WOOHOO Tammy and Banshee!

BTW, Tammy, when you have a title like The 3rd Woman, you would spell the number word to get a letter - 3rd=third. Keep that in mind if you use a title like that for a spell out. The book worked for you because there was a T in WHITE!! YAY!

@Banshee - love me some Jack Reacher!!! Who does not resemble that douche Tom Cruise!!
