    Oh no, that's quite a lie to tell. But somehow I have a feeling he's actually lying now... I still haven't read anything by Kagawa, but I'll have to get on it! And I hope you have a good holiday later this month! Thanks for sharing :) Hope you have a great weekend!

    Whoa - I think any response I would have to such a statement would include expletives. Eek! Love the cover though.

    I'm guessing that he isn't really lying and really DOES want to start over.

    So what does he want?

    I've never read any of Kagawa's books but the raves ....!

    This came recommended to me. Hope to pick it up soon. I wonder if he's lying now too!

This is the eighth and final season.



REVIEW: I loved the whole series, but especially loved this season as it wrapped it all up.  There were a couple of moments that were so incredibly tragic, but also a couple moments where the most tragic things couldn't have happened to better people.

This is the season where you will sit on the edge of your seat, waiting to see who will win the kingdom. Does your favorite character prevail above the others? MIne d…

It was so much fun to do! It was super cool to watch the tinsel levitate too! Then we sat to watch the movie.
What a good movie for the whole family! It was filled with action and adventure. Plus the story line was what I appreciated most.
The hubby had lots to say about this one. He was happiest that the film focused on one of the original Spider-man nemesis', Mysterio. He is one of the best Ma…
