Has anyone here read Lolita? That's one I keep wanting to read, but get scared off because it's a translated classic. I've seen a couple of movies based on the book though.

The brother and sister were locked away together and developed an attraction to each other because they had no link to the outside world.

I don't think I'd read it..xD;
That book was scandalous when I was a kid. Everyone used to sneak that book. I haven't read it in years, but am willing to bet that it's pretty tame compared to what's out now.I love controversial subject matter if it's done right.
You know I'll just say
Or Red Glove. Or Hourglass Door. Or Hex Hall. But I think Anna is the best because it's easy to get into right away and doesn't really have any boring parts. And St. Clair is hot.
I haven't even read White Cat yet. I think I might soon..in the holidays. I'll read Anna too. And I'd read the others but I can't be bothered buying them. What about Storm Born?

Agree to all that (Im an echo to everything Stacia just said.) :)

I "think" you'll like Kiyo in that book, but you might like Dorian better. Kiyo's the Japanese fox spirit, and I know you like Asian guys, but he's also very alpha male. Dorian reminds me of a tamer V'lane. I just don't like that he wears robes all the time.
It was a good book, but sort of a lot of details to have to wade through until you figure things out, which made it a little slow at first.
Okay they both sound hot..maybe not the robes..but we'll see. It looks really good I think I'll read it soon. I might also read the other one with the manly lady on the front. And Chicagoland Vampires.
Hah. Manly lady. I know you have to mean Georgina Kincaid.Are you more in a series mood or do you want standalone books?
Flowers in the Attic...that was a bloody good book. Totally forgot that I read that, I'll have to put it on my Read list :-) I read a couple of the others too but remember them going downhill after the 1st couple.
Yeah thats the one. xDI don't mind either as long as they are actually worth reading.
Just looked at the new S&S ARCS and they all look boring too. Except for Wrapped.
Hey Brit, I'm honestly not trumping my horn or anything and I'm about to put my 1st book out for free anyway. But if you like The Iron Fey series you may quite enjoy mine. There are some simialrities (although mine was published before hers) but I can e-mail it to you if you're interested. That goes for anyone here also. Did I mention it's free :-) Promise I won't push it on anyone, it's just a suggestion (you guys know me better than that by now).
Wrapped looks like a really good book, but the ratings for it make me nervous. They're pretty low. I might chance it at some point because it would count for my YA historical group and I'd like to be able to have more to contribute to the discussions over there.I didn't read past Flowers in the Attic. The movie was actually pretty interesting. I've seen it a few times. The mom was a whack job...

Some people do just click ratings when they add them. I like the idea of it so I'm gunna give it a try because I haven't read anything from their galleys yet.

Indie authors need all the help they can get.
Thanks, Stacia. I'd appreciate any feedback.You too Brit. Any feedback gratefully received.
Brit, keep an eye on your inbox, I'll need your personal e-mail so I can send you the attachment.

As long as I don't have to worry about wasting my money, then I am okay with reading it.
@Britnee Really, I haven't thought of them as sexist. Unless I'm forgetting something the only thing that was sexist to me was when Susan & Lucy weren't allowed to fight in
. I haven't read
yet so I can't speak for them.@Stacia I planned on reading this last month but that didn't happen but it works out pretty well to read it this month since CoFA comes out in two days.
@Ashley Yeah I didn't think of them that way either but I've seen alot of people pointing out stuff in them.
I have finished Outlander Wicked Lovely The Girl Who Played with Fire Fire Me Up I am currently reading The Virgin's Lover and Lover Revealed
@Rebecca. I LOVE Fire me Up. That whole series is just so funny and sexy. Katie MacAlister is one of my fave Adult PNR authors. I just love her voice.Have you read the rest of the series?
I finshed harry potter and the deathly hallows (in less than a day and a half, jeez obsessive much?) And CoFA comes in less than two days (YEAH!!) so i think i'll not start anything. maybe brush on some agathia christie, i'm curious to see if her books are any good. I also have the hunger games #2 on order.

Hi dora *waves*
Finished
for a group read and I borderline hated it at first (I'm not a chick lit kind of girl), but about 1/3 of the way in I started laughing my ass off hard. This book was hysterical.Was going to read
but it's not loading properly, so I guess I'm going to read
and try to finish Eon before CoFA comes.
I'm evilling you through the computer right now. I think they are so hot with clothes or without.I dunno O:
WELL. MA are in my bad books now D< They didn't post
so now I can't start it tomorrow!! Now I have to find something else to read *Pout*
