I'm here.Ready to go?
:) HiYa! Mornin' Sunshine! How ya going?Yep --- all ready. Finished Eternal Kiss of Darkness last night. (Hope that wasn't against the rules of the RAT.)
I'm starting w/Hearts at Stake.
Morning. Not against the rules, that's why you said where you were up to when you finished on Monday.I fluffed around last night & didn't read anything. I saw when you finished EKD last night. It looks good.
OK Ready Set Go!
In about an hour we'll need to break; I'll have to hang out a load of washing. Last good day today for that till at least Monday.How's the new book looking?
Looks like this one is written with two girls narrating each chapter ... alternating. Hope it's not too confusing to keep up with.
LOL ... i wrote that before seeing your post. Seriously, you're starting to creep me out with that! Get outta my head, woman! :DK, no worries. I will be lookin' for some brekkie by then anyway.
That's pretty unusual. My girl's busy saving his life, from poison and he's still trying to protect her. What a Hero!
Be still my beating heart. :) I'm ok with it so far LOL but that would only be chapter 1.
cool, my main is the first vamp daughter born to an ancient family in 900 yrs. she has some kinda special pheromones that are attracting vamps to her, which I'm guessing is a bad thing. Something about a prophecy ... now they're trying to kill her .... LOL
Wow, who knew flashing your boobs could help get rid of poison?
Geez Louise, I'm gonna need a notebook with this one. Lots of info dumped in your lap right off about vamp hx, her family, mean queen and wicked dude 1/2 turning people who grow 2nd set of fangs .... it's a bit early for all that. LOL
Sandra wrote: "Wow, who knew flashing your boobs could help get rid of poison?"LMAO!!! Did they scare the poison out of him or did all the blood flow to his *ahem* cause the poison to vanish?
Oooowww! 2nd set of fangs, one's bad enough.And the boob flashing worked! Could get interesting at local hospitals if it catches on.
Seriously, I'm @ 8% and she's laid out a gazzillion year history of vamps in like 3 pages. I'm a tiny bit *HUH* at the moment. Hoping it'll all make sense soon and that I'll remember it all. AMAZING! Gotta say though, if that caught on, more men would actually go to the doctor/hospital without having to be forced to by their wives. LOL! :D
Shit, there's more hx ... help ... I'm drowning ..... LOL!
Some books are weird like that.
7 brothers ... so far. Auntie, mom, dad. A bunch of bad guys - in 3 different "forms" of vampire. Phew, seriously that's a lot to take it so quickly. Oh and the "how my family came to be", the vampire line 1st through present.Is your guy all better since his booby cure?
I can already say that it'd be safe to place a bet on the main's brother (one of them) hooking up with her BFF before the end of the book. They've got that, I've known you since you born, pick on you all the time (ponytail pulling kine) going on.
Don't know, but would presume so. We've switched to the bad guys - Demon Queen & Vampire King arguing, sniping & mocking at each other.
I know exactly what you mean. You like knowing it's going to happen, and not just sprung on you at the end where you go WTF but subtly is becoming a lost art.
LOL Cool Demon Q and Vamp K? I like. How convenient. Bad guys came while BFF was "arguing" with brother outside. Pretending not to notice them, he kisses her, acting like he's taking her inside for some chitty chitty bang-bang. Sure ... he's just "acting". Uh-huh. ;)
I knew I was right (about them getting together) but who knew it'd happen 1.5 pgs later? LOL
Wow, vamp mom kicks serious a$$. Nice! :)
Back to the H/h and he talks Klingon when he's unconscious.
LOL! only when he's unconscious? Does she understand him?My h just meat her H, I'm guessing. A human hunter. Surprise! Romeo and Juliet - vamp style.
Yep, she's been watching him (from Atlantis) his whole life. He of course doesn't know that.H/h from opposite side of the tracks. Wow. I'm surprised!!! Can the author pull it off?
Ahhh, how sweet :)Let us see ....... so far we can ck off "he believes all vamps are bad" (in this world they aren't, exhibit A: h's family, of course) and "she wished he wasn't so handsome" ....... right on track.
"Someone's downstairs. He scratched at the window and Dad let him in after Mom threatened to eat his face." Bahahaha Go Mom!
Brother "I'm sorry for leaving you behind"BFF "You've never apologized to me before."
"I said I was sorry the time I used your doll for target practice with the pellet gun."
"Because your mom had you by the ear."
"Well, what ever. Sorry."
And so it begins. >:)
She's cooked a fish, catching it; both for the very 1st time. "Well?"
"Tastes like chicken," he said. "Thank you for cooking."
Not what she wanted to hear because she remembered how he'd complained about chicken in one of her visions.
10 minute break, while I hang out the washing. BRB!
K --- grabbin' a snack.20% in
I'm back, grabbed some peanut butter toast as well. Trying to warm up my fingers, after cold, wet clothes. LOL.
Oh oh he's just figured out she's seen his life through visions. He's not happy!
☀ some more sunshine for ya :) No worries, gave me time to snarf down some cereal. K .... starting again
Thanks, its a great sunshiney day today. After grade 2 cyclone winds yesterday. Weird.Oh its suddenly OK cause he's just realised he's had dreams of her all his life too. Ain't love grand! LOL.
That was weird. Just got an error "503 Service Unavailable / No server is available to handle this request. " when I posted (or tried to) my comment. :(Anyway.....
Your comment about the winds made me think of the red dirt storm. That was so bizarre. Ya'll had it worse in Sydney, yah?
That it is! :)
"He was looking at me as if he wanted to peel me like an orange."
AhHA! "His eyes were like rain in autumn; violet, mysterious, beautiful." hehe
LOL. What a statement!That was really strange, the dust storm. I've got 2 photos of it on my profile page. Looking at the city from Nth Sydney, you should have a look.
503 errors happen when GR are doing maintenance etc, and sometimes its a glitch. Usually momentary, sometimes longer. Always annoying. But what can you do? It is after all a free service. Love GR.
I know, right?! I'll have to take a look. I have (had - damn, might'a lost those in the 2010 digi-crash ... note to self: look for storm pics) some, not as wild as your's, I'm sure. I was at the AU War Memorial looking toward Parliament house, but you couldn't see it.
LOVE, love, love ♥ GR! :) Just didn't wanna lose touch with my book-buddy! LOL
There's those violet eyes again!!!Do those authors think no one will notice?
I've got quite a few pics, I'll have to see if I can email them. Didn't want to put too many on here!
Dunno. Guess it's like those movies that come out within a week of each other .... same, but different. Only one I can think of is "Mall Cop" and ???? see, only one is even worth remembering (not that it was really any good). LOL! Ignore me.
Never, and I know what you mean. Groups of movies always come out at the same time; looking like, sounding like, same story.
