I guess it hasn't come into my mailbox yet. Thanks. I got the 21 that you put on Jake's site. I'll download or copy the other list. OT: The other morning I was just about to roll over and go back to sleep, when I realized that if I sleep too late, even when I go to bed late, I won't have time in my lifetime to read or validate all the books I want to, so I got out of bed. I love to sleep and eat as well as read and do crossword puzzles and doublecrostics, so it's a hard choice, but as I get older I realize I may not have all that much time left to read everything I want to or validate everything I'd like to. smile Cindy --- Silvara <silvara@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Cindy: > > I posted the RITA winners on the list. > > As you will see Susan Elizabeth won several Ritas. > There are 13 different > categories and it tries to encompass all types of > romances.
