I tend to find that the majority of the books I haven't read, and have never even heard of! They should really have seperate awards for romance, historical romance, paranormal romance, erotica etc. most people will only read one or two of those genres, and erotica is definitely different to clean romance books!

Amy | 2535 comments Would anyone like a free copy of Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Between, #1) by April Genevieve Tucholke ?

I got sent two by Amazon about three months ago, I did contacted them but they told me to keep it. I'd just need an address to send it too, by pm. UK only (Due to shipping costs, Sorry)

Let me know. :)

So true! I couldn't find any book that I want to vote for. This is the first year when I haven't voted a romance book! :(

and how in the world "ugly love" got nominated? the female lead decided she "loved" him because the "sex" was great! Gah!

Samia Ruponti (snoebell92) | 451 comments anyone have any cool idea for a new born baby gift? I'm so over gifting dresses!


message 5077: by Tati (new)

Tati If you're good with kids, I'd offer to babysit them when they're a little older, so that the parents can have some free time... Or you can give some toys

message 5079: by Tati (new)

Tati A friend of mine just had a baby, and she posted this as gift suggestions:

Homemade frozen food;
Groceries
Your time, so she can take a shower without worrying about the baby

Samia Ruponti (snoebell92) | 451 comments thanks everyone! I'm thinking of making up a bath basket for the mother. she said everyone's gift is for the baby! :P

babysitting is a nice idea too!

I usually do what I call a 'sanity preserver pack' - that sounds nuts, but bear with me.
I get things like pacifiers, teething gel, anti-colic drops, liquid paracetamol, a thermometer, and whatever else I think of at a the time. I know that people don't often buy that sort of stuff, and when you have a newborn who won't stop crying at 3am, and you haven't slept for more than 10 minutes at a time for over a week, things like teething gel, and anti-colic drops, and even pacifiers (even if you swore you would never use one) suddenly look like life-savers. I know my friends have all thanked me massively!

Another kinda-random thing, but also handy when you first have a baby, is one of those little eye-sleep mask thingies? you end up sleeping at right random times of the day, and one of those little sleep mask things is so good for helping you to sleep even when it's really sunny.

You might have guessed, but I had a really difficult baby. He didn't sleep for more than 20 minutes max, until he was 13 months old. nightmare.

That is an amazing idea Sarah! I'll use that for when I have to hand out gifts for parents. Absolutely amazing!

And wow, poor you! :/ As much as I love babies, I'd probably get to a point where I'd love them a little less - the heat of the moment, you know? Oh well, who am I to talk, I'm not a parent :)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Does anyone have any good tips for dealing with anxiety? I'm alone until Friday and I'm freaking out about having to spend the nights alone. :'(


message 5087: by Tati (new)

Tati You're alone until Friday? I'd kill to be in your situation...

I'd suggest binge watching TV shows, movies, reading... Going out for movies etc. You could also ask someone to spend the night or talk with them on the phone etc.

I usually just invite myself to stay at someone else's house.


message 5089: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments @Tati Yeah, normally I enjoy some time on my own, it's just me having a really bad time these days :/
I have a friend on standby, so if it gets too bad she'll come over. But I'll give it a try first! :)

@Sarah - Haha! :D I am away most of the day tomorrow and have a friend coming over in the afternoon, so it's just the night :)

The book was absolutely horrible, unless you like to laugh about....well, pretty much everything the book had.

But that is the beauty of awful books. they make really awesome tv shows and movie. Gossip girl is a prime example of that. I couldn't even finish the second book, but I watched every episode of the show! So fifty shades may turn out to be good too!
