Who's in for a buddy read??? The Darkest Sunrise (The Darkest Sunrise #1) by Aly Martinez since book 2 is coming out?

[Grey]

I would, but I'm still on book buy lockdown... *side-eyes bev*

[[deleted user]]

Yes, me too. Though just came out of the public library.
It is oddly frustrating and nice at the same time to not buy.
I am overburdened with choices but the new Andrews book just came out.
If you want to wait and start on the first, Ela?

[Ela]

Sadly, I started already and boy am I IN as in I.N.

[Grey]

I'm grumbling... they are crawling out of the woodwork again. Shit, I need a nap.

[Melinda]

Ela, with the time difference and I'm at work. I'm def in for the buddy read. I loved that first book.

Perfect! I already started book 2!

[Leslie]

Tasha, Dirty English was decent, just not fantastic for me. I can't remember the details though.

I am sure I have read some decent mafia reads, but will have to research. The one that immediately pops in my head that I loved was . The H is a russian mobster/assassin.

[Ela]

One of my favorite mafia series is The Devil's Eyes by Jennifer Loren. I know there's another series I highly would recommend but I'll have to search for it. In the meantime:

[Ela]

Also, Kresley Cole's The Professional!

[Leslie]

Tasha, I don't think you have read these:

[JudyCa]

This is a mafia series I absolutely loved...

[Grey]

I loved Lev... I haven't read the rest of these. I'm in a total funk... so I need a new rec. What are the odds of getting Fabi to do our Pick for Me early?? LOL!

You really should read 'Redemption' but only because imo 'Made' was my fav of the 3...and I think you should read them in order ;)

Sparrow by Shen, L.J.

[[deleted user]]

Yeah Grey, when does this end again??? Lol.
Actually havent read much in the last 2 days or so. And sometimes I do this weird thing or when I'm not reading that much I start buying more. So if I didn't have this no Buy in place I would have bought like 20 books in the last 2 days.

[Grey]

I'm on the book buying restriction with bev... LOL. It ends on Tuesday. I am pretty sure I have Sparrow.... I am sort of reading one right now... but I'm not into it. I need to be in it...LOL. I need a bully, is Sparrow a bully? no, never mind, don't tell me. I hate to be spoiled.

Oh God, LOL, most?!?

There is a Nora Roberts one i love. It takes place in Ireland childhood friends. He works as a cook at the family pub and is musical. Handsome and a dreamer. She is very pratical and is partners with her father in his business. They do carpentry and stuff. Anyway he had a broken nose as a child caused by her during a game of baseball. It is sweet cause it is like a story the whole town knows. Mmm, i liked that one.

[Grey]

I read that one, bev... I loved that one too.

[Jan]

Grey wrote: "I read that one, bev... I loved that one too."

I read and liked that Nora Roberts one too. I think there was a series and I read them all.

Tasha, mafia? I liked Susan Fanetti's Pagano family books, although some weren't as good as others. My fav was probably Deep but I also liked Rooted Yeah I know, terrible title LOL. Or isn't that rude in US? In Oz it's a euphemism for, yeah well, nuff said.

I also liked the Cora Reilly series (except the latest one which was a shocker). The others were all pretty good. I see the first one Bound by Honor is free on kindle australia at the moment.

I also quite liked Sarah Brianne's Nero but it's kinda mafia for juniors LOL. Kinda YA except it's not. Some of the characters are in school, I think. There's others in the series but they're still on my tbr.

[Leslie]

Have we heard from Nay lately?? Wondering how things are going with her mom's diagnosis.

[Anna]

Tasha wrote: "Hey can someone recommend a good mafia book?"
You have probably already picked one but just in case.
My favorite mafia series is Eagle Elite by Rachel van Dyken. The first book is

[[deleted user]]

Jan,......rooted? Really? Lol. No euphemisms here.

[Jan]

Um yeah, Coarse Aussie way of saying f@@@ed, both as the physical act, or as in 'wrecked'. So, not the greatest book title evah.

[Ela]

Oooooo what's the title of the Nora book?

[Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications]

Hey Grey, I was just thinking...should we add the books that have been BR to our group bookshelf?

[Tessa]

Lol I saw Rooted and just thought someone who is firmly ensconced in his home and life.

[Jan]

Ela wrote: "Oooooo what's the title of the Nora book?"

I think it is Tears of the Moon . One of the Irish trilogy, anyway. I read and liked them all (a while ago) but get a bit mixed up which was which. There is a touch of the pnr in them which I really dislike in some of Nora's books but didn't mind in these ones. It wasn't a big element, from memory.

LOL. I think that's the author's intention with the title, but we crass types here in Australia have to have a bit of a giggle.

Jan, I must be one of the crass Australian types as I really did giggle. Just the slang in Australia. Haha

[Leslie]

Hey, how about you Aussie's teach us American's some more of your dirty words?!? 😘😆😁

I've been reading a lot lately where he 'rutted' or they're 'rutting' 😏😆😂❤️❤️

What's up with that word? It makes me think beadtiality, not sexy stuff!

[Ela]

You mean beastiality Tessa?

Leslie wrote: "Hey, how about you Aussie's teach us American's some more of your dirty words?!? 😘😆😁"

Haha Leslie. Probably a lot of ours are the same as yours. But when I was a teen, I was asked the classic question a few times: "Wanna root?" And, yeah, that's what it means....... And no, I didn't take up those finely expressed offers.

There used to be some funny rhyming slang (probably from the cockney convicts). My dad used to call a meat pie (a popular snack over here) a 'dog's eye'. (I know). Tomato sauce that went with the pie could be referred to as 'dead horse' (rhymes with sauce. See?)

Funny euphemisms:
Meat and 2 veg (think about it.....) or 'family jewels'
popped their clogs (means 'died' - so sensitive!)
bun in the oven - pregnant

The current generation aren't using Aussie slang as much these days. As we become a global village, the uniqueness of the slang is dying out. Oh well. That's the way the world turns.

Ela, lately in my HR madness I've read a few times that he 'mounted' her, or 'mounted a mistress'. Sounds like a rutting stallion haha.

Alright, I have to ask. What rhymes with sauce?

[Robin]

Moss, boss, vagina floss...

[Leslie]

Vagina floss??? Robin, are you drinking?

[Robin]

Well I'm writing, so...

[Robin]

Lol actually I'm not writing right now. I'm cleaning the patio. Horrible job. 😕

[Robin]

WITH my newly sprained wrist! I'm a boss.

[Jan]

Oh. Oops. Hahaha. In Australia, 'sauce' rhymes with 'horse'. (We also have a non-rhotic 'R' which means we don't pronounce the 'r' in 'horse'). Lots of US accents have a rhotic 'r'. No, not 'erotic r' LOL. Get your mind out of the gutter. It means you sound the r in words like 'horse', but we don't over here.

Vagina floss *chokes* In a recent HR I was reading, the h's pubic hair was referred to as 'maiden hair'. I couldn't decide whether that was sweet or icky.

So, hoss. Like bonanza.
