Well, you are all more than kind to welcome me back. Thank you!
Today I fess up that I haven't started my RIP reading yet. I am waiting for the Wilkie Collins book to arrive. I want to be sure and finish that one, if nothing else, for the challenge.
And a recommendation for everyone: If you haven't read Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, please be sure to add it to your list. Even if you hated Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. A definite must-read...you will be on the edge of your seat.
