Yep, same here, and work was busy as hell for me too, so I had to use my lunch break to write something short. Yes, Christelle, it short! LOL.
I hate the first day at work!!!! LOL. It's so hard getting into it. :( Hope today will be better for you, Josy! <3

on Friday, but Thursday is a holiday for me, so I hope I get the last reading done then. :)Ugh, enjoy doing laundry and writing reviews, then. :(

I'm waiting (im)patiently until you can take some pictures, lol! I'd really love to see them if you want to share and I'm happy that you are satisfied with your progress so far :)
How did you like
? I'm a bit hesitant to read this one because I'm afraid the author will mess with Kelly and Blue although I was wishing for a bit more by the end of book 1.Good luck with your reviews, laundry, and whatever else needs to be done :)

Thanks :)
Yes, the first day back at work is always crazy busy no matter how long I've been away. Let's keep our fingers crossed that today will be more relaxed and I hope your day will be calm as well. Thankfully, tomorrow is a public holiday so it's just a short week for me to get through :)

Yeah, seems like it's not the crazy Circus it was yesterday, but I don't want to jinx it. LOL. I have to wait for Thursday to get my holiday *lol*, but I'm so looking forward to it. :)

Can you take Friday off to have a long weekend?

True! LOL. But I don't think so and I might need to take November 16th off for the annual Dog&Horse Show in Dortmund. :)

Maybe we have to go on Saturday, but if my friend gets the day off too, we rather want to go on Friday. :)

Yes, 2 p.m. for me so we'll start then.

Oh my god!!! I want to go too...seriously dogs and horses? Does it get any better?

I'm biased but I think my truck is totes adorable and I'm so pleased with it. I have another camera around here somewhere and I'm pretty sure it uses sim cards so I can transfer the pics to my computer I just need to find it.
I liked 'A Deeper Blue' but I do have to admit at times I found it to be a little bit slow but it never got close to the point of me wanting to give up and I thought there was more good than bad to be honest plus the ending was good...definitely worthwhile. I'm procrastinating between 3.5 rounded up or just a straight out 4 stars. I'll figure it out by the time I get the review done.

I try to go every year. :) Dogs take on the bigger part of the show, but they combine some shows, so there are demonstrations with horses and dogs and that's awesome! :) And you can buy things. All the things. LOL.

I like him and I thought he did a fine job on the first book.

(I don't know his full name right now) was really good, too. I thought they both did a really good job with this book.
By the way, I've heard that Dreamspinner no longer uses Sean Crisden because they consider him too expensive :/

Hahaha! Yeah, it was cute! LOL. Maybe this will help you remember... You might have to fast-forward a bit. :)

It's Alexander Cendese. He's the guy who narrates the All for the Game series. :)

Well damn that sucks because I liked both of them as well. I'm pretty sure that Alexander Cendese was the voice of Kelly and Sean Crisden was Blue not sure who did what on any other voices, but I would have really liked it if they were both doing the next book.
Simone wrote: "Hahaha! Yeah, it was cute! LOL. Maybe this will help you remember... You might have to fast-forward a bit. :)..."Ah yes! I remember now :)
Simone wrote: "It's Alexander Cendese. He's the guy who narrates the All for the Game series. :) .."Yes, I know :) I just couldn't remember how his name is spelled and I was on my phone and too lazy to look it up, lol!
edit: Speaking of the All for the Game series. My calendar told me that the second book was supposed to come out today. But I haven't checked yet.

The first book came out just a few months ago and I don't know how current the information is.
It would really suck if they changed the voice(s) now. Maybe they consider him affordable when he's only narrating half of the book?? We should petition to Andrew Grey, lol! I think he's in charge of Dreamspinner's audiobook production.

I tend to miss so much stuff on the internet unless I get smacked in the face with it or one of my friends mentions it...thank heavens for friends! I'll leave petitioning Mr. Grey up to you because you've met him right? So maybe you're voice would be more influential ;)

I could have asked him then :)
I think (view spoiler)
That's unfortunate I know he narrated all but one of the books from BO&tK and honestly I really like listening to him...oh, well I guess it is what it is. He's still doing things for other companies, like Carina Press and who knows DSP may change their mind about things. But in the meantime, I have a lot of his backlist on audio to fill the void.
Karen wrote: "That's unfortunate I know he narrated all but one of the books from BO&tK and honestly I really like listening to him...oh, well I guess it is what it is.

Let's keep our fingers crossed because I really like him as well!

Why? *whines* I hate that...

Charlie David did book 2 and he was ok, but for me the Sean Crisden books were far more enjoyable.

But Greg was the one who sidetracked me, so I have a good excuse. ;-)

I'm getting ready for bed now and try to sleep at least a little bit. Now it's our turn for a storm here and my windows and shutters are creaking and rattling. LOL. I think this is going to be fun. Not. *grrr*Josy, sleep well and sweet dreams and Karen, have a nice afternoon. :) Big hugs to both of you! <3

Yeah, I didn' like it either but I remember getting used to him pretty quickly. Sean Crisden was better but I didn't regret listening to the second book :)
It's going to be your first time with this series, right? Hope you'll love it :)

Yesterday it was freezing, today it was 15 degrees Celsius and sunny, and all of the sudden it starts raining and storming :/
Sleep well and sweet dreams :)

Yep, my very first time. LOL. But I think I'll listen to
first, since I'm still somewhat in the area of Roseland. LOL.
Ohhhhh!!!!!! Just remember to keep tissues, your cat, chocolate, and maybe alcohol at the ready, lol! This damn book broke me! But I still loved it so damn hard :)

I'd venture to say that half or more of what he does isn't M/M.
I thought about listening to
but I decided I needed something a little cheerier. So Mary Calmes and 'Timing' here I come because guess what it's narrated by Sean Crisden and as I recall the first 2 books...especially the first book...ladies he's not so great and by the time I get to the third book it's like I got a whole different narrator but honestly in the first book he just gives me the giggle...the schoolgirl giggles.Ok, sweet dreams and Simone, hopefully that storm will pass through quickly. *hugs to all*
Karen wrote: "He's actually got a lot of audio books that are more mainstream to his credit. I'd venture to say that half or more of what he does isn't M/M..."Yes! I haven't listened to books in other genres but I've seen them at Audible.
