Where is that GR??!
Why do I think he's off celebrating with Beth over her Rita WIN!!!??
Happy August. Looking forward to another month of fun.
congrats Auntie Cindy on GR
Looks like August is going to be another good month... hope everyone had a good time at RWA
Another exciting month in the lair, I think the GR is still with Donna Aunty. Seems like he had a very, very good time at RWA
August is bound to be a hot mess if the GR is on the loose! I like to think of him securely nestled with Aunty Cindy.
In the meantime, we need to do some celebrating for BETH!!!
Congrats Beth ! :) ! :) ! :)
Sounds like another fun month in the Liar :) Only down point -- that means Summers almost over :( but then again it means more new releases :)
Congratulations Beth!! Looking forward to another great month.
Great lineup for the hot August days! Whooohoooo!
Congrats Aunty Cindy for gettine the rooster! Sounds like a fabulous month ahead!
Morning All!
Yes, August is gonna be GREAT! What a FABULOUS bunch of guests, including my friend and all around nice person Brenda Novak. Can't WAIT! Esp. for more Launch Parties!
I see a few of the Cabana Boys are straggling in and heading straight for their rooms.
The GR flew in shortly before 2 am and has been asleep ever since. I'm afraid he looks a bit the worse for wear... I think he's missing a few tail feathers. ;-)

Oh, and I've been shouting it all over cyber-space, but let me just say it again (coz I LURVE the sound) SUPER CONGRATS TO BETH for her Rita WIN!!!
I'm giving those Cabana Boys exactly ONE more hour of rest and then we are going to PAR-TAY!!!
Why thank you Lars, for the lovely batch of mimosas to start the morning celebrations!
