Happy Labor Day weekend to all who observe it and to those who have an extra day off tomorrow. I know many of you have plans for today and tomorrow that involve good food, family, and friends. Those are 3 of my favorite things. I think of you guys as a part of my family as well
Beyond that, the reason I’ve gathered you all here is to let you know that on Tuesday, September 4th we’re going to be celebrating my favorite author, Sylvain Reynard, and the official release of his fabulous books, Gabriel’s Inferno, and Gabriel’s Rapture by Penguin Publishing.
We’ve been plotting and planning all kinds of posts for you to enjoy on this very special day. It’ll be an all out SR and Gabriel day with some new surprises, as well as a fond look back at some of our favorite SR/GI/GR/Gabriel posts from the past year.
I hope you’ll join us for a day of fun as we pay tribute to a writer that has captured our hearts in friendship, given us countless hours of reading pleasure, and a fantasy book boyfriend that continues to melt our hearts and leave us wanting more: Gabriel Emerson…our Professor.
This author and these books are NYT and USAToday bestsellers for a reason…if you haven’t read them yet…do yourself a favor and see why we love them so much!

My workday will be happier waiting for your posts. New surprises you said…*claps hands* .

You go girl!
Hahaha you do that while a wait in post coital bliss to have my pic taken by The Professor.
Just to add, I’m a lost cause. On my umpteenth re-read of the books.
*sighs & pulls out books to re-read (again)* Well if I must, I must. After all, I really should be properly prepared for Tuesday’s festivities – you know – just in case there’s a quiz. Okay. I know. I know. It’s a flimsy excuse, but can you blame me when a reason to place them back at the top of my must-read-immediately-list falls so easily into my lap?? *cocks brow and side-eyes Tamie* You gonna tell me you’re not doing exactly the same thing?? Hmmmmm?? I thought so. *giggles* Really, thanks for doing this Tamie! You’re the BEST!! Cheers! Trayce
