Yeah, my parents would kill me if they knew I was reading bodice rippers.

Hehe, I've never actually read a bodice ripper, but the closest I've come to is the Sookie Stackhouse novels and the Dark Tides series. But Sookie's one of the bests, and they're not as raunchy as the Anita Blake books have become.
The raunchiest book I've read is The Girl With the Dragon, which was slightly disturbing
Lol, I thought about reading those, just because everyone else was reading them, but they didn't seem like something I'd want to read, once I looked into them.
Mermaidfreak89 - try reading FINS - Garrett & Guitarchick have both read & enjoyed it. :-)
Yes, yes, the cover problem. I do want to try
, but then I'd really have to rip of the cover before boarding my train. It is supposed to be Disney's Little Mermaid with humor, sex and reversed roles: Merman + Princess (who swappes her legs for a tail I think)The densest overload of explicit sex scenes I experienced in Judith Krantz novels so far. They are 70s and 80s stuff and absolut guilty pleasure fun. The few historical bodice rippers I've tried were rather ridiculous. Although I have to admit the "Deadly" series by Brenda Joyce did keep me entertained.

I just got this
for an Easter present, and I'm so excited! Loved the movie!

Just finished
. Dark, magical, and Sarah Porter's style of writing is so poetic and beautiful. Loved it!
No, not yet, but there's a website where you can get Advanced Galleys and read them online called Netgalley.com. That's where I read mine!

Red Riding Hood was awesome! And the werewolf looked amazing. It looked fierce, not like some overgrown mutt. :D
I am reading Les Miserables, written by Victor Hugo....Classic French Literature....all 1,463 pages....and guess what! I'm on 64! Hahaha!!!! But, Jean ValJean is amazing!!!!!! *Sigh*
Ooh, I had to read that for English 10 last year! Are you reading the edited version with about 600 pages or the version with 1000+ pages? Cuz if you're reading the original long version, I admire you greatly, because there's no way I could have focused that long on one book, lol! :D But it really is a great book, and it's one novel everyone should read at least once. :)
Am reading We'll Always Have Summer by Jenny Han <3

Alright, I just ordered two Scott Pilgrim novels, Home to the Sea (Chester Aaron) Selkie Girl and The Girl Who Played With Fire. So excited :)
Hey, that's awesome! I want to get Tempest Rising when it comes out, plus I have a bunch of Buffy novels in my shopping cart, just waiting to be bought. Sigh...I need a job...
I have one. Cleaning the bathroom doesn't pay very well....
Lol! Well, it appears this summer I'm going to be saying a million times, "Would you like fries with that?"
NOOOOOO! DON'T LET IT SUCK YOUR SOUL! I know so many people who want to kill themselves from stressful jobs in food service. Keep a lookout for interesting people to write into a book. Hey, youl already know one quirk: What they order.
I know! But my parents are making me. Sigh...it's about time I get one anyway. All those Buffy novels I want but can't afford... Huh, I never thought about looking at people and writing them into stories. But my mind's constantly coming up with new stories anyway, so that might just work! I just hope I don't get a really awesome idea at work and have no way of writing it down.
J.K. Rowling wrote part of Harry Potter and the Sorcers Stone on napkins in a little cafe'.
Reading
for the third time! Definitely my favorite series, and my favorite vampire book! Highly recommend it!
Mod
I know, but you'll forget they're vampires. There's not that much blood-drinking or fangs and no burning in the sun. And most of the book has dhampirs in it instead. You should try it, it surpasses every other vampire book in the genre. And get this! The love interests actually take time to fall in love, rather than fall hopelessly in love like other vamp books. *ahem* twilight *ahem*
Haha...I agree on so many levels....
Mod
Sounds cool. I've heard good things about the book, and nothing could be worse than Twilight.
I think this is definitely the best of the YA books. It's not mushy-gushy, the main love interest isn't a creepy stalker, and there's a lot of action and adventure. It's a must-read. :DI just finished reading it for the third time!
Currently reading
, and it is awesome! I started it before, but I never really got into it, but that's because I'd just read the first book, and usually i can't reading series books back to back. i need some variety in between. But now that I've revisited this world, I can't get my nose out of this freakin' book! It's amazing! I mean, evil mermaid soldiers recruited by an even nastier queen, all of them equipped with spears and death ray guns? Sign me up!
You had me at death ray guns *swoons over awesomeness* I'm having an action phase. The Girl Who played With Fire is (no pun intended) reallt starting to heat up.
I'm currently reading
and it is so FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! You guys have to read this one! It's one of the best merbooks! It's definitely worth reading!
Mod
(btw, anyone know whether Kindle or nook is better?)
Yep, I was so excited when it came out! The cover is even MORE beautiul when you see it for real.I think they're pretty much the same, but you could ask Guitar Chick what she thinks about the Kindle. I think she has one. :)
I don't actually have a kindle, I have the free kindle app for the computer :) It works the same though, just not as portable.
Oh yeah, I have that, too. I haven't used it yet, but I'm thinking I might someday soon. There's some mermaid ebooks out that look really good.
I got Real Mermaids Don't Wear Toe Rings and Fins for that. It comes with Pride and Predjudice, Trasure Island, and Aesop's fables for free!
After I finish what I'm reading now, I'm going to read "Seven Tears Into The Sea"
Just finished
and it was AWESOME!!! The wait was definitely worth it! Highly recommend!
Mod
Love that one :) Hope you enjoy it
I just started Tempest Rising today! I hadn't realized it was out, so I was pleasantly surprised when I made a random stop at the bookstore. I'm only a few pages in, but so far so good!
Mod
Also might have to stop at B&N for Tempest Rising :D
Awesome! You guys will love it! Right now, I'm reading
and just finished the previous Sookie Stackhouse book. And I'm also waiting way too impatiently for True Blood to start back in June!
Mod
Yeah, I got mine at Barnes and Noble. Maybe they've sold out, or they might not have bought any copies. Some books I've gone looking for didn't have them in stock. Plus, it's a whole lot cheaper to buy on Amazon anyway. :)
