Steph & Sandra Reading Buddies

[Steph]

Cool - sounds good.

[Steph]

hallelujah, the male main has "dark crystalline blue eyes" and not the new fad violet. LOL!

[Steph]

and oh, boy ... "You don't know what you're missing, love." Gotta love a little Brit in the mornin'. ;)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I've got 'cold, ice blue eyes' finally, on pg 43.

[Steph]

ah, and the world is as it should be ... LOL

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

We've got a carmine haired, green eyed heroine. Yay. With freckles.

[Steph]

Sounds like me - the green eyes. Mine is french/asian mix w/dark hair. Don't believe her eyes have been mentioned yet. Oh yeah, blue, I remember. Mom's eyes, dad's hair.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I had to wait to pg 47. All I knew before that was a red head.

Is yours still as funny as last night?

[Steph]

No LOL moments, but the heroine's sense of humor still makin' me smile.

How's yours goin'?

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Good, good. We're at the 'I'm supposed to kill you, but somehow I don't want to' stage.

[Steph]

Ah. Yes the, if only-phase. LOL! I'm at the 'I've now got this big responsibility (I didn't ask for) dropped in my lap, on top of the life I already had planned for myself ... hottie trying to hook up with me ... what to do?' part.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Ah, the 'what to do' stage. LOL. You should just tell her, so she doesn't have to worry her pretty little head about it.ROFLOL.

[Steph]

If only! LOL! My instructions are as follows: Slap the nosey, hoe-ish coworker Vivian, give long-lost bro the big FU, finally put the old boyfriend in his place - not with you, grab onto the Brit and hold on tight, it should be a wild ride. LOL!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

The question is, will she do it?

[Steph]

25% done and the beast in my belly has awakened. LOL I'm gonna grab some brekkie. :)
BRB .......

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Good idea, a snack & then I really need to clean my teeth. LOL. 24%

[Steph]

LOL! That's the 1st thing I must do every AM, even if it means doin' the pee-pee dance at the sink. Ok, TMI, I know. I'm chowin' down, awaiting your return. :) Lemme know when we're a go .....

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I'm back with coffee and vegemite toast. Yumm.

[Steph]

<--- soda (don't like coffee, it's my way to get my daily req'd dose of caffeine) and muffin w/strawberry butter. BTW - never could get into the vegemite. I did give it a go though. Must be a taste bud you Aussies are born with. LOL! :)

Ready to read?

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yep. I can read & chew.

[Steph]

It's a beautiful day in the neigborhood .... ♬♪

[Steph]

LOL, k, didn't wanna rush you or anything. :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Tra...la...la...

[Steph]

Ok, now I'm officially jealous. She touches the scroll and it reads to her! No fair. :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Ooohh! Wish we could do that! Although it's always quicker to read than be read to. And no skipping around when someone else is in control.

Still I'd like that.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

She's escaped from Atlantis, I wonder how long for.

And the brother is missing. Why do brothers always go missing and no one looks for them but their sisters. Hmm. Why? 32%

[Steph]

LOL! My guy revealed a bit of his "secret" and they've checked the "first kiss" box. 38%

[Steph]

"Careful, love. I tend to win games I choose to play."

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yep, my girl checked that box before she escaped.

[Steph]

uh-oh, my girl is about to make "the big mistake" .... oh dear, will her hero help her in time??? Dun-dun-dun

[Steph]

ah, "mistake" averted.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Thank God for that. I was worried for her! lol.

[Steph]

45% in and we've reached the "I'll use whatever I have at my disposal to make you see reason," he said fiercely. "What is reason, Rhys?" ... "Reason is that we're meant to be together." Passion blazed from his face, a warrior bent on conquest. "I want you, and I know you want me, too."

LOL! Et toi?

[Steph]

Oh no, how quickly things shift ... she's just discovered his true intentions. At least his initial ones, of course that all changed when he met her.

"... But it quickly became evident that I would sooner be able to rip my own heart out than hurt you."

Will she buy it? or flee? Guess?! hehe Let the chase begin.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

of course, don't they always! 42%

[Steph]

And, there it is ... "Can't or won't, Gabrielle?"

"... a fist pressed to my traitorous heart. What the hell was I going to do now?"

Yep, it's on. (47%)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

"...Had she been coaxing him to his death, he gladly would of followed."

All this and they've had 2 kisses total.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yep, its happening pg 166.

[Steph]

LOL Mine have shared 4 rather sparky kisses, but alas, she's done with him and he's "determined to make her see ..." hehe

[Steph]

Oh and the hoe-ish co-worker ..."Though you're part Chinese, aren't you? That's why your eyes are squinty, isn't it?" Niiiiice, rude much?

[Steph]

Ah, the oldie, but goody line ... "it was too much and not enough at the same time..."

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

No, No, No. He's got a guilty conscious and he stopped.
He still thinks he has to kill her. Can't *F* her and then kill her.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Ooohh. His eyes have changed to 'golden brown', no longer "ice blue".

What does it all mean?

That is so much a classic ... "it was too much and not enough at the same time..." ... can't believe it's actually written there.ROFLMAO.

[Steph]

Can't have that! What to do. LOL!

He's "other"? LOL!

My kitty, Crystal, popped up for some attention .... BRB

[Steph]

k, kitty is happy and I'm back ... 54%

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

He's a Dragon from Atlantis, actually King Dragon from Atlantis....of course.

What's kitty's name? I grew up with kittys.

[Steph]

LOL, but of course. :)

We have two - adopted in AU @ RSPCA as kittens - Dexter 18# tabby and Crystal 10# Australian Mist. :) They are our "2nd set" of cats, only ~2 yrs old. Our "1st set" died at age 17/18 respectively.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

They must of been happy to live that long.

Unfortunately, I grew up on a busy secondary road, which is now bypassed, of course. I think the longest puss we had was about 6/7 yrs old. They all seemed to like dicing with death.

Dexter & Crystal, heh, cute. Did you have trouble with quarantine in Japan? I know it would of been horrendous going the other way.

[Steph]

They were, so were we though. :)

Sorry. Some cats just have that wild streak, I guess, living on the edge and all. hehe Ours have mostly been indoor cats.

Actually Japan is rabies free, same as AU. So, we came straight here from AU to avoid quarantine if we'd come home to the US in between. But, we did have to pay out the a$$ for an AU "Pet transport company" to get our cats OUT of the country! ABSURD! Compared to that, getting them into JP was a piece of cake. (Not really, but it was easier) Pissed me off. But Qantas won't allow "individuals" to schedule flights for outgoing pets. Whatever! LOL It's over, but still a sore spot for me. Can ya tell? :)
