Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Ah, ok, Renee, I get it. I've had to do that too when it's been too long between books in a series.

She's gonna scare the poor girl with an eggplant! Vaginas have no resemblance to a peach, no matter how hard some authors try!

Bev, what's this book? I think I'd like to read it.

Leslie | 2430 comments You guys!!! My husband is about to admit me to looney bin for laughing so hysterically!!! I'm having an "I love us" day too.

I'm a very big re-reader. I love revisiting my old faves. I do it when I can't figure out what to read next or if I'm in a slump.

Ela | 4291 comments I LURVE US TOO!

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments An eggplant??? I'd run the other way.

Lol. As the heroine says she is innocent not ignorant.

Do You Want To Start a Scandal by Tessa Dare.

Sweet tea?!? LOL!!!!!!

I have never understood how the guys say in books that the girl tastes sweet. Um, that seems kinda impossible if he is being literal...

Robin Hill (robinhill) | 1528 comments Michelle, when I did those contests for my book to get the "free" feedback, the NUMBER 1 thing I was asked was "what does it smell like" or "what does it taste like?" If I just said "good" I got points deducted. And I did a lot of those! It's probably publishing houses pushing that for whatever reason! I just read a scene I did the other day where I described in obsessive detail the taste of wine and a steak and oh lawd. I think I changed it back to "good!"

Does that mean I can't mention how my eyes bugged out of my head when a book described a guy's johnson (I don't think it was the H's) as "red and angry?..."

Jean | 1658 comments Just catching up on all your comments! LMAO! I love you guys!

Leslue! Leslie! I devoured Stepbrother Dearest! Read it in less than 24 hours! I LOVED IT! Thank you!


message 569: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments Red/angry penis and sweet tea flavored vags??? What are these romance authors thinking??? *face palm*


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Exactly Leslie! It sounds much more like science fiction than romance to me.

Robin Hill (robinhill) | 1528 comments Did you guys decide on SoT BR? I can't find a thread. When is it starting?


message 572: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments What's SoT???


message 573: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments My favorite reference to scent is "clean smelling". There ya' go. That's all I need!


message 574: by [deleted user] (new)

See, MichelleS. Audio just says it right out. No confusing acronyms.


message 579: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments Robin, I need to finish my current read and then I'm ready to go. I could start tomorrow night. I think Anna & Nay are ready to start tomorrow. I can make a thread.


message 580: by Robin (new)

Robin Hill (robinhill) | 1528 comments OK! I may start tonight because I'm slower than all of you. I need some first person/present and I was shocked it is, so perfect timing!


message 581: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments Jean, I'm thrilled you loved Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward

(view spoiler)


message 582: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments Dang it! I read SoT years ago!


message 583: by Ela (new)

YES! I really loved it! Have you read Neighbor Dearest??? It's about Chelsea, which I was really surprised about!


message 586: by Jean (new)

Jean | 1658 comments I seriously can't believe Fabi hasn't read Sea of Tranquility yet. That will forever be a favorite of mine, unforgettable!

Jean, sorry to say I disliked Neighbor Dearest...it was dnf for me!!

I'm always left scratching my head when I LOVE one book by an author than hate another. I know you can't love them ALL, but to go from 5 stars to dnf is extreme. Esp because I loved RoomHate by Penelope Ward as well.

I also really enjoyed Stepbrother Dearest (I'm a big fan of anything forbidden), but besides that, I think Penelope Ward's writing is a little too 'young' for me or something. I'm pretty sure I read Gemini and Jake Undone and thought they were 'meh', and then I started Sins of Sevin but never finished it (I guess that would qualify as a DNF??) That's another group of books I need to mark 'read' and put a rating on. I'll get to all of them eventually--I'm just trying to do a few here and a few there so I don't bombard everyone's update feeds.

Grey | 2385 comments Mod
I haven't read SoT either... LOL.


message 592: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments Nay, who are you kidding? You bombard the feed with all your TBRs!!!!!! *grins*

Just teasing...I love seeing all my friends adding to shelves, rating, etc.

Bombard away my friend...that's what this place is for.


message 593: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) OMG, Leslie--if i rated all the books that are sitting in my tbr that I've already read, it would be chaos! There are probably 200 of them because I went for about a year without marking the stuff I'd read on GR. That's why I just mark one here and one there.

Now as far as putting books on my tbr, you're right--I take no prisoners! lol One thing I have started doing though is when I find a new series, I'll maybe put the first one or two only on my tbr so that I can read them and then decide if I like the series and want to add the rest later--I'm trying to do that.

**I also love to see what my friends add to their shelves!

message 596: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments GR moved a bunch of my TBRs to "read", so if you see a bunch of posts from me, I'm trying to fix it. It's the ones I chose for my Pick For Me shelf! I guess it thinks I've now read them! Ugh ugh ugh
