LOL

Yeah, I am in love with character redemption -- both in real life and fiction -- so that can spoil some of the fun.

Yeah, I only just watched the movie for the first time recently, because I was stuck in a hotel room and it was on a p..."

That is always the risk with series!

I searched here and on Josh's blog, but didn't find one. Maybe Facebook?

HA.

Possible. I'm going to check my book notes. I usually keep a copy there.

Speaking of narrators, did any of you listen to Seance on a Summer's Night? I'm curious about what you thought of Matt Haynes.

Who is the narrator??

Could they possibly be worse than anything MLR did?

That sounds like a wonderful vacation. :-)

No wonder nothing really shocks us anymore.

I mean, not that I'm not genuine on all platforms, but because it's visual, because I'm just sharing photos, I don't feel like I need to be quite as cautious or explain so much.

What I love about instagram is I'm able to share a different part of myself--a more informal part of myself--through photos. It's more light hearted and genuine I think.

The problem with twitter now days is it is 99% advertising and political rants. I just use it to keep my name out there and plug my books. Very rarely am I able to have an actual conversation with anyone--although am always pleasantly surprised when it happens.

Yeah, it would be a surefire way of getting yourself automatically disqualified from Sam's professional consideration. Look how long it took him to "forgive" JJ's running to him about Adam.

That's not something Jason would do, but yes, Petty couldn't know that.

It could be a little of both.

Or that he was drawing a not necessarily fair parallel.

Steve wrote: "Katie wrote: "My question is do you think Petty flat out asked Sam about Jason or about the change in Sam’s availability? Or just let it go (since he knows now why Sam was “different” the last time..."

That's my thought. Petty verified it with Jason because he didn't quite dare to ask Sam.

Yes. For Sam it's just sex. Or at least that has been his mindset until Jason. And partly that was his determination that it should remain so, that anything else would interfere with his work.
