Today #insixwords: A good day for reading books!
Things I learned on Twitter: I missed the Twitter chat due to family obligations (Happy b-day, BIL!), but I saw some of it. LOL. #NakedWerewolves FTW! I did, however, get some reviews written, which (as some might know) is the bane of my existence when I go into full-on reading mode! So I'm counting today as a BIG win!

Final Tally: One terrible accident, one gentle alien warrior, one fae lord
