Fearless & Falling by Season Vining – a Review

Angela Lavelle has been in love since third grade. A heated argument over superheroes left her reeling in the wake of Logan Sawyer and his charming, know-it-all smile. After a lifetime in the same small town, this art geek still feels invisible to the guy she knows is destined for her. Finally, Angela is ready to give destiny a shove.

Logan Sawyer is adored by the whole town, even taking a place next to his father as a sheriff’s deputy, with aspirations of becoming a detective. When a certain redheaded waitress finally catches his attention, he wonders how he’s been so blind to Angela hiding in plain sight. But there’s the mysterious circumstances of her father’s death tugging at Logan’s detective instincts. Could Angela be the one to break the case wide open? Or will their secrets destroy any chance at a happily-ever-after?

 

 

 Review;

This is second book by Season Vining that I’ve had the opportunity to read.  I don’t know, maybe it’s just me but there’s something about her writing that causes me to take forever to get through the story.  Maybe it’s the way she sets up the chapters according to the each character’s POV, the backtracking to past events, etc, I’m just not sure.  Don’t get me wrong, the characters were well developed and did manage to carry the story.  I have to say I much preferred Angela and Logan’s story over Wren and Preston’s story.  Fearless and Falling was easier for me to get into thanks in part to Angela and Logan, along with Angela’s best friend Audrey. Now there’s a secondary character you want to learn more about and get to know more, because she was an absolute hoot!!  She cracked me up in every scene she was in.  She helped to move Angela and Logan’s romance along and she did it in a very fun way. 

Fearless & Falling does have more of that small town feel to it this time around and we get to see more of its residents.  Angela and Logan’s romance is slow to build and at times I did find myself wanting to skip ahead hoping the pace of the story would move itself along.  It wasn’t until the last 30% of the book that I finally found the pace picked up and events started unfolding at a much quicker pace for me.   Don’t get me wrong, I do enjoy a slow build romance between the main couple, but I don’t like it when it feels dragged out.  Yes there was the issue with Angela’s fathers suspicious death years ago that gets between Angela and Logan at one point causing drama and angst with their romance.  Funny enough though, it actually helped move the story along creating more depth and intrigue to the overall feel of their story.  However, for me I would’ve liked to have started to discover the clues and facts sooner, rather then later.  For me that part felt a bit rushed.

Overall Fearless & Falling is a well thought out story, with a strong main couple who were able to carry their adventure.  Angela and Logan are a sweet couple and it was fun to watch them finally really see each other.  Actually Angela noticed Logan a lot sooner, it was Logan that didn’t really see Angela and he kept asking her throughout the story ‘where have you been hiding all this time?’   I liked that she kept telling him ‘in plain sight, you just never noticed me’.  Finally though Logan did notice Angela, even if it was with a little help from the ever resourceful Audrey and her not so subtle comments and hints to Logan. 

Until next time, happy reading everyone.

Romancing His Rival by Jennifer Shirk – a Review

Romancing His Rival by Jennifer Shirk – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iTunes / Google Play / BAM / Book Depository

 

Description:
Hopeless romantic Elena Mason doesn’t often hate people, but she hates her ex-fiancé’s insufferable best man, Lucas Albright III. She just knows Lucas is the one who talked her ex out of getting married—so Lucas is clearly the cause of all her problems. 

And now she’s expected to work with him? Oh, heck no.

Lucas Albright wants nothing more than to make partner at his advertising firm, and he knows he works best alone. But then Elena ends up as his partner on an account that could win him a promotion. He had a great reason to end her engagement, not that she’d ever believe him. Still, he’s willing to try working as a team. 

Unfortunately, his new “partner” wants him dead.

Elena knows she’s going to have to give in and work with her nemesis, though nobody said it had to be easy for him. But what happens when fighting starts feeling a whole lot like falling in love? 

 

 

Review;

I’m finding that I’m becoming quite the Jennifer Shirk fan.  Once again she didn’t disappoint me with Romancing his Rival.  This story was full of humour, sexy flirting and just general fun between Lucas and Elena.  I really enjoyed getting to know these two characters and watch them slowly fall in love with each other.  I do have to say that at first I wasn’t sure about Lucas given the little I knew about him from Elena’s point of view.  However, I quickly learned that he wasn’t all that bad and not the bad guy that Elena was painting him out to be.  Actually he was trying to save Elena from impending heartbreak without coming right out and letting her know her fiancé is basically a cad.  Being best friend’s with Elena’s ex fiancé kind of put Lucas between a rock and a hard place because he didn’t want to hurt either of them, but at the same time felt he should do something to warn her.  I’m glad he did in the end because I felt that Lucas and Elena were much more suited to each other.  They got one another on a level no one else did and their chemistry just clicked from the get go.  They had a certain vibe that just jumped off the pages and kept you  coming back for more wanting to see how their adventure would end.

 Again Ms. Shirk kept the story moving at a fairly good pace but never once did that affect Elena and Lucas’ adventure.  They were able to tell their individual stories so that we are able to see where both are coming from when it comes to relationships and HEA’s.  Throughout the story we also get to see why it’s important for Elena to have the HEA she’s always dreamed about, albeit to me was a little far fetched but I was able to see why she needed things to happen according to her plan.  I could also see why having Lucas come into her life at this exact moment and stir things up for her would cause her some anxiety and confusion, but it’s also the starting point for the fun and games that ensue between Elena and Lucas as they try and meander through a working relationship all the while trying to deny the growing friendship and feelings they are developing towards each other.  I found it rather funny that everyone else around them could see this but they couldn’t.  Of course the two of them have to take the scenic route so to speak in finding their way to each other but that’s also part of the fun and adventure between this cute couple.  The epilogue was sweet and charming and shows just how much Elena changes from when we first meet her to where she and Lucas are now in their relationship.  I really liked his proposal, but I liked it even more that Elena decided to create something special just for them when she finally said yes. 

If you haven’t had the chance to read anything by Jennifer Shirk my question is what are you waiting for?  She’s got a way of drawing you into her stories and keeping you there till the very end and does that once again with Romancing his Rival.  It’s a fast paced read but filled with fun, flirty dialogue, and two characters who run away with their story keeping you engaged till the last line. 

Until next time, happy reading everyone!

One Night Gamble by Katherine Garbera – a Review

One Night Gamble by Katherine Garbera – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iTunes / BAM

 

Description:
Talia Spencer’s life is the epitome of boring and predictable. But then she meets him…

The first time she meets Casey Waltham, she’s buying condoms…for her grandmother. And of course drops them accidentally at his feet. Face plant.

The second time she sees him, she’s this close to landing her dream job and is celebrating at a club. Two chance encounters in the same day–that’s got to be a sign, right?

He’s charming and flirty and just what Talia needs for the night.

But it was just supposed to be a hook-up. At least, that’s what she thought…until he turns out to be her new boss… 

 

Review;

One Night Gamble by Katherina Garbera is a new read/author for me.  I love all things Vegas and thought what the heck I’ll give this one a go.  I’m glad I did because it didn’t disappoint.  It’s a fun and fast read and I really liked the chemistry between Talia and Casey.  They were a fun, flirty and charming couple and they made if very easy to like both of them. 

Talia and Casey both come from troubled backgrounds and have an automatic pull towards each other from their first chance meeting.  They seem to understand each other and bring out the best in one another.  I also enjoyed the cast of secondary characters who helped to fill in the backstories of both Talia and Casey.  Talia’s grandmother and her friends who live in a retirement community are a hoot and watching Casey interact with them is even more entertaining.  I loved all these scenes as they gave me more insight and understanding to where Talia is coming from in terms of her inability to fully trust and get past the fact that Casey is a professional gambler.  

Casey’s friends who are more like brothers as they grew up together in a group home fill in the blanks and bring Casey’s rise to fame in the gambling world to light for us.  Casey’s friends allow us to see why it’s so important for Casey to get Talia to see things from his perspective and why she is so important to him.  I really liked his two friends, even if one of them was the reason for the drama and temporary split between Talia and Casey.  I enjoyed watching his friend come to the conclusion he was being a totally donkey and eventually apologized to Talia and helped Casey win her back.  I was glad to see he has some redeeming qualities in him and now I want to read his story to see why he’s got that impression where love is concerned.  Ms. Garbera does a good job of introducing his two friends and giving us just enough information on them that leaves us salivating for more where these to hunks are concerned. 

I kinda felt like One Night Gamble is Ms. Garbera’s starting block for a rather entertaining and sexy series for her Joker’s Wild books.  Yes she focuses on Talia and  Casey’s story in One Night Gamble and keeps us entertained by this couple, but at the same time she’s carefully and meticulously setting the stage for more to come in this series with her secondary characters. If you enjoy anything Vegas along with some sexy chemistry all mixed in with a little fun and drama then One Night Gamble by Katherine Garbera is a perfect fit for you. 

Until next time, happy reading my bookworms!!

A Christmas Miracle for the Doctor by Victoria James – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iTunes / BAM

Description:
Children’s bookstore owner Addie Mayberry believes in the magic of Christmas. Or at least, she used to. So when a young customer needs some seasonal optimism, Addie sets out to give the vulnerable, heartbroken little girl the best Christmas ever. Which means helping the hottest man in Shadow Creek, Bella’s surgeon father, find his holiday spirit. Addie’s up to the challenge, but between tree decorating and late night talks, she realizes she’s starting to fall hard for the one man she definitely shouldn’t. 

Drew Barrett drastically changed his fast-paced life when he moved back to Shadow Creek, but it was all worth it to give his daughter a better life. He wasn’t exactly winning dad-of-the-year awards before, so he’s determined to make it up to Bella. And with Addie’s help, he’s slowly repairing his relationship with his daughter. The last thing he wants is to fall in love, since that road only leads to pain, but he can’t stop thinking about Addie. Not only is she gorgeous, sweet, and great with Bella, she fills something in him he never knew was missing. But Addie wants forever, which is more than Drew can offer

 

Review;

A Christmas Miracle for the Doctor by Victoria James is your go to quiet Sunday holiday read.  It has everything a holiday story should have in my opinion.  Ms. James brings in nostalgia, the magic of the holidays, the importance of family, small town life and romance all wrapped up in a neat little Christmas package. 

This is a quick read, but has you falling in love fast with the main characters of Bella, Addie and Drew.  Bella steals your heart from the get go, and propels Addie and Drew’s story from the first scene.  Watching these characters grow and become a little family from beginning to end is heart-warming and sweet.  I loved the scenes with Bella and her father as they learned how to function as father and daughter, then later with Addie as their friend and soon to be more was just as cute.

Everything about these three characters just made my heart melt so many times throughout this book.  From Addie overcoming her fear from her figure skating days to skate in the Christmas Festival with Bella, to Drew taking Bella to work with him and Bella acting all doctor like with one of his patients had me chuckling and loving how she was teaching her dad just what it meant to be a father finally.   The way Ms. James wrote each of these scenes was with such care and creativity that it flowed from one page to the next effortlessly and allowed us to fully understand each character, where they were coming from, and why they had this reluctance to fully open their hearts to other people.  Once Bella finally convinces her father to go after Addie and not worry about her because she knows she has his love forever had me cheering that little girl on and thinking how insightful she is for a child of her age.  I loved how she told her father just what he needed to do to win Addie over. 

It was the perfect ending to a sweet and charming holiday read.  Ms. James definitely hits all the right buttons for this holiday story.  For anyone whose looking for a fast, yet charming holiday read then A Christmas Miracle for the Doctor is a must for you. 

Until next time, happy holidays and happy reading everyone!!

Mistletoe Kisses by Marnie Blue – a Review

Mistletoe Kisses by Marnie Blue – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM

 

Description:
For Officer Justin Weaver, Christmas is the most hideous time of the year. To improve his “holiday cheer,” he’s been put on Officer Kringle duty, collecting toys for the Ho-Ho-Patrol.

It’s a week in holiday hell.

Worse, it comes with an elf—his little sister’s gorgeous best friend—but Lilly Maddox isn’t so little anymore. And as an annoyingly festive reporter looking to make her mark, she’s there to document his every move. 

Justin’s always had a thing for Lilly, but he refuses to go there with her. Ever. Not after watching what his mom went through as a cop’s wife. But now that they’re trapped in his squad car, avoiding her just got a lot more complicated… 

 

 

Review;

Mistletoe Kisses by Marnie Blue is a cute holiday romance.  It’s a fast paced read, at times a bit too fast for my liking as I felt there wasn’t enough romance, and more time spent on the angst and drama of Justin and Lilly being back in each other’s lives.  Although I guess the drama and angst just winds up teasing us throughout the whole story as to whether or not they will wind up together and get their HEA.  So I guess it fits with the whole theme of the story.  The drama of Lilly and Justin having to deal with each other on a daily basis thanks to his Officer Kringle assignment also provides a number of humorous moments that lightens the mood and distracts us from all their drama.  I particularly liked the razzing poor Justin received from his fellow cop co-workers, especially from his partner over this Santa gig.  It had me laughing out loud and wishing it were the holiday season. 

Lilly and Justin do manage to overcome their differences and fix what happened in the past between them all over the course of a couple of days.  Of course toss in the holiday season and poof, holiday magic always seems to happen.  I loved the Christmas tree shopping scene followed up by decorating the tree, and Justin living in his gramma’s house with the all pink kitchen.  The picture of a hot cop living in a house decorated almost completely in pink had me howling with laughter.  All I could think of was the tv series with June Cleaver in it.  I swear the re-runs of that tv show are still airing and would fit perfectly in Justin’s pink kitchen.  LoL!!  

As I said previously Mistletoe Kisses is a rather fast read, but also enjoyable.  I mean let’s face it who doesn’t like a cute holiday romance that happens over the holidays.  There’s just something magical about the Christmas season, then toss in a couple of would be lovers and poof, holiday magic ensues.  If you’re a fan of Christmas and holiday romances then Mistletoe Kisses by Marnie Blue is must read for you.   

Until next time, happy reading!!

Stygian by Sherrilyn Kenyon – a Review

Stygian by Sherrilyn Kenyon – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / iTunes / Google Play / Book Depository

 

Description:
–MAJOR SPOILER WARNING-
While the books don’t have to be read in order, if you haven’t read Dragonsworn, this synopsis will contain massive spoilers for DS. We just wanted to warn you!

-MAJOR SPOILER WARNING–
Born before man recorded time, I lived for thousands of years, believing myself to be something I’m not.

Someone I’m not.

Lied to and betrayed by gods, Daimons, and Dark-Hunters, I’ve struggled to find my way in a world where I’ve been cursed since the moment a vengeful goddess prematurely ripped me from my mother and planted me into the womb of an innocent woman who thought me her son.

Trained as a slayer and predator, I’ve learned to fit in and stay low. To become a tool for evil. Until I was sent to kill the one woman I couldn’t. My hesitation cost her, her life.

Or so I thought. In an act of betrayal that makes all the others pale in comparison, I’ve learned that things are not what they seem in this world and that my Phoebe still lives.

Now I will have to travel into the very pits of Hades to try and save her, even as everyone around me attempts to steal what little soul I have left. There’s only one person at my back and I’m not sure I can trust her either, for she was born of an enemy race. Yet sometimes the road to redemption is one that singes us to our very core. And if I fail to find the answers I need to save Phoebe, more than just my wife will die.

We will lose the world. Both human and Daimon. 

                           ~Urian of the House of Aricles

***Please note that this book was previously titled BATTLE BORN and retitled to STYGIAN

 

Review;

Ms. Kenyon has done it again, caused me to have more questions by books end then answers.  So much happened in this book that she had me scratching my head going, ‘oh so that’s the connection’, and then at other times going ‘pardon, come again, what did I just read?’  Yes folks this was a confusing book to read at times and by books end I had more sticky notes attached to my ipad then you could imagine. It was the only way I could keep all the info straight and semi co-herent in my brain, lol! Yes there was a good chunk of Stygian where I felt like I was re-reading either Kiss of the Night, Acheron, One Silent Night, Styxx, and Dragonsworn but the scenes were craftily re-worked to be seen from Urian’s POV.  Pieces of Urian’s story that I wasn’t quiet sure of, or felt like a mystery needing solving suddenly fell into place thanks to these re-worked scenes.  Through these scenes we got to see sides of Ash, Stryker, Apollymi, Styxx, Savitar, Davyn, Paris and other characters that we weren’t privy to before.  All of these characters played major roles in shaping Urian into the creature he is today. Yes I said creature because he is rather unique to their world.  Thanks to Ms. Kenyon finally writing Urian’s story we learn that he is part human, Atlantean, Apollite, and Egyptian, and has the blood of three pantheons running through him.  We learn he has special powers and when used one of his arms lights up with special symbols that come directly from the Source.  Urian’s uniqueness also allowed him to prey on the most corrupt souls and not go Trelos(insane in the Daimon/Apollite world).  This also allowed him to go longer in between feedings and also be able to sustain his Apollite wife Phoebe.  Since Urian has the blood of Apollymi, Bet, Set, and Ash running through him, the final fate of the world is now running through his veins and bloodline.  He’s just as important to the world as Ash is, if not more now.

On top of learning everything we needed to know about Urian, we also get a good look at the Apollite/Daimon world.  How they are forced to live, what they’ve endured all these years at the hands of not only the gods/goddesses but the human world as well.  It puts their existence into a whole new light and makes us look at them differently.  It really wasn’t their fault at all, but stupid Apollo because he’s a man whore, and accidentally through Bethany for falling in love with Styxx and giving her allegiance/protection to the wrong side unknowingly.  If she hadn’t done that, then the Apollite curse wouldn’t have happened, Acheron wouldn’t have been killed thus causing Apollymi to destroy Atlantis and sink it to the bottom of the ocean. One little mistake and it triggered a huge chain reaction that affected so many in the end. 

Throughout Stygian we not only learn about Urian and get his perspective on his life, the Apollites, Daimons, and the Dark Hunters, but we also had a lot of surprises regarding other characters and events that have happened throughout the series.  One being exactly how Artemis creates her Dark Hunters, and I’m not saying because it was a big surprise to me and it’s Urian who figures this out.  Two of the biggest surprises in regards to characters for me were Apolloymi and yes I dare say it Stryker.  Who knew Apollymi and Stryker both possess a heart and could actually care about someone other then themselves.  I wish I could say more about these two, but I’d be giving away even more spoilers in this review and you know how I hate spoilers.  😉  Let’s just say they aren’t as bad or awful as we were first led to believe. Everything they’ve done so far has always been in the best interest of those they love and hold dear.  I’m actually glad I have a whole new perspective regarding these two characters.  They’ve really grown on me and it’s all Urian’s fault, LoL!!  Darn you Urian and Ms. Kenyon!!

As I attempt to wrap this review up because I could seriously keep going here as we learn so much in Stygian you’re probably wondering why I haven’t mentioned anything about Urian’s love life/HEA.  All I’m going to say to that is read the book because it’s another part of his life that shapes him, and in the end I was very surprised regarding his HEA.  Am I happy about it, yes, is it one of that events that made me go; “pardon, come again, where’d this come from” yes it was but I loved every minute of it, along with the whole book.  I loved every moment of Stygian, her characters once again carried the story, the humour was there to lighten the mood when needed, and at other times the intensity was there punctuate a moment.  I’m glad we finally got to see what the life of an Apollite/Daimon means.  It’s a part of the Dark Hunter world that needed telling so thank you Ms. Kenyon and Urian.  For anyone whose a fan of this series it’s a must read. 

Until next time my fellow Menyons, happy reading!!

Taking a Shot by Taryn Leigh Taylor – a Review

Taking a Shot by Taryn Leigh Taylor – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo

 

Description:
Hockey star Brett Sillinger’s never been afraid of a little trouble. But when his personal life ends up in the tabloids, he knows his career is on thin ice. Luckily, a new team decides to take a chance on him. All he has to do is keep head in the game. But when temptation walks up wearing black knee-high boots, looking for one night of nameless, no-strings passion, well, what’s a guy to do?

Chelsea London is looking to misbehave. What’s being good ever gotten her, besides getting dumped and passed over for a big promotion at work? But her one delicious night of rebellion has unexpected consequences–her hot one-night stand is the latest addition to her father’s hockey team. And suddenly, one night of bad-girldom isn’t nearly enough.

But one false move, and Brett might spend this season in the penalty box…

 

Review;

I really enjoyed Taking a Shot by Taryn Leigh Taylor.  It was a fun, fast, flirty read with just enough hockey talk to keep this hockey fan happy.  I really liked Brett and Chelsea from the get go.  Both characters are fun, witty, sexy and know how to charm the socks off each other. Their scenes are full of fun, sexy, flirty chemistry and keep the story going from beginning to end.  Watching the two of them deal with their adventure was enjoyable from beginning to end.

Even though Brett is the ‘supposed’ bad boy of the hockey world, we do learn he has a heart of gold underneath all his screw ups in his younger hockey days.  His scenes with his sister/brother-in-law and new niece are so precious and sweet that you can’t help but want him to get a HEA in his social life and professional life.  I loved the way he went completely overboard with all his baby shopping for her, but what I loved most was how he wanted Chelsea to be a part of it all and go with him to meet the newest addition in his family. Those were precious and tender scenes and we get to see that Chelsea and Brett are falling in love with each other and don’t realize it yet, or just don’t want to see it yet. 

Yes there is just enough drama between the two of them to keep the story going, but thankfully it didn’t over power the rest of their story. It was just the right amount of drama to make both characters realize they had fallen in love and that the other person was the best thing to ever happen to them.  I especially enjoyed the final scenes where Chelsea decides she’s going to win her man back.  I had a few chuckles with these scenes thanks to a couple of the supporting cast of characters but there were also some oooo and aaaa moments too. 

Taking a Shot is the type of book you can read in one sitting, tucked away in your little reading nook with a good glass of wine and box of chocolates.  If you’re a sports fan, especially a hockey fan and enjoy a good sports themed romance, then this one’s a must.

Until next time, happy reading everyone!!

Sliding Home by Kathy Lyons – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iBooks / BAM / Book Depository

 

Description:
Shy and reserved, good girl Ellie McDonald is determined to break out of her shell–and her relationship rut. First order of business, woman up and finally ask her longtime secret crush, Jake Armstrong on an old-fashioned date. She’s not at all his type–which is great. Once Jake turns her down she can finally move on. Except he says yes…

MVP short-stop Jake Armstrong has tried to keep his bad boy nature under wraps. But there’s nothing he likes more than tempting sweet Ellie to the dark side. No one need know.

But when the hotel catches fire and their rescue–while nearly naked–is caught on camera, the two have a PR problem. Jake’s solution is a fake relationship, just for the season. Only for Ellie, there’s nothing fake about it…

 

Review:

I really enjoyed Sliding Home by Kathy Lyons.  It was a fun, fast and flirty read.  Ms. Lyon’s stories are fun to read, with charming and interesting characters who make you want to sit back, and relax with a good glass of wine in your favourite reading area. 

In Sliding Home we meet Ellie and Jake.  I liked both characters from the get go.  Their personalities just seemed to resonate and jump off the pages for me.  They carried the story seamlessly and allowed the reader to really get to know them and get a sense of where they are coming from.  There were times my heart ached for both of them and I just wanted them both to be happy and get their HEA.  They do, but not without the usual drama that precedes it.  Ms. Lyon’s kept the story real, with real issues and allowed the drama to unfold as it needed to unfold. 

I enjoyed the pace that Ms. Lyon’s set for this adventure between Ellie and Jake and never felt like it was rushed.  I liked their romance, it was sweet and charming, with just enough sexy moments to keep things interesting.  I especially liked the hero scene, where Jake had to save Ellie, himself and a young boy from a burning building. It was intense and sit on the edge of your seat worthy.  It made me think of the many fire-fighters movies and tv shows I’ve watched.  However, my favourite moment had to be when Jake came to his senses and realized he loved her.  Even though he was in pain and sick with infection from a tear in his diaphragm from his daring fire rescue, he needed to get to Ellie. I was chuckling as this scene unfolded and he gave his poor PR person a heart attack, and proceeded to threaten her that he’d search the whole hospital to find her, infection be damned. When he tosses the sheet off, jumps out of bed, tries to pull his iv out and tells his PR person she has until his fever gets to 100 degrees to have her in his room or else, I was howling with laughter.  Leave it up to Jake to go all He-man on his PR person after everything she’s done for him throughout his career.  It was a priceless scene, but when Ellie finally makes her way to his room and he admits his feelings, tells her he loves her, wants to marry and have babies with her it was swoon-worthy.  Even though Ellie thought he was delirious from the fever, it was still swoon-worthy.  It was a touching ending to a drama filled, yet sexy romantic read. Ms. Lyons has hit another one out of the ballpark with this one.

Until next time, happy reading everyone.
