I actually just finished The Short Victorious War by David Weber last night. It's book 3 of his Honor Harrington books (On Basilisk Station and The Honor of the Queen are the first two). Military sci-fi with a strong female protagonist and a good read for an action/adventure story. I may start book 4 next (Field of Dishonor) or I may get something else for my nook since I have some gift cards to spend.

Ooooo This one sounds really interesting! Never heard of it! Gonna have to go to my wish list!!
Ah, you are in luck. On Basilisk Station is available for free download from the publisher's web site here. Baen Books (the publisher of the Honor Harrington books) is very big into e-books and getting their books into the hands of readers and makes a lot of books (especially the first book in a series) available for free. If anyone is interested, you can take a look at their complete free library (along with their reasoning for having it). I've read several of their books (and my hubby has read even more) if anyone wants a recommendation.

One more for me to eight. and off to HAED to put Forest Walk in my Wish List. Getting way too too long over there, but wouldn't that look great along one side of a dragon afghan (which is probably years away - except that I bet I end up with another unfinished afghan in my WIP's in less than a year!)

I'm telling you ... a lot of people picked the same numbers, this could end up funny. There are 5 numbers left and most of you have the same 3 out of those. It'd be hilarious if the other 2 came out tomorrow! But geez! Someone HAS to win tomorrow!!

I think I have 8 not 7. I think I miscounted. I need to go back and check. Good thing it isn't tomorrow. I might have to stayed glued to the "puter". Whatever turns out thought, this has been a lot of fun and how interesting that so many of us like so many of the same books.
