Steph & Sandra Reading Buddies

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yep, and while I've never had to do that or known anyone else that's done that, can I say I'm not surprised.

Bureaucracy gone mad! 58%

[Steph]

We've crossed into the "hot zone" --- brace yourself, ladies ... "she says, "Ha! You'd be thrilled if I bowed down and did whatever you wanted!" "No, I rather fancy you fighting back. It'll make your willing surrender all that much sweeter." "I won't -" "Oh, love, you will." ... "One day you'll lay yourself open before me and beg me for what I can do to you."

[Steph]

<Bureaucracy gone mad!> That's in it in a nutshell! The nerve! Making me pay someone else to do what have done 10x over (military travel w/pets) myself. :P F*U too, AU - rather Qantas - , not the fond farewell I was hoping for. LOL!

65%

majordomo???

Pronunciation: \ˌmā-jər-ˈdō-(ˌ)mō\ noun

Okey-dokey

[Steph]

You sleepin' over there???? LOL! Wakey Wakey, eggs and bakey!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Hello, they're in NY looking for the brother - she's just bought him a chocolate eclair - apparently a religious experience.....

"Were he to slather her body with the eclair and lick away every trace, he might find release before he actually entered her."

And they're still at 2 kisses, everytime they get too close one or other of them pulls back. Ugh.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I always think of Butler or Concierge when I read Majordomo.

[Steph]

lol eclair erotica

my girl is slowly but surely about to cave

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Said to one of the bad guys - "You touched my woman. Mine. For that alone I want to kill you.

Grace's heart stopped. Literally stopped suspended in her chest. Which should she react to first? The scales or the 'she is my woman' statement?" 70%

[Steph]

Who would'a guessed, a shifter with caveman tendencies. LOL 80%

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Starting to get peckish, 80 odd pages to go though.

Shocking! :)

[Steph]

Me too. Push through? or pause? :)

HiYa, Kelley Anne. LOL Right?! Shocker!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Yes I was so surprised!!!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

The brother is escaping (from humans) in Atlantis while the King Dragon is in NY, with the sister, naturally.

Time for a pause. Food time. LOL.

[Steph]

Here ya go ... "... I found a woman I never dreamed existed. A spirited, talented, passionate, beautiful woman who set me on fire in a way my powers never did. ... I found home. None of the money in the world can buy the home I've found in your arms."

[Steph]

K, food break it is. :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Does that mean they've finally got it happening?

My Dragon has now admitted to himself that he can't kill her, but still doesn't know what he's gonna do! lol.

Well, we all know what he's gonna do, Right?

[Steph]

Oh baby do they! LOL

Hmmmm, let me think .... what will he do??? Such a difficult ? LMAO!

Got my cut lunch and ready to get back to their hot & heavy. You?

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Just gobbled down my roast beef & pickle sambo. I might go grab an apple though, back in a tick.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

OK Ready to rock n roll.

Judithe must be working, she's been quiet.

[Steph]

I'm workin' on my ham & cheese. LOL You = apple, me = chocolate pudding :)

[Steph]

Ok --- back to it then.

Yeah, I recon, haven't seen any emails from her yet today.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Page 289 and the question is asked for the 1st time, how is there light; night & day under the sea in Atlantis. Asked by the brother, mind you.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I had chocolate pudding with a decadent chocolate sauce for desert last 2 nights. Yummo.

I could go & grab a slice of custard tart, but no, I'll wait for John to get home or there will be raised eyebrows. lol.

[Steph]

LOL! Kinda late for that and by him, yah?

Mmmmmm good! My mouth is full'a nothin' but sweet teeth! LOL!

All done w/Marked by Passion. I'm gonna give it 4★. Gabe (Gabrielle) is sassy and I like it. Rhys is just ... yum. Overall story, not bad, not "the usual" which was nice. It has Asian lore & mystery.

So ... what's next?!? Lemme ck my relay lists. BRB ....

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

OK He's figured out if he mates with her she becomes an Atlantean citizen, so he can keep her. Aahhh. Isn't love grand! And I think this time it's going to happen...page 310 finally.

[Steph]

I'm SO excited .... finally reached one of my eagerly anticipated books on my relay chain!

I'm starting ! YAY! :D

TIME CHECK: 12:08PM LOL and somehow still awake. (Thanks to you. Otherwise, I'm sure I'd have dozed by now.)

How ya doin' over there?

[Steph]

PAUSE ... hubby's ckin' in :D

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I'm fine, I'm a night owl. Often awake late, that's why I usually sleep in.

My copy of Eternal Kiss of Darkness came the other day. But I'm using the relay to read August challenge books first, and so far Eternal's only down for your Cereal Challenge. So it hasn't made the grade yet. lol

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

It's only just hit 1pm here, I think your clocks fast.

[Steph]

I'm a night owl too, but lounging in bed reading after only 4 hrs of sleep would'a had me dozing by now if I hadn't had you to chat with along the way. :)

I have yet to signup for any August (only) challenges yet. Some I'm interested in, but haven't had time to really check them out yet. Soon though.

This one is in my copyright relay. :)

You're right. All my clocks say something different (laptop = 12:22; iTouch = 12:14; watch = 12:16; alarm clock = 12:10) Oh well. I'll either be early or late where ever I'm off to, I guess. LOL!

J said to tell ya HI. :)

RESTART ....

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Hope he's well, and looking forward to seein' ya!

Did he say when he was coming home? Just let me know when you want to stop.

I'm in both RRRCs August challenges & Werewolf Love's - the one I'm reading now is for werewolf love as well as a few others.

[Steph]

He is, thanks :) He said maybe 4ish.

I think I'm going to try to focus on my yearlies and the relays to wrap things up for the year. Dunno though, I might join 1-2 monthlies for Aug. We'll see.

I remembered I d/l this freebie dictation iApp. I'm givin' it a go for my reading notes (for review post) vs. Stanza bookmarks for this one. Not bad so far, translates pretty good whatever you say, just have to speak clearly. Then, I can email it to myself. Neat-O. :D

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I'm trying to do more cross challenging. It seems to be working, though not anywhere near Laura's standards.

Does it detract from the book, when you've got to think about writing reviews? Or do you enjoy the book regardless. I even get distracted by looking at the page number.

[Steph]

Sheesh, no joke, we'd be lucky if we had her cross challenge skills, yah? :) I'm not bad with it, but no where near as good with it as she is.

No, it's become sort of second nature at this point. I just read along and bookmark pages I want to refer to for my review. This is taking me longer though b/c I can't figure out how to "return" to the next line without switching out of voice into keypad. Probably going to give up on that "toy" for now and return to bookmarks. :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

OK I've finished . I really enjoyed it and your company. Hmm how many stars 4 or 5? I think I'll go with 5.

Now to pick the next one. lol. No rest for the wicked!

[Steph]

Cool, might have to add that one to my "read soon" list. :)

Hm, seems that Mencheres' body is completely hairless.....

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Well, that could be good, in fact the more I think of it, it could be very good.

What, wait a minute does that mean bald & no eyebrows too?

Oohh, that's just not right!!

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Looks like Judithes back.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I think I'll the next in the series he's a hottie, 369 pages

[Steph]

LOL No just below the neck.

:) Welcome Back, Welcome Back, Welcome Back ....

[Steph]

Yes, yes he is. :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Ooh, the Hero speaks Klingon. This is my kind of book.LOL.

[Steph]

LMAO!! Rockin' the Trek, I like it. :)

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

You're bad, now all I can hear is the Welcome Back Kotter jingle. Luckily Laura still has the whip!

[Steph]

LMAO!!! Mencheres says to Radje (the evil law guardian) -they've been enemies for 4.5 millennia- "You cannot prove any of this. You never could. Find a new pastime, Radje. I hear Wii is extremely entertaining." :D

[Steph]

STILL LOL! Sorry. You started it though w/the "Judithe's back" comment.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Judithe doesn't sound like Kotter!

[Steph]

how do you know? LOL! she might.
