I don't think I could handle that. I'm terrified of flying. Anytime I have to fly, I'm a nervous wreck the entire time. I think 4 hours was the longest I've been on a plane.

I usually take a pill before I fly. I do a lot of traveling for work and it sucks. I also can't believe that I've done a ton of flying for vacations too. But long 10+ hour trips are the worst.

I'm a bit of a weird one - being in the air so long really doesn't worry me, I just read and eat and sleep! It's the little flights and stupid airport connections that drive me insane!

sounds interesting but it reminds me of the movie Return To Me starring David Duchovny and Minnie Driver which I loved and cried while I watched. I don't want to read it but not if it's a copy of the movie, so can someone please let me know after you read it?

Mod
Why?"
Quirky things in the language that I'm noticing. Phrases that are used over and over again. Also I'm about 30% in and I still ..."
Yeah, if I feel no connection then I don't like the story

which is interesting. The characters in the book know that they are characters and one is super excited and..."Haven't started yet so you still can :D
Mod
Yep, longest I've ever done is 3 hours to NZ lol

Wow Ash.. I hated the 14 hours (I think that's about right with connections LOL!) that it took us to fly from Miami to Maui which was longer than our 9.5 hour flight from Miami to London. My most dreaded work trip is the one I have to do on a pretty consistent schedule from Miami/New York to Portland Oregon and that one's about 8 hours if there are no delays. It gets old after a while though I tell you.

I'm most definitely planning on reading it when it releases. Hopefully it won't get any terrible reviews LOL! If I get to it before you do I'll let you know how I like it :)

Will was just perfect in those books, and I feel it was a bit more grown up than TMI.

Just finished "When It Rains" by Lisa De Jong (my goodness. It's one heart wrenching book. Highly recommended! I am reading Shadow of Doubt by P.A. DePaul, good thing it can be read as a standalone. so far I'm liking it.
Last three books
All three were great
Man, I have to stop going on these threads. I've just added another five books to my TBR list...Currently reading

I have When It Rains sitting in my kindle and I'm really looking forward to getting to it Beatrice. I'm glad you liked it so much. Hopefully I can get to it soon. Why are there so many good books LOL!
Just finished
and it was ok. I was hoping for more, but perhaps after reading 2 amazing books in a row my expectations are higher?

is out already.YAY. I need to pick that one up.
Mod
!! I love this series by Kage (even though I just realized today that I missed the book right before this one--DOH!), and this might be my favorite so far. And that's saying a lot, because I've adored them all.

a metafiction romance with a very interesting premise. I liked it even though it took me a while to warm up to the story and characters…https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Cheers to our never ending TBR list!
It's really good and really emotional. If ever you are going to read it, have a box of tissues with you. :)

My biggest issue with TMI was Clary - my god if there is a more irritating heroine out there I dare you to find her! Fortunately Tessa doesn't seem as bad, and I'm definitely intrigued by Will
Mod
and really enjoyed it. Now going to start
with my buddies.
Ash wrote: "Teresa wrote: "Donna wrote: "Ash wrote: "Currently reading and I dunno...I'm finding it a bit up and down so far - I'm about halfway through and im finding some ..."Haha, yeah Clary was kind of irritating sometimes. Tessa is way better, I loved Will and Jem too. The first in the ID is good but its the weakest of the three, the next two just get better and better.
