By the time this post is published, we will all be back home, but right this moment, as I type this up, we are enjoying our last day at Daufuskie, a secluded island near Hilton Head, SC and Savannah, GA. We were lucky to score a cottage (without having to break the bank) with front-row access to the beach, something that has always been on my bucket list and that I was thrilled to cross off.

And I just love your ratings chart - I've never seen that before!
February has been a really bad month for me too, I've just been really stressed and I have so much homework (that darn math teacher of mine). Hopefully your march reading, and mine, will be better!
Amelia, thanks! :)
Julie, ditto on that! I'm changing my beliefs. :)
Morgan, I guess a lot of us had a bad February!
Helen, would love to know how you find The Help!
Kristen, I agree. Wonder if it has something to do with just being 28 days! :-/
