Have started the Graphic Audio "A Movie In Your Mind" audiobook of Shannon Meyer's Rylee Adamson series. Confession. Have never been much of a fan of #urbanfantasy, but #graphicaudio makes them #awesome.

My next #audiobook listen. Still nuts over the Graphic Audio productions. I know they are not for everyone, but I love their "movie in your mind" vibe. It works for me. Someone needs to tell me if there is anything going on between Dina and Sean tho.

Let's face it, I'm terrible with this social media thing when life gets in the way. To celebrate the fact (hubby sent me this), tell me the man of your dreams from whichever chapter you like. Chapter five works too. xoxo
