We have been giving away goodies all month long… six more folks just won off the website–and we’ll post the winners names in the next newsletter. Today we’ll do the last drawing in this last blog post update of the year. Secret Santa is on the move, LOL! I’ve been having a ball, and loving the response posts… Thank you all for that 
I have some pics, too–as promised–sent in from the Philly AA Book Club ladies (when we had a great seafood dinner and talked about “No Trust” in Darby, PA), and from the ladies at Karibu Bookstore in Bowie, MD, where we had a blast discussing The Vampire Huntress Legend series. See holiday pics below.

I got my goody in the mail yesterday and my neighbors thought I had caught the “spirit” at the mail box.. I was jumpin up and down and screamin LOL. They didn’t know what to make of me( I live in a cul de sac that is VERY quiet). I started reading a little last night but my child thinks that when she sees mommy reading, it is the perfect time to bring one of her books up *weep* *”weep*( I swear if I read Green Eggs and Ham one more time!). Anyway, Ima have to wait til this weekend so I can pawn her off on my husband and lock myself into the guest bedroom.
I thank you and my husband REEALLLY thanks you( hey a sista was runnin on a new book high) for the gift.

Now everyone else, may 2008 bring you not only what you need but the wisdom to know the difference between the NEEDS and the WANTS.
Peace and Love

Well put Camille! As I have been scouring my local Borders store for what books I still have to aquire, you have just put in perspective that I WANT these books, but I have to balance what I want verses what my family needs, and some days even $7.99 could be used for a more immediate need, like milk! (That stuff is about as expensive as gas!) I did however recieve a gift card for Borders as a gift, so I won’t feel to bad about spending that for my fix. LOL. There are several books that I have to order because they are no longer in stock. No worries, I’ll get to them eventually.
Thanks abunch for the wonderful X-mas Gift.
I am currently running out of room on my wall. The VHL has its own section, your anthologies have their own section, and now I have to get the Trust series books. I am going into BB or BAM like a mad woman on a mission. Oh, i heard in the wind their is a Vegas Bites Back coming out next year what is the date on that. God i only hope they all drop during spring break or Mardi Gras so i want be reading and driving. (i just do it at the red lights) lol. 2008 is going to be a very good year for us readers!
