Closet Marshmallow!
Hahaha Gisela! But you're right. Cam is a closet marshmallow! I've come to realize, I like Cam more than I like Ian. And I LOVE Ian ;)

I had a look there first shosho, but Sunshine Coast library has a crappy selection. They only have #1 and #24 of the In Death series available in audiobook. I spent $18 on the Rapture in Death book from Audible and I felt guilty, knowing that I already have it as an ebook, but I'm curious to see if I'll love it as much as everyone says with the audiobooks being so good.
hey shosho... do you have to live in Brissie to join Brisbane library?

Haven't started it yet. Will let you all know how I go.

I know, right? I loved Ian too. But there's just something so broken and wanting to be fixed about Cam that draws me in. He's easily got a place in my Top 10 book boyfriends.
CaroB wrote: "hey shosho... do you have to live in Brissie to join Brisbane library?"I believe so but to use the electronic resources you only need a membership number. My husband never uses his, let me check and I'll email you the number and the website
What was the audio book you listened to and didn't like CaroB?
After Goodnight Twitheart I don't want to read anything. I've been looking at my tbr but I can't get myself to start anything!!

lol will do.

? I read this after and read it in one sitting.

No, do you recommend it? :D
Yes its an easy read with some funny bits in.
As promised. My Beautiful Disaster review.Right now I'm reading a Finnish book
and an ARC
I really like how Hannah Harrington writes.

That'd be fantastic shosho! Thank you!
shosho wrote: "What was the audio book you listened to and didn't like CaroB?"It was Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. The way the narrator did the accents ended up driving me insane... and it was so slow... and I fell asleep a few times listening to it. And I freaking love that book... which probably worked against it as well, I should've tried something I didn't know so well and didn't already have an emotional attachment to.

Did you get it? I sent it to your email this morning.
And I checked you don't tned to live in Btissie to join. But feel free to use that number, it hasn't been used in 5 years : p
Cam and Ian who? You are all driving me crazy (I know, I know: short trip). I tried to ignore it... but I lost the train of what series you are talking about.
Of course, the GRs bug that displays/recalls the wrong book doesn't help matters.

No shosho, I didn't get it. But if you don't need to live there to join, I might just give them a call myself tomorrow morning and join up :-) Thanks so much for the info!!
Lisa Kay wrote: "Cam and Ian who? You are all driving me crazy (I know, I know: short trip). I tried to ignore it... but I lost the train of what series you are talking about."Ian from
The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie and his brother Cam from a subsequent book in the series.

CaroB wrote: "snap Susan :-)"It was a matter of who typed the fastest LOL
LOL! You all are great. Thanks. I have that series. Love Ian. Yes, even got that book on audio for a "re-read" - but haven't listened to it yet!
I'm reading the much talked about
. It's actually kind of sad, I went to go see the movie first! But I'm loving the book thus far.
I actually liked the movie better than the book in this case. Very rare occurrence.
I just finished reading
and now I'm figuring out what to read next
Abby wrote: "I just finished reading and now I'm figuring out what to read next"Love that cover! I love a tattooed badboy. Abby, did you like it?
I finished
, which I didn't like, and I also finished
because I was curious about it so I borrowed it from a friend. Definitely not my type of thing but it was thought provoking.I have no idea what to read next.
@ Rameau: thanks for posting the link. Off to read the review...
~Megan~ wrote: "I actually liked the movie better than the book in this case. Very rare occurrence."I'm almost done with the book myself and I've enjoyed both of them. The movie follows the book pretty well actually! I really enjoyed the movie!
Finished
was really good want to start the next one but still got some books to read :-( Starting

I loved the first 3 in the series, all 4 or 5 starts for me , but the fourth one
was a DNF for me!! have you read that one?
~Megan~ wrote: "Oh no, it's awful, shosho??"well I didn't like the plot to start with , (view spoiler) I thought the story didn't have anything to tell and I didn't like the characters and their chemistry together!!!I didn't like it so much that I didn't even add it to my DNF shelf!
Heard a lot about these giving them a try..
Abby wrote: "Heard a lot about these giving them a try.."One of my very favorite series, Abby! They get better and better!
CaroB wrote: "Oh no! A Did-Not-Shelf DNF?"Unfortunately yes!
I've been contemplating getting that one, Abby. Will be interested to see what you think.
Reading
. So far it's interesting and a good read, but I'm just not getting enough reading time in so it feels like it's taking forever.

I'm still having a case of reader's block!!! I can't start anything, instead have been spending a lot of time on GR!!
shosho wrote: "I'm still having a case of reader's block!!! I can't start anything, instead have been spending a lot of time on GR!!"Sorry to hear about your reading block, have you tried reading something different then your normal types of books?
I've been spending a lot time here too, my fiance says I spend more time here and getting more books to read then I do reading. Lol. I can't help it this page is addicting.
