Hey Vanessa! How was your weekend away?

[Vanessa]

Hey Carob! Yeh good thanks! Went up to Darwin for the weekend to get in some sunshine and really nice weather but actually met a really really nice girl on the plane on the way there and got talking to her and quite surprisingly her and her friend were staying in the same hotel as me for one of the nights I was there so I spent alot of time with them! Didn;t get alot of reading done though but made some great new friends and a trip back up there to visit them is on the cards so that is good! How;s everything? I haven;t really looked through the old messages so have I missed much?! How are you? How;s things?

[Lina]

Noice! :-) Sounds like a good time was had all round. Darwin's on my bucket list.
Been busy here, and probably bound to get worse before christmas, trying to get as much reading in as I can before it all goes crazy :-)

Yeh had an awesome time thanks Carob! Planning my next trip up there already! I would love to get a buddy read in before Christmas but just don;t think I'm going to be able to. I have to make all my Christmas cards and would like to get some more study done before Christmas so just don;t think I will get the chance BUT I am defiantley planning one for next year and also want ot get into the BOM with everyone aswell. Can't wait!

[Vanessa]

FINALLY finished The Family Farm by Fiona Palmer. I loved it! Great little story about the Australin outback and a great romance aswell! I've rated it 5 stars! Fiona Palmer has written another one aswell about Australian farming which I am keen toread but back to Jodi Picoult for now! Going to finish Harevesting the Heart. Hope it gets better! I'll read it quickly so I can move onto another!

LOL, stalk and stalk alike I say :-)

[Vanessa]

Just got a book that arrived in the post that I ordered! It;s called Your Voice In My Head by a girl called Emma Forrest. It;s about her and she has written of her experince with depression and how she went to see a psychiatrist and he had cancer himself but didn;t tell her. He passed away and dealt with all her problems but kept his to himself so that he wasn;t bothering her. I can;t wait to get started on it!

[Lina]

sounds like something my RL bookclub would enjoy. Let me know how you go with it, Vanessa.

[Katya]

That's good to know :) I came across a bunch of Linda Lael Miller books at a used booksale yesterday, and figured I have to read this one. But now I have , so I'm thinking I have to start that one instead. Decisions, decisions.....

I will Carob! I didn;t put int hat bit I just wrote that she also turned to self-harm. This is one of the reasons she went to a psychiatrist. It;s a true stroy she wrotw about herself. I started it last night. It;s really good!

[Vanessa]

Off to bed to read Your Voice In My Head! Don;t you just love curling up in bed with a good book?! I do! Night all!

[Tracey]

Getting ready to start and both for a buddy read :)

[Katya]

I just finished And Although Samson's book is my favorite...This one is probably the most exciting. What a bomb get's laid on you in this story. I loved it...I loved it. I am doing my happy dance right now. They introduced a new member to the team too...Cain. This is such a great series! (Scanguard Vampires)


Lisa Kay - I finished these books lately and they were all excellent (very emotional):

Thanks, Katya! GTK = Good to know!

[Lina]

Vanessa, RL club means my Real Life bookclub that I go to once a month :-) Just me being lazy with my typing, sorry!

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Katya, I read all of those when they were published online. Have you read by the same one who wrote Trust in Advertising? It is awesome too...and funny :)

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Right now, I'm reading and I really enjoyed the 1st in the series of the Maya Banks book. Hopefully I'll be finished with them before we start the buddy read of on Monday :)

I am planning on reading it. Funny? so as I figured it is very different from the other one.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

There's definite humor in it. Unless it changed a good bit from the version I read. It's really good though :)

Oh, yes! And it was so clever.

I'm reading , funny book so far.

I fond Millionaire Vampire to be pretty funny too. I read the second book in the series, and enjoyed it just as much.

[Carolyn F.]

Good to know Michelle.

[Vanessa]

Sorry Tracey! I just want to say that I kind of do envy you though with you being so busy and all. I'm single and sometimes get bored! sometimes i have so much times on my hands! People with kids and who work wonder how that can happen but it does! I work full-time but that only takes up a certain amount of time and I do have alot of hobbies that I do but I do envy you for being so busy!

[Tracey]

Wouldn't change a thing if I could. A little more sleep might be nice :) but I choose to stay up at night for "me time". I totally get how easy it would be to get bored. One Friday night when my husband hadn't made it home yet (he's on the road M-F, usually makes it home by Friday night but in this case had not) and the kids had a sleepover at a friends house, I had the house all to myself and I felt totally lost. Had no idea what to do with myself. Ended up taking a bath and reading :). I know I'm a crazy party animal. LOL!

All three Victoria Michaels, E.L. James and Sebastien Robichaud Sylvain Reynard are Twilight fanfiction writers turned published authors. And I know for a fact that Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Gabriel's Inferno (sorry, I'm having trouble with goodreads adding links) are pulled Twilight Edward and Bella fanfics that have been edited, poorly, into these published books. Fifty Shades 1&2 especially have merely gone through a search and replace for the names but hardly any real editing at all.

If you enjoyed them, I'm glad, because I know people who've felt cheated having paid the full price for them.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

What, rameau! Can they do that?

[rameau]

Lisa Kay wrote: "What, rameau! Can they do that?"

Apparently they can. I'm moderating a group where we're discussing this phenomenon at length.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Whoa.

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Oh Lisa Kay, I was a HUGE Twilight fanfiction reader...for about 2 years I read practically nothing but that. I haven't read the Victoria Michaels published stories yet, but rameau is right, the others were not changed AT ALL except for the names. In fact, I have them saved as PDFs in the fanfiction form on my computer and when I read the Fifty Shades stories, I kept replacing Christian with Edward in my head LOL

[Carolyn F.]

I just finished . This is a great series.

[Kit★]

Wow, that's crazy! Shouldn't the original author, like, idk, get mad about that or something?
