! I can't wait to find out who your character is!!!
