I've read Stockholm Syndrome, Sinister Devotion, Vision of Love, and am halfway through Casual (I will eventually get round to reading it all) and have made a start on 00Carter.

I'm posting this here so I don't clog up the Engarde thread, since the duels will be posted there...and no one likes to weed through endless posts just to get to what the thread is really about.  *shakes head* Sorry...I had a Mare/Jullilly moment there.  :P (You girls know I love ya!  ;) )

Anyways... picking my three stories was pretty darn easy cuz every story falls into one of the categories I can't choose from...except 5, and of those 5, one is in a genre I marked that I preferred not to read...which leaves me with 4, and one of those I had started to read at one time...so BOOM...I'm left with 3.

LMAO! I just got a total kick out of that, for some reason, and had to share. :D

I'm being asked "What's so funny?" and I'm just having to wave it off, "Nevermind, you wouldn't understand."
