There is cold and then there is #$%^&*( COLD!!
I live in Michigan. We are used to winter. I would even describe myself as a hearty midwestern girl, and I can handle usually the weather. I have mittens, I have heavy coats, I have ear muffs.

Book Suggestions?
I have to spend 23 hours on a plane this week and again next week coming home. I have borrowed a Sony eBook. I'm looking for reading suggestions. My preference is good action, totally trashy romance or h/c.
