  1. Oh, my gosh, Monica...you got some AWESOME gifts! I love my Kindle Fire...you're going to be totally addicted. Look at all of your Texans gear, girl! I'm so jealous; let's hope it brings some luck for the rest of this season and 2015 - woo hoo! Well, I'll be interested to see what you think about Save Me; for whatever reason, I just couldn't get into it. Newport's cover is intriguing, so I'll be curious to see what you think of that one and thanks for the reminder on The Good Girl - GAH! I totally forgot about that one! Hope your new year is off to a great start!
