Last weekend I was in London visiting with the lovely Ana, Ana and Meghan (which is wonderfully described by Ana in her recent post about Downton Abbey - I had so much fun ladies, thanks for making hanging out so enjoyable). I stayed over a night in Shoreditch to see a friend from university who was passing through London. This Friday I'm off back to the capital for a theatre weekend with my mother (for anyone who's interested we're seeing War Horse, Les Miserable for a second time and taking a theater walking tour).
I'm having so much fun off line at the moment and summer holds the promise of many more activities. I've also got a lot of on-line posts sitting around waiting to go up and lots of lovely online chatter seems to always be happening. Let me put my best foot forward just before I pack my suitcase and begin by showing you the results of the first round judging decisions in the Nerds Heart YA tournament. Here's what happened in the first round and a link to what the second round match ups will

War horse is AMAZING! Let us know what you think...
Three of the books I think will make it to the finals are still in it. Five Flavors of Dumb, A Love Story Starring My Dead Best Friend and Bleeding Violet.
Pull is my sleeper pick
Verity and litlove thanks for your nice comments (and sorry for the late reply).

When we play the WOW, we need to try Buy WOW Gold and spend less money, do we have any good way to Buy RS Gold from trust friends? We need to Buy Tera Gold so we can play the game becomes more easy and update the levels quickly.
