Barbara, how do you like Gerard?

Sorry Heather once I read something, it's wiped from my memory. I gave the first two in the series 4 stars and the 3rd 3 stars. I have about 15 of her books on my TBR so I obviously liked them.

Haha. I'm the opposite. I might forget 1 in every 100.

Really? I forget the plot as soon as I start the next book. I finished Last Man Standing and loved it!

Hmm... I have a book with a letter on it, but I feel like that's more office supply than school.

Unfortunately I would agree. Not exactly what I was going for.

Yep, I'm not going to be getting that one. I have one series that would work, but I don't love it and I don't want to buy the next book in the series so I think I'm going to leave it be unless something shows up magically.
