What is wrong with Matt? He is too cute. I am so getting this book.
It's a great show, isn't it! I had such a blast when I went.

Started
which seems to be the exact opposite mood of the book I just finished.
About 2/3 through
Not steamy at all but is a fun light read! I think that Gail Carriger of the Soulless series and the writers of The Mummy movies with Brendan Frazer must have read this! :D
Sounds like fun Peggy. :)I feel like a slug for not recording it but I was supposed to be buddy reading
later in the month with someone and I think it might have been someone from this group. If I was supposed to be reading with you, please poke me. It's the one last BR I'm trying to square away.
I finished
and it didn't wow me, but I liked it. I felt like we waited so long for something to happen that by the time it did, I was so over it already. lolNow on to another buddy read,
with a few friends here in True Love, Can't wait! I'll start this in the morning.
Finished Hooch's & Dan's story... not impressed. Didn't seem like the Hooch & Dan I know.
Kay that sounds so fun! Do you have pictures? I was just meh about Spider's Bite. Maybe it was my mood, maybe it was because I read it in paperback and I prefer ebook -- this was over 3 years ago so who knows what I would think now. I know many people love the series.Lori!!!! I feel your pain! :D What did you think of Izzy's book? I just love that man so much.
Leea I actually loved
. I agree it took a long time for the story to develop and there was 50% of the book in set up. But I think she did such a good job with the characters, the town and the setting that I loved it. One of the reasons I love her books so much is because I feel like I am living in them. I am now longing for another book by her - also,
was one of my favorites by her, so I loved revisiting Caleb and Norah.
I am over 50% in to
and I am starting
-- but haven't yet. Leea, I can do Lie Still if you like as well.
Maybe Sunday, for Lie Still?

So if that makes us "slugs"...LOL! But I'm worse because I couldn't quite remember which book either. Right now I'm buddy-reading a book with Peggy Z - the Crocodile book and started another buddy read - a Viking romance
. Hey, are you reading that one too? If so, could we hold off on Spider's Bite a couple weeks?

The book starts out with familiar scenes... and Matt getting his gym is familiar. But it just seems as if there's a mix of what I believe them to be and then completely unexpected behavior. It's sort of entertaining, but not as hot as I'd expect. And IMO, just not quite right. There's a new co-author, and I suspect that she did the majority of the writing.
Anyway, if you're thinking of getting the book, try not to pay for it or borrow it. I'd like a second opinion, 'cuz maybe I'm just... who knows?
Regina, Leea, & Angie...sorry I going have to bail on Into the Light. I'm glad you all enjoyed it for the most part. When I do get to it, I'll follow up the discussion in the Western thread.Regina, it was a fun time. I posted one pic here on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/3... I'll email you a link to the other pics.

Ok I will see if I can borrow it or hopefully it is cheap. You got me curious.
Regina wrote: "OMG Kay -- that picture!!"I know! I can't stop re-living the moment! Hahah!!
That's awesome!Lisa, I messaged you.
Marcella, do you have Kindle? If so, I can LOAN you the Matt/Hooch story. Send your email or kindle address through my Inbox here at GR and I'll get it to you right away.

Where is Hooch and Matt's story?
LOL, Kay! You look better than them all!
Wendy F wrote: "Where is Hooch and Matt's story?"Wendy, you can get it from the Marquesate web site, but it takes you to Lulu.com. Or it's available in Kindle version from Amazon.com.
I'm trying to loan it to Marcella, who has a Nook... so if anyone's done it that way (straight from Loan on Manage Your Kindle), let us know.
And Wendy, if you have a Kindle, after we figure out how to get it to Marcella, you can borrow it. I'm not impressed, though. I'd advise trying to get a free/borrowed copy before shelling out the $6+ for it.
PLUS, you probably want to finish Special Forces, first.

Haha! So true. Kay you look fantastic. :)
Thanks, Regina! I still can't believe it. I have one more concert to go to on Friday and then that is it for me & The Package Tour :(
You do look great!! Wow another night of fun! Do you get to meet all the guys again?
@ Kay ... So, ummm, who are those guys? Should I know them?
Ian wrote: "@ Kay ... So, ummm, who are those guys? Should I know them?"
You have never heard of New Kids on The Block? They were popular in the 90s. The had songs "The Right Stuff", etc.
Leea, yes...i get to meet them again but not by myself. I couldn't afford to do that again. LOLIan, New Kids on the Block came before Backstreet Boys and Nsync. They were huge in the 80s-90s and started that whole boy band merchandising.
He's an Aussie. And a guy. He probably missed out on the American pre-teen girl fantasy. : p
Stacia ~ Vixen of Variety wrote: "He's an Aussie. And a guy. He probably missed out on the American pre-teen girl fantasy. : p"LOL!! I sure hope so ;) Don't worry Ian, I was never a new kids fan... sorry Kay!
No worries, Leea. I get made fun of a lot by friends for being such a fangirl. But they give me that nostalgic feeling when I watch them perform. How I wish to be young again. LOL
Kay wrote: "No worries, Leea. I get made fun of a lot by friends for being such a fangirl. But they give me that nostalgic feeling when I watch them perform. How I wish to be young again. LOL"I still love them too Kay! A friend of mine went to their concert the same day you did at The Staples Center with a group of her friends.
Kay wrote: "No worries, Leea. I get made fun of a lot by friends for being such a fangirl. But they give me that nostalgic feeling when I watch them perform. How I wish to be young again. LOL"I thought I was going to marry Jordan. LOL
I still say I'm going to marry Jordan! ;)Thanks Lori! I'll check it out after I"m done.

LOL @ Ian. 90s version of the Village People. Too funny.
That's funny Ian. They aren't as tacky as The Village People.
Uh, I don't know. I think "Hanging Tough" was pretty cheesy.They were so cute though.
= mindfuck. I wasn't sure if I really liked the book or hated it. It's definitely a trip though.Reminded me of the Natalee Holloway case and the movie Brokedown Palace.

Blasphamy! Hahaha, Hanging Tough is greatness! (Although Please Don't Go Girl and I'll Be Loving You were the best on that album.)
They're rough? Or was it ruff? Like a dog?

Sold. I just added that to my wish list.
It was so silly and fluffy at the start that I was rolling my eyes and wondering what I'd gotten in to.Then by the time I got to the end, I was half sick and my mind was reeling.
It was definitely something I'm curious to see how others will react. Especially with the way it ended.

I think I wore out my cassette with I'll Be Loving You! LOL
Did you own
?
I just finished
and I cried! It is sexy smart and sweet. Loved it.
That looks good Regina! All this NKOTB talk has me giggling. I love all the fangirling going on.
