You know she is famous not just for her books but for bad editing for she does her own. Maybe just maybe it was meant to a C or a D cup. I can see a C or D but not a DD or E cup. I've date a few very strong woman 5'3 to 5'6" who studied and fault in competitions that were C and D cups.

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments I can see a triple D and being fit, as that is how I was in high school. It was still a pain in the ass though.... It seems more believable. I searched the book for more mention of the size, but didn't find it. It is just one of the incidents that point and say "see! see! you need an editor!".

I still think she has barbie in her background though!

Dale Modisette (lordshrill) | 343 comments I just finished my 3rd book this month, The Vampire King (The Kings, #1) by Heather Killough-Walden The Vampire King (The Kings #1) by Heather Killough-Walden. My next book is Kitty in the Underworld (Kitty Norville, #12) by Carrie Vaughn Kitty in the Underworld (Kitty Norville #12) by Carrie Vaughn

I would say this book needs a better author but she did a great job with "The Big Bad Wolf series" Though with this book people really loved it or downright hated it. For me I like the idea of the story but I just can't give it more than 3 stars. Well for one thing it start at nearly the end of book but that ok but does for to long, then jumps not to the beginning but just after. Now I reasonably read Deadly Forecast (Psychic Eye Mystery #11) by Victoria Laurie and it too starts nearly at end but just back to the very begin and every few goes back where nearly end left off. Now this format works for me for they just give you a taste without spoiling the whole story.

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) finished Darkness Becomes Her (Gods & Monsters, #1) by Kelly Keaton , was a pretty good book, ended up rating it 3 strs.
tried reading Eye In The Sky by Philip K. Dick but I couldn't get into it - which is a shame cause the blurb sounded awesome.
now reading Nefilim by Åsa Schwarz which so far is pretty interesting - I like how its about protestors against pollution. I haven't really read a book about this before. also I love the cover, how awesome does it look!!

Vampires Need Not...Apply? (Accidentally Yours, #4) by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
So very … different. I rather like the “everyone” gets another chance sort of thing that is going on. Now for the last book and if the same will happen to crazy goddess or not, since she is batsh** insane and all.


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 2012 comments I'm still on my M/M kick and loving it.

I just finished Mexican Heat (Crimes & Cocktails, #1) by Laura Baumbach and totally loved it. So hot and sweet. Gonna read the incredibly short novella South of the Border by Laura Baumbach and hope like hell that the rest of the books in this series show up soon. Then I'll start L.A. Heat (L.A., #1) by P.A. Brown


message 3459: by Arushi (new)

Arushi | 3652 comments I've been reading Blood Song On Lannister's recommendation. Its really really good. And I only have about 180 or so more pages. The next book won't be out till 2014 - now I need to find something to read after it. Or maybe I will just finish the few I am in the middle of. Choices choices.


message 3460: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments Glad you're enjoying it, Arushi! It sad to know that the second book in the series is already written, but because it's been picked up by a traditional publisher, they're not going to release it until about a year has passed since they published the first one. :(


message 3461: by Dale (new)

Dale Modisette (lordshrill) | 343 comments One of the of things I hate most are dumb ass people who give a book a 1 or 2 star rating before the book even come out. These one people have no damn right or business being on the this site or even reading/listening any book. For they mess with the rating system, even those who give a 5 star rating before it comes out are just as bad. Hell I've gone through a series give most of the books 4 stars and the next book ends up being a 2 1/2 or 3 star book but then the write remember hers/his fans or pulls them self out of the funk and write a 5 star book. One can't just go round rating thing good or bad without all the facts. Here are some example that don't have to with books but knowledge; Martin Luther King jr. was a great man for civil right but he was also an adulteress, Gandhi was also a great of his time but he had racist views of black South Africans, George Washington was the first President of the United States but the man couldn't win a battle even if had 10x the number of the the opposing army and he didn't win the last major by fog, a hurricane came in and destroyed more people/ships in one night they the whole war combine. I'm not trying to change or take away from the myths of said stories but people should learn the whole true before making an informed decisions or as we as book lovers like to quote don't judge a book by its cover.

P.S. DON'T RATE A BOOK BEFORE READING.
P.S.S. Sorry for the rant....................

I really loved that book. I'm happy for the author that he got picked up by a traditional publisher, but that wait sucks.

Reading Zero at the Bone (Zero at the Bone, #1) by Jane Seville and loving it.

Death's Mistress (Dorina Basarab, #2) by Karen Chance

It is dumb to rate a book before you have read it. There are sooo many books where I have seen this done and it is stupid. Unfortunately there isn’t really a way to police it other than to rely on a person’s good nature and sense of fair play … and lotta people don’t have that! The stupid/ignorant and vindictive people are generally the most vocal and demonstrative….

And that my GR friends ... makes me a sad panda. :(

I agree with this, Dale. It's crazy to rate the book. I can understand people posting comments to say that they're excited and desperately waiting for a book, but to go ahead and rate it before they've so much as read a teaser chapter ... it defies logic. After all, how many times have we perhaps read a book that we've really been looking forward to, and it turns out to be a stinker. I think everyone's experienced that to a greater or lesser degree.

So ... no animated gifs in reviews and no rating before you've read the book. It's not much to ask, is it? :D

♥ Ashleigh ♥  Contrary to popular belief I'm not actually mad! (cheshire_red) finished Nefilim by Åsa Schwarz sadly enough didnt turn out to be fantastic, it had a weird paranormal twist which i think the book would of been better off without, though i suppose it did add an unusual twist to the story.
now reading Scent of Magic (Healer #2) by Maria V. Snyder which im VERY much looking forward to starting!!!

Yep. I am almost 80% done - and now am reluctant to finish it - coz I don't wanna wait! Please tell me if the book ends on a cliffhanger? On second thought don't tell me.


message 3469: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments LOL, you'll just need to read and find out, Arushi! I will definitely re-read this book before the next one comes out, because I enjoyed it that much.

I hate it when people rate a book before they've read it.

Unfortunately GR sees this differently. I know there have been threads about this in the feedback group.

Agree....this is totally unfair to the author and the book, let alone to fans that are waiting, even if it is a good review.

I felt the same way when I was reading it. I'll definitely reread it before the next book, too. I was surprised by how much I liked it.

Diane (FriskyVamp) | 372 comments I started the book The Trouble With Fate a few days ago. You know how you read and just can't get into it.
Well that's what happened. To much descriptions, and go nowhere dialog. So I thought I'd put it up and come back another time, then I skipped a couple pages, read, skipped another couple pages. Bingo, now I can't put the book down. Guess I better go back to all those other books that I put up.

Margo | 663 comments Few days ago I've finished Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J. Maas and the 4 short stories that occurred before the events of the first book in the series, and I have to say that I loved it.

I've also read Burn with Me (Fireborne, #1) by R.G. Alexander , not the best book ever but it was interesting and fast read. No idea yet if I'm going to continue with this series so I guess time will tell.

Today I've finished Fairytale Come Alive (Ghosts and Reincarnation, #4) by Kristen Ashley , and like most of Kristen Ashley's books, just simply loved it.

Tomorrow planning on reading Close Remembrance (The Krinar Chronicles, #3) by Anna Zaires

message 3489: by Dale (new)

Dale Modisette (lordshrill) | 343 comments I have question for you all what are the things, food or drink you may have before you start a new book? This was prompted by others to me from G+ and Goodreads. I, myself craft a white chocolate almond mocha. I don't even use white chocolate syrup, I buy Baker's Premium white chocolate and use a 1/4 oz. piece which I finely chop. Anyways with every new book I have a finely crafted 16 oz. cup of coffee drink and if it's really good book I'll make 2 of these great drinks. But in my past I use to start every book with a few glasses of iced peach tea or a hot cup of wild mint tea.

*White chocolate almond mocha*
(My version)

10 oz of Whole Milk
3 oz of Heavy Cream ( 2 oz are to make Whip Cream)
2 tsp of Sugar in the Raw
2 shots of Espresso or 4 oz of coffee
2 drops of Almond Extract (Drop = 1/64 teaspoon (1/2 smidgen)
1/4 oz of Baker's Premium white chocolate

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments Nothing special, since I read anything, anywhere. LOL but if I'm creating like, a special time to read or "finally have a break" I might set myself up with a snack and a drink. maybe something from starbucks or somehting simple as water and an apple.


message 3491: by Lannister (new)

Lannister (lannisteruk) | 10911 comments I'll probably just pour a big glass of Diet Pepsi then get comfy on the couch. I put a cushion on the coffee table so that I can put my feet up in comfort, although sometimes I just sprawl out lengthwise on the couch. But no special drinks or snacks, particularly.


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 2012 comments I like to have Kool-Aid or Sunkist. And eat Chinese food. =D
