Sandra | 4734 comments HEA are gooood!!


message 52: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments ok, this parts a bit absurd, but I'm tryin' to roll with it ....


message 53: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments :( I wish I had a LOTU book to read next. LOL


message 54: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Don't tell me they stuffed up your ending!!!! NO NO NO they wouldn't be that stupid, would they?


message 55: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments No, it's ending ... happily for them, but so-so for me. I need a dose of oh-la-la HEA next to make up for it. hehe :)

Sandra | 4734 comments Boaster.lol.


message 59: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments LOL Not! All done. Well, it was a tad bit better than I thought, but still wanted it to end differently. Oh well. I can see why the author went that way though.

K ... gotta break to clean my contacts, charge my iTouch for Round 2 and pick out my next book.


message 60: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments 1:30a there in Sydney, yah? Good to go or ready to stop for the night/morning?


message 61: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments I'm still reading. What book did you pick next?


message 62: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments K. :) I guess I'll stick with my "copyright relay" and go with Marked by Passion next. It's been on my "RRR Game" list for months as well, so 'bout time I read it. New-to-me author, so no idea what to expect.


message 63: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Don't know her either. Hardly surprising.


message 64: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments Ok, emails answered ... book chosen ... iTouch looks to be charged enough to move onto Round 2. DING!

Starting: Marked by Passion (The Guardians of Destiny, #1) by Kate Perry


message 65: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments I love it. Couple paragraphs in and I am handed this beaut ...

"A tall hunk of a man stood on the other side of the counter with a package in his hand. ... He was more well groomed that any typical deliveryman. ... He says, "Sign here, please."

{She says} "No, 'I've got a big package for you' or anything?" I couldn't resist a glance at his crotch. "You don't think your package is that big?"


Gotta love the lady's humour. :)


message 66: by Kelley Anne (new)

Kelley Anne | 1619 comments You guys are so funny! I'm thinking that I am going to need to find someone to do a buddy read-a-thon too! Definetly adds to the fun! Well good luck you guys!


message 67: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments Ok, forget about the courier. This new guy (I'm guessing "the" guy) has a British accent. Stop the presses, I'm sold! LOL!


message 68: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Thanks Kelly Anne

HiYa, Kelley Anne! :) Hope you can find a time-zone buddy to pair up with.


message 71: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments I'm diggin' this heroine already. Her sense of humour would definitely make us friends IRL.


message 72: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Wow, that's good.

One more to add to the madness. Shame she's not real. Maybe the author is channelling. LOL.


message 73: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments LOL How's Luscious Lucien goin'?


message 74: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Just finished the last page. And guess what? ...... drum roll ..... He got the Girl! Isn't that just amazing?

I liked it. 4 stars.

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments Color me SHOCKED! LOL! Magic & Modern Girl = 3★. Oh well, they can't all be great, right. :)

Gonna keep goin' or crash?


message 76: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments I see Judithe's signed up for Footy Challenge too.


message 77: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments Ya I spotted that too. She can't resist. I love it. :) Great to be surrounded by fellow addicts = zero guilt! hehe


message 78: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Well, it's 2.15am here. How about we restart in the morning? My eyes keep watering, a sure sign.

What time in the morning? Any time from 7am here (6am Nippon) - you pick!


message 79: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (last edited Aug 01, 2010 09:21AM) (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments We did just over 6 hours! wow, it didn't seem that long.

I just checked, I get to mark off 6 challenges. Yay!!


message 80: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments No problem. Later today it is :) How about ??? crap, we have 18 hrs left to get the full 24 huh? Can't do that much tomorrow though. I can maybe do 6a-4p, depends on when J gets home. And I'll need about an hour somewhere in the middle of that to get some stuff done around the house. But, that still leaves us short 8 hours. What do ya think?


message 81: by Steph (last edited Aug 01, 2010 09:23AM) (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments And, no, it didn't feel like 6 hours. :) Chatting with you along the way made it feel shorter some how.

I just checked, I get to mark off 6 challenges. Yay!! YAY! :) I'm not sure how many I got outta M&MG, maybe 2? I'll ck later.


message 82: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments I think we beg our lovely Mods to let us go over 3 days, and see how we go.


message 83: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments Sounds good to me! Wed would be a perfect day to squeeze those add'l hrs in. *hint*hint*wink*wink*nudge*nudge :)


message 84: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments <10% into Marked by Passion>


message 85: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments So, is this goodnight? Parting is such sweet sorrow ..... LOL!


message 86: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments OK, talk to you in about 4.5 hours. Get some sleep, you'll need it.


message 87: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments LOL. May flights of angels sing thee to they rest....

message 93: by Steph (last edited Aug 01, 2010 02:18PM) (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments Dunno, but I find butt-crack early and wee hours at night are when I'm graced with my bestest jokes. Coping mechanism? Brain short? LOL!

Ready for Round 2.1? :D


message 94: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Yep, I was thinking technically this is a continuation of our last session - with only a 4.5 hr break, lol.

Go!

message 96: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments "So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Smilers never lose
And frowners never win
So let the sun shine in
Face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in"



message 97: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Hope that sunshine is for me.

We had great sunshine yesterday, 22C. Today is looking great too, but they said we'd have rain this arvo.

Maybe your little song will get rid of it for me. Here's hoping!


message 98: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments :D hope so too. It's 6:50a and already 82˚F (27-28˚C) here, so I got plenty to share.


message 99: by Steph (new)

Steph (angel4492) | 1573 comments So, Heart of the Dragon. That's another Gena book, yah? Is that YA?


message 100: by Sandra, Need more time to Read!! (new)

Sandra | 4734 comments Nope, it's like Atlantis with Dragons, they've mentioned the Titans & Cronus in passing as well.
