What are you looking forward to?








Michelle Helliwell says I'm looking forward to finishing my edits on SW and getting back to my WIP!! Hmmmm - this is actually a very thought provoking question.

Kelly Boyce says I look very serious in that picture. I must be thinking 'hurry up and snap it, the chocolate finally arrived!!'

Jehara says Having just seen Get Him to the Greek, I really want to read Booky Wook. I am a new fan of Russell Brand.
