Ela | 4291 comments “Penises!

Sweet Jesus.

Penises everywhere.

Horror slams into me as I register what I'm seeing. Oh God. I've stumbled onto a penis convention. Big penises and small penises and fat penises and penis-shaped penises. It doesn't matter which direction I move my head because everywhere I look I see penises.”
― Elle Kennedy, The Deal

Ela | 4291 comments bahahajahhahahahahahahhaha: penis-shaped penises


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments I agree Paula. I've read a few of those, but The Deal was the best one of the ones I read.

Paula White | 800 comments Blooming brilliant!

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments That scene sounds so familiar. Either I read that book & forgot, or maybe you guys quoted it on the blog? Need to go research now.


message 157: by Michelle (new)

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments OMG! I purchased it March 2015! I have Alzheimer's, I swear! Okay, knock that one off the list.

Michelle (michellesantiago) | 299 comments Oh boo. It was THE GOAL I didn't read. I'm an idiot. Just ignore me.

So do I!

Jean | 1658 comments And I haven't read Red Queen yet either!


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Jean, are you planning on making a shelf too?

I tear up during the National Anthem. I have to change the channel when the Sarah MacLachlan animal commercials are on.

I once cried so hard about the death of a fictional character my college roomie thought someone in my family died. She was not a reader and wondered what was wrong with me.

Wow, that's a hell of a goal. I'm just trying to keep mine under 1500..."

I've been deleting freebies from my Kindle Cloud if I know I'm never going to read them. Having so many freebies makes it hard to find something I want to read if I'm randomly scrolling through my books.

I haven't read Red Queen or The Goal. With Red Queen I was waiting until the series was complete. Is the series complete yet?

The train. The train in london. So glamorous, Paula.


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Thanks Jean. I'll add it to the list tomorrow when I get back on my laptop.


message 169: by Jan (new)

Jan (jan130) I'm flunking my current challenge too..... boo hoo......

I just can't make my finger click on the March TBR challenge book I'm SUPPOSED to be reading (Thoughtless.... I know, I know, Kellan's so hot and everything......)

But my finger just won't do it! Blame the fickle finger for my lack of self-discipline.

*eagerly turns back to The Opposite Of You*


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Glad you can join Tasha. :-). And even if we run it monthly, you can join as many or as few months as you like.

I'll have to read Red Queen soon now that the series is complete.


message 172: by Amy (new)

Amy (amy_nm) | 140 comments Okay, here it is.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

It's 27 books but gimme a break! I have over 2800 in my library!!!


message 173: by Amy (new)

Amy (amy_nm) | 140 comments I'm sorry in advance to whomever gets stuck with me. *snort*


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments That's good Amy. That's a good amount. The 20ish suggestion is to avoid those monster tbr lists some of us have.


message 175: by Tessa (new)

Tessa | 1761 comments Pfft, Amy I'd either have you read Consequences or Ten Tiny Breaths. Both good for totally opposite reasons.


message 176: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) Your shelf look great, Amy! Perfect size. Mine has 25, I think.


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments List updated through this post.

I thought I saw Tasha add her list. But now I don't see it. Anyone else see it?


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Robin, I could be wrong. I noticed it the other day but really thought I was wrong. You seem to have 5 on your list that you've already read and rated. Do you mean them to be re-reads?

Last comment I saw on this thread was that she was off to make her list yesterday afternoon!


message 180: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) I saw that she had a shelf with 2 books on it when I was looking through her books last night for my read from her 5-stars, but I don't remember seeing it here.


message 181: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) I just checked and it's still there--she must be working on it.


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Thanks guys. I appreciate you looking.

Fabi I don't see this. What books? I haven't read any of mine.


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments I just looked again and *poof* they're not there. Please ignore me, my craycray is showing.

Leslie | 2430 comments Fabi, we're all friends here. Its alright to let your cray cray hang out. ;)

Cant wait to start this fun challenge.


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments lol thanks Leslie. I'm excited about it too. Especially since we know each other so well.


message 187: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Aiello (lisaaiello) | 2460 comments Is it April 1 yet? I'm super excited about this!!!


message 188: by Leslie (new)

Leslie | 2430 comments *subtly nudges Fabi to hurry up *


message 189: by Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications (last edited Mar 31, 2017 11:16AM) (new)

Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments LOL girls!!! I'm excited about this too! It's super cool cause we're all friends and know each other's reading tastes. I still haven't decided if I'm going to pick a book I think my PICKEE would love or a book I want my PICKEE to read.

Everybody's lists look like samples of my tbr!

I don't suppose anyone else is going to sign up.

I'll start drawing names tonight and post them no later than tomorrow.

Then, maybe a few days to give everyone a chance to pick and post their picks.

Then, it's reading time!


message 190: by Ela (new)

Ela | 4291 comments Fabi, are the pickees for the remainder of the year or do they revolve, and it's once a month??? can we do twice???? I can help if you need a picker to pick pickees.... totally not confusing

Anyone else?


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments Once a month we change pickers for pickees! Fun right?

Can we do twice? <--- LOL!!! You just want to pick everyone's next read.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm just going to use a randomizer and there's not that many of us anyways so even an old fashioned hat draw would work fine.


message 192: by Ela (last edited Mar 31, 2017 11:33AM) (new)

Ela | 4291 comments Ok! But I thought it was pickees for pickers??? Oh never mind!

So one book per month???


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments nah, it's pickers for pickees

Yeah, one book a month unless I get outvoted. After all, this IS a democracy. ;-)


message 194: by Ela (new)

Ela | 4291 comments It is??? I sensed some dictatorship ;)

Lisa Aiello (lisaaiello) | 2460 comments hehehehehe...Ela said dick tater!!


Fabi NEEDS Email Notifications | 872 comments nope, no dick taters around here...It's everyone's call and I'm just along for the ride


message 197: by Nay (new)

Nay (4ukcats) I can't wait!! One book per month is great with me!!


message 198: by Lisa (new)

Lisa Aiello (lisaaiello) | 2460 comments I'm in for one a month too. Still have the monthly challenge, the Pick Me Challenge, the 5 Star Buddy challenge, and the emergency OMG we need to buddy read this right now books that will undoubtedly come up.
