And I had hoped to start on these ones:

I actually finished Kiss of Surrender, Ashes of Twilight, and A Winter Dream. Instead of picking up Undead, I decided that I didn't get enough of Christmas yet and went with a Christmas cozy mystery:

  2. Oh - I see you listened to a couple of books I am interested in. I hope to get one or two from Audiobook Jukebox so I can't read your reviews yet. :-) Happy Reading and Happy New Year!
