ansate finished reading Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews (Innkeeper Chronicles, #1)
Omg, this is so silly and weird, and romance-y but not quite, and i am not even sure i like the main character (she is so YOUNG) . I think i will probably read book 2

ansate commented on Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde (Shades of Grey, #2)

Look, the romance part is cute and all, but i bawled about the first woman president being a democrat from Texas. Fully caught up in the reelection drama too.
