I'm not sure what your question refers to and if it was for me or Mshj. I'm thinking you're referring to my comment about the findings in modern labs about lemons. Apparently in laboratory studies lemon juice killed the HIV virus.

Well that is interesting. I was directed toward your Google search. I wonder how you'd use it though. The half a lemon up the hoo-hoo is a little extreme but even a lemon douche sounds awful. I wonder what they recommend?

[Robin]

I posted the link to the Google Search so you could read whichever articles interested you (Historical and Contemporary). I don't recall them recommending any method as far the lab findings it just talked about what happened to the virus in a petri dish when they put lemon juice on it its possible effectiveness as a contraceptive against it. What would be nice is if there was a way to inject someones system with lemon juice similar to what they did in the lab and have it do the same thing.

Added August 23rd I thought I'd posted the link but just discovered I didn't sorry, my bad.

It likely wouldn't be any worse than using distilled vinegar. The acidity would work as weak bactericide, but I'm not sure I would trust it for protection against HIV.

What a topic!

Loved Bound by Your Touch. Emma was a school read that I HATED but now I'm a convert!

[E.]

Finished . Began reading and tomorrow I'll be perusing , which will be a stop-n-read-every-now-n-then book for me.

[D.G.]

Oh I loved Emma. I just read it for the first time during my trip to England (I've been saving it because it was the only Austen book I haven't read.)

I liked Bound by Your Touch but I'm not sure I could connect with the characters...I don't know why because the plot was pretty good. Maybe it was the overflow of historicals. ;)

[Kelly]

Hate the cover! But boy it is off to a great start!

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Oooh, I can't wait to hear what you think, Kelly!

How are you liking it?

[Megan]

It is really good so far. I just started it tonight and am only 75 pages into it. I haven't read a book with this type of storyline before, which is nice. Someone in this group was reading it a week or two ago and it sounded so good, I had to pick it up! ;)

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Be sure and keep us posted!

Emma is my fave because it has a special place in my memories. My Senior Research Paper (High School) was done on her and her matchmaking. Emma was also my first Jane Austen.

Not sure what you mean by "overflow of historicals" but even though Historical Romance is my fave genre I find I have to read a Contemporary Romance and sometimes another genre.

Carol, I hope you like it as much as I did :)

[Katherine]

Yes Carol let us know what you think.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I have just finished the Travis trilogy, I think she she do more, I want a book on Joe.

But, alas I must move on and am going to start

I guess I didn't finish that sentence...I meant to say 'the overflow of historicals I read prior to my visit to England.' I just wanted to get in the mood before my trip but whenever I read too many books of the same genre, I become very unforgiving with the characters. :)

[Mandy]

Picked this up from the Swap shelf at the library. Pretty good so far. Not digging the author's attempt at Texas twang though. I prefer the insinuation of a drawl, rather than the attempt. Makes the hero, and the author, sound slightly less intelligent than normal folk.

GR doesn't have it listed . . .

Open Invitation? by Karen Kendall. It's an old Harlequin Blaze. From 2007, I think?

[Robin]

Mandy, I hope you don't mind I looked up the author to see what she's written and found the book. Open Invitation?

[Mandy]

Robin wrote: "Mandy, I hope you don't mind I looked up the author to see what she's written and found the book. Open Invitation?"

Thanks Robin!

I wasn't very pleased with it. I don't like for an author to try and mimick a twang, drawl, burr, etc. I like to try and hear it myself. And in this one . . .everytime the guy walked in a door she has him shouting "Haaaaaaa" which I assumed was meant as "Hey". For the first half of the book, I wondered why he'd walk in a door and say "Hahhhh" (which is how I read it) there was no indication of a long A sound in the author's presentation.

Anyway . . .Glad I found it on the swap shelf and didn't actually pay for it.

[Carolyn F.]

I finished and am now reading .

[D.G.]

LOL, Mandy...I would have thought that 'Haaaaaaa' was 'Hi.'

[Mandy]

D.G. wrote: "LOL, Mandy...I would have thought that 'Haaaaaaa' was 'Hi.'"

LOL! In the South, nobody says "Hi". It's "Hey", as in "Hey is for horses". LOL!

There were funny parts of the book though and then there was some of it that was just rediculous. She used a phrase in there relating to oral sex that I absolutely loathe and that irritated me too! LOL!

I guess, the whole book was just an irritant. If it had been any longer it would have been a DNF.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I am reading , which is amazing and got in the post today !

Mandy, You're welcome

If the Haaaa was followed by a Ya'll I think it would have been easier. Dialects and drawls can be tough to figure out. In Huckleberry Finn Jim spends like a page and a half taken about chile. I did not read it as child I read it as chili. Needless to say when I got to the end of his monologue it said something about not only chile but chillin. It was then it dawned on me it should have been child and I had to go back and reread the section.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

LOL, that must have read as a very strange monologue!

Yeah, if she had thrown a "y'all" right after it I could have TOTALLY gotten it the very first time. Instead of at the end fo the book. lOL!!

She shouldve done her research! Lol

[D.G.]

Authors that don't their research are one of my biggest pet peeves! It happens so much in Historical Romance, specially with the titles...

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Has anyone else read ?

[Robin]

Mandy - I agree. Where is the author from?

Suzanne - I have but haven't read it yet and the rest of the Naked Nobility Series is on my Definite Buy Shelf

currently reading . I was having man-in-kilt withdrawal. Next will be which I can't wait to start. My to-read list is never going to shrink because of all these wondeful books you girls keep talking about! oh well, I'll just keep reading, lol

[Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie*]

I am reading and freebie download.

[Robin]

Carol- Can I ask which site has the book you're reading?

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Robin wrote: Suzanne - I have but haven't read it yet and the rest of the Naked Nobility Series is on my Definite Buy Shelf"

Oh right, I was just wondering as I am reading the first one, and first one and I was hoping that would be a bit like Julia Quinn, but unfortunately I don't think they are that good, or it isn't at the moment anyways

[Robin]

Suzanne - They sound good but since the one I have is not first, which I realized after I got it I need to at least get the first one. If my taste turns out to be like yours then I'll be changing my mind about their shelf location. I can read a series out of order but once I realize its a series I like to try and read them in order.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I am the same, I like to read order, I feel like I am missing out otherwise. From reading it I am not sure how important it is, other then that it looka as though characters cross books, so are friends, relatives of the main couple
