Pick For Me challenge
Yeah Bev - like the Beatles - love the accent! Some of the other northern accents are a not so nice - the Leeds accent is quite odd - well it is to me! I used to go up there for work quite a lot
Geordie accent can be hard to understand - google Geordie Shore - our version of Jersey Shore!

I wish I kept track of awesome videos like I do books. There's this spectacular video highlighting the different dialects of different areas in England. And omfg it is hilarious!!! But, shoot, I haven't seen it in years. Can't for the life of me find it again.

This was hard for me actually... but, I had to do it! Night Owl, by M. Pierce
"Ooh Grey. Thankyou. This is one Maryse recced for me and I do want to read it. Sorry I'm late catching up today. I'm just back from my morning walk, and it's also confusing changeover day from daylight saving time so it's actually an hour earlier than it feels now.
Wow. All these comments to catch up on. And I'd better do my pick for ...... drumroll...... FABI! *rubs hands together with glee* This is gonna be fun!

Yankees say yes, southerners say no.
I can lay it on pretty thick if I want to though. It's the only accent I can actually do.

I love accents. I'm Californian born and bred, so there's no real accent except to say dude and like way too much. And overly emphasize words like sooo waaaay, annnnnd... lol (occasional valley girl syndrome) So any real accent just sounds so pretty to me.
I've definitely got an Australian accent. And I do tend to use a bit of Aussie slang and traditional sayings as well.OK. I've caught up on the discussion. Now, let's do this.
*goes to look at Fabi's Pick For Me list*
OK Fabi. You were pretty easy. I pick for you:The Last Girl by Joe Hart.
Intriguing dystopian sci-fi. I can't wait to hear what you think.

"..."
OK, once I finish the bearded one, oops I mean The Opposite of You, I'm gonna start Night Owl :)
I love listening to Charley Hunnam speak! SighI've been told I still have my Polish accent not sure if it sounds sexy or just weird? But it's strange because some notice it and others don't
Ha! I'm easy!!! *sticks tongue out to all the Marmy Death Club*Jan, thank you so much! I've been dying to read that one since Maryse mentioned it a few weeks ago. Downloaded it right away, but then came to an abrupt halt when I tried to fit it in to my reading schedule.
Yeah me! I'm so excited. Now it HAS to fit into April. Accountability is my friend.
No accent for me either. Well, no regional accent. I guess someone from another country would say I have a accent.
Yeah see that's the thing. Tessa and bev, you *think* you have no accents, but to me, you'd have a very clear accent. Just like to me I don't have an accent (but I know I clearly do have one to non-Aussies......)

I'm curious if you'll get sucked in and have to read the rest of the series?
Bahahahahahahha "bearded one"
I don't understand why everyone thinks he's so good looking. He has this long, pointy chin that's only made worse by all that hair over it.
Oh har har. We know he's all nice and non-pointy under there cos Ela shaved him. Remember.......???
He wouldn't be but SOA made him hot for me, I mean to me
Jan I think Fabi is talking about Charlie???
Seriously, I'm so jealous of Jan reading Night Owl. It was the first time IN MY LIFE that I've ever written to an author. Blown away. Simply blown away by that book.
Ela wrote: "Jan I think Fabi is talking about Charlie???"LMAO. I think you're right. I'm reading Killian at the moment and a bit hung up *coughs* on his beard.
Ela wrote: "He wouldn't be but SOA made him hot for me, I mean to me"That's what I figured. SOA made him hot. I never got into the show, so never into him either.
Fabi wrote: "Seriously, I'm so jealous of Jan reading Night Owl. It was the first time IN MY LIFE that I've ever written to an author. Blown away. Simply blown away by that book."OOh goody. Why haven't I read this before? jan asks rhetorically........
bev wrote: "Nay! Nay! NAY! I think I can give the book to more than one person! Do you want it. And its yours and i keep mine."Yes, bev! What do I need to do??
Jan--I FLOVED Night Owl too! I just didn't read the rest of them because I got upset about the greedy, greedy publishing house charging so much for the next book after we were sucked in...
Jan130 wrote: "jan asks rhetorically..."Oh shoot. And I had a whole dialogue prepared...
Kidding!
Renee, the first book was the best one - by far.
TESSA!!!! I got you!!So, from your list I've read
,
, and
(which of course would be MY pick), but knowing how much you love fantasy and PNR, I am going to go with...
Really? I don't know if I'll ever read the others. It's just that when my copy, which I'd planned to lend to a friend, was made 'unlendable' and I saw that the 2nd book that people were now dying to buy because they HAD to know what happened was $9.99 (at the time, I'm pretty sure that was the price--now it's $7.99, which isn't much better), it royally pissed me off!
What is this 'Feyness'?? This looks awesome! Added to my tbr!
Renee, imo, the first was great, the second was good, the third was not. :-/

Tessa--as I was investigating Feyness, I noticed that the 2nd book in that series, Parasight, came out today! In case you didn't know.
Really? I just think Charlie H. Is a good looking guy, SOA or no. Great smile.
Nay, I need an email ti send it to. You can message it to me through gr if you are ok with that.
Jan, lol. I love regional American accents, but cant help but feel others would find regular west coast ones very bland. I wonder if one visits a foreign country then goes home if they can hear the "accent"?

Will send in just a minute, bev.Well, I have a down-home, hick Tennessee accent. There's no two ways about it. When I went to college in Kentucky they bugged me about it. And everyone in the U.S. has some sort of accent to me.
I also love British and Aussie accents, and I would move to Australia in a heartbeat if I could afford it--I'm obsessed with everything Aussie, especially the cooking shows!

Hey.....and Me?

Wait...are we supposed to send it by PM?
No, you're good Amy. They're talking about a book loan. You know we can't ever stay on topic on any thread. ;-)
Amy--if you're talking about what I wrote, bev is sending me a link to lend an ebook.Ela--E.S. Carter
So, uh... Amy... You got a book for me? *starts rocking on her feet, trying to look innocent*
