It's been a crazy week in romancelandia. Santino Hassell (still), Sarah Lyons/Riptide Publishing, and Crimson Romance closing. On top of everything going on outside of romancelandia, this is a buy-your-booze-in-bulk kind of week. Let's hope next week is better!
On a much more mundane note, the weather in Utah has also been batshit crazy this week, going from 70F to low 30s, from sun to rain to snow. Ah, winter-spring in Utah.
Continuing the crazy-week train, I couldn't concentrate on anything, barely finished two books, and I just want access to my Overdrive back (ramble explaining that towards the end of the episode My accounts were finally merged, I have all my lists/holds on my new one!).
Happy St. Patrick's Day, and without further ado, let's move on to today's Whatcha Reading chat!
