There has been so much going on over here and so much changing soon. I wish I could say I was reading a lot, but it's feeling like a luxury at the moment.

Loved The Help, and I love your comment about "zilch." I've been glued to the Olympics on TV since Friday and haven't read one page since then. Luckily I read a bit before then :) Have a great week.
