Okay, I’m having a dilemma. The H/h started in the kitchen – and I think they did it there… but then they woke in bed. Hmmmmmmmm. I’m going to count it, as I think some of the critical parts of this encounter occurred in the kitchen.


edited: shower, Pacific Ocean

[Mary X]

I'm just going to see how many I can finish. I'm back dating a few days because I can fill the Gazebo & Shower ones in already.

Location, location, location! Challenge. Where do the characters in your books make love? If you have found a scene that is anywhere other than a bed, use it for this challenge.

I'm just going to see how many I can fill and aim for all of them w/o buying anything to fill a category.

[Mary X]

OK I'm not getting the Rounds thing.

[Heather]

Mary, the initial goal was 12 non-bed scenes. Some of us have already surpassed the initial 12, so for every 12 we get that moves us into another round. As far as I know, the number of rounds we get really doesn't mean anything.
As I have 37 books, I completed 3-12 book rounds. I, along with some others, just wanted to see how many non-bed scenes I could read in a year. =)

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Nah. the Rounds don't mean anything anymore. Maybe I should stop. But, I'm a counter.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Okay, set up something different - Cumulative Yearily Totals. In post #3.

[Lina]

That works well too Lisa Kay. Hadn't realised how well Kate had caught up,she's going great!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yeah, Kate is on a roll!

I just want to point out that the Pacific Ocean mention in Face the Fire was the NORTHERN Pacific Ocean, not the southern... burrr, cold!

[Lina]

Excellent Lisa, it's good to see them all the latest on the same screen :-)

Northern Pacific Ocean??? I'm trying very hard to not make shrinkage jokes!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

LOL!

[Mary X]

Ah gotcha. I thought it might be something like that since it was still open for people to join.

I've read several sex scenes lately and all have been in a bed or shower. Come on people spice it up! I see a lot of books I own marked off for various scenes by other people though.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yes, Mary, I would have to say the shower is proably the second most common place after the bedroom. At least in the books I read. Reminds me of the show Friends when they were discussing the most unusal place each they made love and Rachel said, "The foot of the bed."

LOL! I must've missed that episode :-)

[Mary X]

So would sex on a dresser top fall under the desk/credenza or tabletop category?

Mary, I'm actually not going off the list, sorry. I'm just listing all the places that aren't a bed, and trying not to list any duplicates. Just put "dresser top", I don't think anyone would mind.

Heather, I swear I'm going to raise the prediction I made in this post! You are crusing through this... which I'm appreciating, by the way, because most of the listed books are finding their way onto my "to-get" shelf.
Given that we're not even 6 months into this, I'm going to say you'll hit 60 AT LEAST!
