I know, pluss even though Armenian pronunciation is different, we pronounce my name back in Armenian like Russians do, instead of Edit'a (*the t' is in the middle of d and t,) we say Edzit'a, s that's why it's not weird for us. but yea here people struggle with it, meanwhile in Europe it's another version of edith, so they are ok

I got burnt out on it I think. It was somewhere around 50 Shades. lol.

The physical freebies. I have never gotten a physical freebie before.

That would be even harder. I might just call you Edit instead. lol.

I'm pretty sure anyone with Kindle gets them free. I know people in England do. You just go to Amazon and search free books under Kindle. Plus I have Kindle Unlimited so I get more books "free" that way. It's 9.99/month.

I love your name Ashley! It's sounds young ( I know weird but true) I feel like everyone who is named Ashley is a teenager or in their twenties lol

Oh sorry. I misunderstood. I don't get physical copies for free. The library is free to use but we can't keep them.

I don't have the kindle app as yet. I'm considering caving. It seems seems excessive since I already have a kobo. If I could put them on my kobo I would 100% do it.

31. But yeah, most people are pretty young although it was a name from Gone with the Wind.

NP. I have never gotten a free physical book either. I know one other person who gets them. But she's like a book blogger or something.

I like the story a lot. I skimmed over the sex stuff. That was over-rated. I read it more for Christian's character development.

It was okay. It was te very same story from his point of view so I already knew what was going to happen. After I read the transformation from her POV, I knew where it was going and there wasn't much left to learn even if it was him telling the story.

Meh. It was what I expected. It says right there on the jacket that's what it was about. At least I didn't pay for it.

Since I have super strong and stubborn personality, I want someone stronger next to me, not to overpower me, but because I an artist, I am everywhere and nowhere so i need someone who can ground me. That's why I am mostly attracted to older people, like 3-5 or more years older, people who are my age or just 1-2 years older are not mature enough for me lol and the older ones are usually possessive but yeah of course to some point not the creepy jealous types :D

I think what bothered me was when Edward was taking parts out of her car so she couldn't see Jacob and things like that. That would bother me. But that could also be because I'm super independent. My husband is too so it works out.

Yeah I know what you mean. From my personal experience, I can say that at first it seems fun, you're like ohh it's cute they care blah blah blah but then after one two times i go crazy, cause i have an independent strong personality as well. which many guys don't like.

Hi Lara, have to say that that's the first time I've heard of a flipback! By the looks of it though it would have an inflated page count because its printed on smaller page, so I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to accept it ☹
