Aw, you are marrying the RIGHT one!
I still don't understand why people like the Meyer books, but I'm happy that you'll be reading something you're so excited about during a time of life that should be even more delightful. Best wishes!
Aww... what a nice hubby. I've just recently put Twilight and New Moon on Mt. TBR, but have yet to read them. I was talked into reserving a copy of Breaking Dawn, but I don't want to get it until I know whether I like the series or not.
Aw, how sweet!
Congrats to you both on the Wedding! Hope you have a good time!
congrats on your upcoming wedding!
uh, you need a *reason* to buy books? *shakes head in confusion* :-)
Congratulations again! And thank goodness then you'll be ready for Violet In Private when you return home ;)
That is just so sweet, congrats on your upcoming wedding!
I do buy books while I am on vacation either from the major bookstores or local small stores which are fun to visit.
Congrats
My law school roommates baby christening is on August 2. Since I have to travel I don't know if I can make the midnight party Barnes and Noble will have that night. **Sighs**
Congrats on your upcoming wedding!
My sister is getting married that day too(in a town without a bookstore!) so I'll have to wait until the next day too to get home to my copy from Amazon.
