As of May 30th – Finished The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason . I enjoyed it. The only negative I can say is that I put it down multiple times in the process of reading it.

So, I’m still in North Carolina, but about two hours closer to home. Staying with my godparents for the evening, then on to Asheville tomorrow to see some friends who just happen to be in one of my favorite cities.
