Today I went to my RWA chapter meeting, the first time since March. The two times I happened to be traveling this spring were on meeting weekends. I presented part of the program on judge training for our contest/critiquing. Super critiquer Annie Solomon was the other presenter. It was nice to see everyone and to go out to lunch with the girls. Afterward, I dragged my friend Monica to Barnes & Noble so she could get J.R. Ward’s Dark Lover so she can get hooked on the series like me. 
She ended up getting the first two, Jessica Andersen’s new book, the first in her The Final Prophecy series, and a Katie MacAlister book. I was sad to see, however, that yet another B&N has removed the series romance (Harlequin/Silhouette) books from their shelves. Sigh.
I meant to put up these pictures a few weeks ago when my rose bushes were blooming. Still, they’re too pretty not to share.

Friend Monica reporting in on the J.R. Ward Dark Lover purchase. Okay, I haven’t started it yet, I’m trying to finish a book I already had going. But I soooo can’t wait…I’m seriously into the vampire thing since I discovered the TV show Moonlight. Before then I hadn’t been interested in scary vampires, now I can’t get enough!
So many thanks, Trish! You’re helping my latest addiction with recommended reading material! heehee
And BTW, very lovely roses!
