    I really need to take time to read those Jessica Shirvington books! They sound so good and I have the first two already. I love the covers on Jennifer Smith's books. Happy reading.

    Congratulations on turning two! My blog turned one this past Sunday. So exciting!

    I have not read anything by neither Smith nor Shirvington, but I know that both authors are very popular! I hope you enjoy your new reads :D

    Have a fabulous weekend!
