We don't celebrate Christmas. I only wish people a happy Yule. LOL

But Merry Curran works for me as well. :-)

[Claire]

I'm sorry Margo, that's rough =/. Hmmm...maybe next year you should just bring a bag of coal!

LMAO!! Dammit, I clearly haven't thought this through. :D

[Enjee, Founder]

This year I announced to family members that I would be serving barbeque for Christmas dinner. They all decided to go eat turkey at my sister's house instead.
Heh heh.
Now I can read in peace...and eat barbeque, too.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

just wanted to say Merry Christmas guys! hope you have a fantastic day!!!

[Lannister]

Enjee, smart move! I kinda wish I could blow off my family and stay home in peace and quiet on Christmas Day.

Ashleigh, did you just give that guy a roll in the hay LMAO!!

[Mon]

Feliz Natal to all of you guys! (yes, thats how we say it in Brazil :D)

Is sooo hot here, and everybody is outside drinking cold wine. So nice.

[Sarah]

I'm at my brother and sister-in-law's house. It's actually nice and I cook with my sister-in-law. Way easier than when I was younger and it was just me cooking for dad and brothers and my family. No mom around. I just wish I had one. Now the in-laws are a nightmare. I won't even get into that. Probably have to head over there tomorrow.

YES and i have to say im proud by how satisfied he looks :P lol

@ Mon,
its super hot here as well, where smack bang in the middle of summer >.< i could totally go for a swim right about now!

[Llaph]

At least you knew it was coming, I forgot. I am date dyslexic, honest I even forget my own birthday when it is coming up most of the time.
I moved in with my family again a few months ago (long stupid story) My mom has mellowed in her old age (lol she turned 54 this year) so she does not give me as much crap as she used to. (plus I have xanax I can take now!)
We live in Texas BBQ is not a threat ... we are having brisket along with ham tomorrow.

My sister and I split the cost to buy my mom a purse for christmas, she came in my room this evening and said, "here you need to wrap this."
1. I am blind
2. she failed at giving me something to wrap it with
Know what I did? I keep boxes and had gotten a new one earlier in the week that was the right size. I took out that mass of tissue paper in the purse, put it into the box, sealed it with duct tape (I always have a roll, it is imperative in most cases), wrapped up the tissue paper around the box as best as I could, and made a bow sort of with the duct tape. There take that Angie ... She complained about wrapping gifts, I told her to buy bags an quit bitching about it. She then yammered on about buying those ... I told her just use grocery bags who cares? (I am so not a girly girl) she informed me that was what she wrapped my presents in. She was going to put bows on the boxes, but changed her mind.
My family is very weird.

[Arushi]

Merry Christmas all of you :)

Merry Curran Sarah! That so works for me!

[Jax]

@ Margo... Sorry about your iffy christmas - I feel your pain...
However, your pain relieves mine a little, knowing that I'm not the only one with a mother and sister that apparently never hear a word that comes out of your mouth. I get a,b and c and then a d as well!
I did however solve my issue slightly by moving away...
Now I mostly have to put up with the phone calls...

So, on that note...
Happy Yule or Lithia (depending on your hemisphere)
Merry Christmas
and...

Merry Curran to everyone! :D

[Margo]

Well currently I'm sitting at my mother's home with my sister, her husband and kids. They just opened a box full of cloths which were sent from Canada for the girls so we have a fashion show :). Of course my sister complains "were do I put all that stuff" and my mother makes tons of pictures so I have 5 minutes break :D

[Jax]

LMAO!!!
I just listened to a song I think is applicable to this discussion... ;D

DropKick Murphy's - The Season's upon us...

Oh, I soooo needed that! :D

[Mon]

Merry Curran, HAHAHAH I like that

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

I'm all late, but Happy Holidays and what not. =D

I finished and Good end to the series.

Starting finally.

[Gin]

I've started I feel like I shouldn't like it, but for some reason it's hard to put down.

[Llaph]

Finished:
Betrayed by Shadows Moonlight, #7) by Nancy Gideon
Should be doing something else, but I had to read it I have till Sunday to get my work done ...
Now to resist another book.

[Arushi]

Gin wrote: "I've started I feel like I shouldn't like it, but for some reason it's hard to put down."

Yep... I know that feeling. It is one of those series. But it is definitely gritty and worth a read.

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

Gin wrote: "I've started I feel like I shouldn't like it, but for some reason it's hard to put down."

Haha, that's an interesting reaction. I love the series, though.

[♥ Ashleigh ♥]

finished !!!! what an ending!! can NOT wait till i get the next book, i need to know what happens NOW!!!!!!!!

[Gin]

At Arushi and Mello I'm definitely enjoying it. Somehow the darker aspects of it out way the cheesy parts. I bet the series is going to be really good though.

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

Oh it will, Gin. It is on the darker side and it will get more so as it goes on.

Finished . The hotness that is that book... Wow!

Starting

[Arushi]

@Mello - really? Hummm I have heard some really mixed reviews for On Dublin Street. But if you say its good, I'll consider giving it a try.

Also, you might enjoy this: http://smexybooks.com/2012/12/an-on-d...

Its an excerpt of the main characters Christmas after the book.

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

I'll be reading that when I get home.

As for the book, I really loved it. Joss has issues. Those issues could probably get on peoples' nerves. I was surprised that they didn't bother me. I think it's only 'cause I know I get funny in relationships, too. I think it's worth giving it a try.

[Diane]

Finished Love is Darkness#1 by Caroline Hanson. It was pretty good....good enough that I want to read the next one. I'm going to look in my library and see what I want to read next.

[Diane]

Found one...Love and Blood (Blood Ties) by Jessica Gibson. Has anyone read this? I know it hasn't been out very long.

[Llaph]

Last Kiss Goodnight (Otherworld Assassin, #1) by Gena Showalter
All I can say is WTF, this book was just wrong, I rarely if ever give a 1 rating to a book and I can't recall giving a book by Showalter less than a 3 ... I was tempted at a few points to not finish this book.
It was like whacking the alien huntress world she made with a big stick, not my favorite series, but I still liked it and this book was a total WTF to me.


P.S. Shill reviews are still stupid and reading the GR page reviews did let me know I am not crazy in what I thought.

[Enjee, Founder]

Starting , since it was on the shelf at BAM a week early.

[Diane]

Ugh just finished Love and Blood. Don't waste your time.
I left a review that will tell you why. Dang now I have
to find something else to read.

[Diane]

Ok starting A Bloody Good Secret book 2 by Sierra Dean
the first book in the series was pretty good.

[Arushi]

Reading
I'll say it: If the cover was not so pretty, I probably would have passed on it.

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Is it that bad Arushi?

[Gin]

I've started

[Llaph]

@ Val:

I did not like it ... and that says a lot for me with a Showalter book.

[Claire]

I think I may start because I have it in paperback. My migraines have been acting up lately, which makes spending hours reading an e-book a Bad Idea. *sigh* the Dresden Files will have to wait until I can get to a bookstore.

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

@ Arushi, i had a hard time reading Alice in zombieland...maybe i'll pass on this one then.

[Jax]

Completely off topic... Just thought I would share...


The Descent series - FREE

[Arushi]

@Val - I have to admit, its not good. I haven't read Alice in Zombieland and now I probably won't. This book is like a template. Everything happens, but nothing is deep enough. It started off on a good note, but it all went downhill from there.

(view spoiler)[The setting was developed in the Alien Huntress series so Gena does not work on it that hard.

The characters. The guy - big, badass, with issues but a heart of gold that only the girl can see.
The girl - delicate, likes him when no one else does, courageous, abused, and somehow still innocent.

They sound like so many other characters in so many other books. Sigh.

Btw, I wonder if you guys remember the dialog from the Angels of Darkness? "Nothing was Taboo" ?

Yeah well its used here again, and still the sex is bland and the romance feels flat. He's more protective than anything else which does kinda work. I would have been happier without any sex at all. Sigh.

I'll just go write a review. (hide spoiler)]

[Arushi]

Thanks Jax!!!

[Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin]

@Arushi From what I've hear, Gena has really toned down her sex scenes in her writing lately. A shame.

@Gin Hope you enjoy it!

Finished and . Really good end for that arc.

Reading

I am not sure if its toned down or just that she doesn't care about the sex part anymore so it ends up being bland. I am good if there is no sex, but if it going to be there, might as well make it hot, or even sweet will do. But not just bleh.

[Sarah ♥ dog crazy ♥ , Mircea's Moderatrix]

Many wonder if it has to do with her being ill and finding comfort in religion. She even writes about that on her website.

[Arushi]

That does explain a lot actually. It might not even be the religion, just the illness itself is an explanation.

[Arushi]

Just finished reading
Its actually really good. I wish the second one was already out.

[Diane]

Finished A Bloody Good Secret by Sierra Dean. I think
this might be one of my favorite series. This was the 2nd in the series.
On to Touch The Demon by Diana Rowland #5 also a good
series.

[Arushi]

Happy New Year Everyone :)

I am just starting the short which is set in the same universe as Flesh.

Also, Room with a View is available for free on Amazon as part of the year end sale: http://www.amazon.com/Room-With-View-...

I can't find the thread where we placed info on free books for some reason. Sigh. Will look for it again later.

[Margo]

Happy New Year!!!

I want to start today 'cause it sounds really similar to one of the stories in my head which I'm telling myself every evening to finally fall asleep so I decided to give it a try.

I don't know if I manage to actually start it today 'cause I have house to clean for the New Years Party and food to make but if not today than tomorrow for sure. :)

Once again Happy New Year Everyone xxx
