Vicci Audio Nerd & Ezinwanyi - Left Drowning

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

What does it take to rise from life’s depths, swim against the current, and breathe?

Weighted down by the loss of her parents, Blythe McGuire struggles to keep her head above water as she trudges through her last year at Matthews College. Then a chance meeting sends Blythe crashing into something she doesn’t expect—an undeniable attraction to a dark-haired senior named Chris Shepherd, whose past may be even more complicated than her own. As their relationship deepens, Chris pulls Blythe out of the stupor she’s been in since the night a fire took half her family. She begins to heal, and even, haltingly, to love this guy who helps her find new paths to pleasure and self-discovery. But as Blythe moves into calmer waters, she realizes Chris is the one still strangled by his family’s traumatic history. As dark currents threaten to pull him under, Blythe may be the only person who can keep him from drowning.

*This book is intended for mature audiences due to strong language and sexual content.

I will start today maybe when I go to the gym (in about 2 hours). I have been watching True Blood marathon on tv so I haven't been reading at home at all

[VNerdbooks]

Loved the 1st season of that not so much the others

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Vicci Audio Nerd wrote: "Loved the 1st season of that not so much the others"

I don't know if I am loving it but I am on episode 9. the blood and stuff is too gory.

Plus Eric is smoother and sexier in the books, even though Bill is still my favorite.

Pam isn't what I pictured and Jason is just a simpleton WHORE. Tera is stronger than the book Tera, even though I like this version better.
I will try and at least get through season 2 this weekend.

[VNerdbooks]

Haven't read the book so can't compare but the 1st season was great.
2nd season didn't seem to have a storyline for me it was just random sex scenes, which is not a bad thing, but with no storyline it was just mehhh

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I enjoyed the books.

[VNerdbooks]

ok i fell asleep last night finishing Lick so had to finish it this morning, loved it btw.
So will start this one today x

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I haven't started, I was watching a True blood. I'm on Episode 10. I have 2 more to go but today is my youngest birthday. He turns 3, and his party is tomorrow.
Today, we make gift bags to give people who come to his party.
I may listen a little but:D

[VNerdbooks]

Ah have a lovely day, shall we leave it till tomorrow then?
I'm fine to start something else, I've downloaded Outlander to read and it's MASSIVE lol I may try to start that.

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I'm doing Outlander in July since the show starts August 5th. I have the audiobook but I found it slow and I stopped 18 hour into it. I bought the ebook, and will alternate

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I'll get maybe 2 hours today when I clean up when the kids go to bed, but I'm sure I won't get far

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I'm so behind in this months reading plan:(

[VNerdbooks]

i know me too, I think I've only read 5 or 6 this mth.
The last one was 17hrs tho so that took a long time to read, it was worth it tho!

[VNerdbooks]

They've made a show of it??

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Vicci Audio Nerd wrote: "They've made a show of it??"

Yep. It will aire on Starz Channel starting this August. It looks good. I liked Bitten, the show based on Kelley Armstrong's Bitten on Syfy channel.

[VNerdbooks]

Hmm will look out for that, I don't think we have Starz here tho.

[VNerdbooks]

Sooo anyway I started
Okay so I have read up to chapter 5.

(view spoiler)[
I like Blythe (love the name as well) she is very self deprecating about herself though, it's like she is not good enough, not pretty enough, doesn't have the best figure etc.

Loving Chris so far he hasn't asked her any uncomfortable questions about her parents, and is just waiting for her to tell him about it.

Also loving the brothers and sisters, Sabin is really funny. (hide spoiler)]

I'll wait for you to catch up now lol

[VNerdbooks]

I won't read any more now lol

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I'm now on Chapter 5. It's okay, not bad but not great. I like that Blythe is channeling her energy into running/jogging, rather than drinking or self hate speeches.

I like Chris, and his siblings. Sabin and his "knight" speech was hilarious. I would like to know about the death that wrecked everyone.

I kept thinking at least Her aunt lily didn't hate her like the Breathing Series we read...indifference beats cruel and inhumane treatment anyday

[VNerdbooks]

I know I was thinking that, I'm loving the sibling love

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

Ok. I am on chapter 17, her brother made a huge confession

(view spoiler)[ he faked his soccer injury or at least made it seem like he couldn't play anymore continuing the "Blame Blythe" game.

She took it well, but that sucked! (hide spoiler)]

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I am tad sick of blythe trying to act like she isn't completely in love with Chris. This dance of theirs has gone on so long that it isn't enjoyable anymore

[VNerdbooks]

Lol I've just gotten past the confession bit so we must be up to around the same bit.

At the moment they have met in the hotel and they are getting Jiggy with it lol

[VNerdbooks]

And yes, I wish she would just admit it.
Also I have a theory that
(view spoiler)[ Chris is the boy in story, he mentioned earlier on at the beginning that he saw the college emblem on a shirt once, I think it was when Blythe gave it to him when they were small??
So maybe her mystery man is Chris's father?? (hide spoiler)]
But I could be completely wrong as well!!

[VNerdbooks]

And how come Chris is such a sex god at 21!!
All this virgin multiple orgasms ........really lol.

well Sabin did hint that chris got around. He has a commitment phobia, but he was never lacking in companionship :D

[Ezi, Factory Superintendent]

I am on chapter 17/18 (view spoiler)[ where she is losing her virginity to Chris.

I just need to suspend belief right now as I am rolling my eyes. Blythe is so full of shit--it doesn't hurt, she says she doesn't want a commitment but she is so crazy about that dude.

I don't understand why this book is so long because not much as really happened considering I have listened to over 7 hours.

Her first time and she thinks Chris is a Sex god...am i rolling my eyes! (hide spoiler)]
