Great review for The Opportunist. I loved the book up until the point where(view spoiler)[ she takes off for 4 years after the GF told her to. I couldn't believe that she just left. Everything that happened afterwards just annoyed me (hide spoiler)] But I did enjoy it.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Thanks Kay. Part of me felt sort of blah by the end of it, so I might have gone too high on the rating, but oh well. I think the story arc over the trilogy might put me through the ringer.

finished and now reading and doing a reread of

[Regina]

Hey everyone! How was the 4th? Canada Day?

Stuff is still tough here, the reason why I am not posting a lot - -I am working around the clock to make up for missed work and then house stuff b/c my husband can't do it. Monday is his surgery, so I am expecting it to get harder then. Anyway, sorry for a depressing update.

I am starting the audio of which is one of the free audio downloads through audiosync today/this week! I am finishing up the audio of which is good, but I like Ruby Oliver by her better.

I also finished the audio of which I LOVED.

I finished reading an arc of and I also loved it (lol). I skipped the 2nd b/c I didn't want to buy it (I won the first from librarything and got an arc of the third). I love the humor and the world.

I am also trying to knock out another arc

[D.G.]

Thanks for reminding me about Anna Dressed in Blood, Regina. I'm downloading it right now.

[Regina]

is also free today! I have been wanting to read it!

[D.G.]

Our computer at home died so we had to buy a new one. So I couldn't book our trip yesterday once my husband I decided where what we were doing. Anyhow, when I'm checking everything today...the flights are $120 more expensive than yesterday!!!

I'm so tired of this shit (excuse my French) that I'm tempted to book everything and just the hell with it.

[Regina]

I hope you had your data backed up! That really stinks.

I would book it. If the $240 plus the tax differential isn't going to hurt you and it is more of a psychic injury -- then just book and be done with it. :)

[Regina]

Audible just gave me a $10 gift for a "one year anniversary" even though I have been on hold for most of the year!

[Leea]

I'm still reading , this book is such an emotional read. I can only read a little at a time between breaks.

Regina, you're not depressing at all. We're all worried about you and know your going through some hard times. I hope you were able to have some fun yesterday.

For the forth: we just bbq'ed with friends, drank sangria while the kids played and swam. It was a blast! My husband is off the rest of the week so we might take the kids to Half Moon Bay tomorrow to play on the beach. Problem is, Jim has to call in for Jury duty so we'll see. We kept trying to do a few day trips this summer but we've been so busy. School starts here July 30th. Yikes!

D.G. i'm sorry the ticket prices went up, that sucks. Hopefully you'll still be able to go. Sorry about your computer.

[D.G.]

Well, believe it or not...I had to go to meeting and when I came out and decided the hell with it...the ticket prices went up $100 more! (per person)

I'm so freaking mad. At this point, I'll wait regardless because we're talking about $500 extra for the both of us. Stupid airlines!

[Regina]

OMG! That is a huge increase! Does your company have a travel agent you can try to use and get good tickets? Maybe that is an option.

[D.G.]

That's not a bad idea...let me find out.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Starting

[D.G.]

Gah! What a crazy day. The CEO just fired a guy because she didn't think he was a good fit (which I sort of agree) but I don't know that this was the best time to do it, specially because there's no replacement in sight! We are really busy and his department was in the middle of everything.

[D.G.]

Sorry that I've been complaining the whole day.

[Regina]

Oh poor guy (and you all!), did he get severance?

Nah, somedays are like that. Did you find out about the tickets?

[D.G.]

Yes I felt bad because he was really nice. But he definitely should have gotten some severance because he's been here for more than 5 years.

Oh about the tickets...if we move our schedule around, we'll get the price back to $1400 per ticket (yes, that was the 'cheaper' price.) But I need to consult with my husband because we had everything planned already and this would mean some changes (leaving different day, different hotels, bigger layover, etc.)

And still no computer at home! But I'll be taking the laptop home tonight so I'll be able to do what I have to do. I need to take care of this today or it will drive me nuts.

[Regina]

Where are you flying to again?

[Kay]

I finished which I loved. It was also somewhat intense so I had to switch to a lighter read. I started and finished today. I'm in search of another HR. Does anyone have any recs for an HR with a "plain jane" or "ugly duckling" heroine?

[Leea]

Have you read?

- this book was great! I remember reading the ending on a flight to Vegas, crying my eyes out with my husband shaking his head. lol!

- I read these a long time ago but they are light, fun and hot!

I had a hard time finding an 'ugly duckling' so I just suggested book, you haven't read yet. Also, I might have these so just email me.

Good luck :)

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Husbands are such turds for making fun of us!

Finished and even though it kind of dragged toward the end, I still liked it better than I was expecting. Let's hope the momentum carries this series the way it didn't for me after book 3 of NH.

Regina wrote: "Where are you flying to again?"

We're going to Lisbon and Dublin. :)

I already booked the flight and the first hotel so we're good to go. My husband ended up preferring the new arrangements (starting in Lisbon as opposed to Dublin) because we'll get the hard part of the schedule first and leave the easy part for the end. :)

Now I just need to book the hotel in Dublin. We have a hotel in mind that used to be a Castle. :)

One good thing about these cities is that the hotels are cheaper than other places in Europe. We are staying at a 5-star hotel in Lisbon, centrally located including Internet and Breakfast, and it cost around $135 a night! That's what I paid for the hotel in San Francisco and it didn't include internet or food.

[Leea]

That's great! You're trip will be fun. I've always wanted to go to Dublin, one day :)

We're off to the Half Moon Bay today, taking the kids to the beach to play.

[Gwennie]

Regina, are you reading the Q&A with Vic on Facebook? Really awesome stuff! I'm laughing as I read, I love Vic so much. It's making me so excited for the next book!!

[Regina]

I am Wendy! I just love the things JCP does for her fans. :)

I may move up my read of GhosTV -- I have been holding out. Did you ever read

[Gwennie]

Not yet, maybe I'll read that one next. I want to read it pretty badly.

[Gwennie]

I cracked up at the what was the most romantic thing Jacob's done for him, and the hummer comment. It was hilarious.

Thanks for the rec. I ended up starting[bookcover:Morning Glory|987577] which has nothing to do w that theme but it is HR. I've been wanting to read something by this author for a while and it's okay so far.

Have fun in HMB!

Cute...thanks!

[Gwennie]

It's adorable. But also, if you follow JCP's blog she's doing daily updates where she's posting it there too.

[Regina]

Oh I do follow but haven't read in awhile -- thanks for letting us know!

[Kay]

Thanks, Wendy. I just became a fan of hers here on goodreads (I just realized I wasn't) so now I will see her blog updates here :)

[Sofia]

Currently reading and (this book is really god-awful) lol

[Leea]

Ooh thanks! I'll have to like her page. I really need to finish this series, I miss Vic being a mess and Jacobs hotness.

[Gwennie]

The Q&A is really so much fun. You forget she's an author and it really feels like he's answering.

[Julie]

Just started

[Tellulah]

Read Perfect reading for a sunny day out at the park pool.

[Regina]

I am halfway through the audio of and the narration is so bad. Almost like it was a dare to figure out how bad the narrator could be and get published.

[Leea]

How do you like this series, Tellulah? It's been on my TBR list for such a long time.

Regina, that sucks about the audio book. I love the cover of that book, how her hair is up in the wind. Are you enjoying the story or is the narrator ruining it for you?

Now that i'm home, I can't wait to like JCP's facebook page :)

That's too bad because the book itself wasn't bad.

[Kay]

I saw Magic Mike last night and now I know what Leea was talking about. Hahha....Matthew Mcconaughey not pretty in hot pants. The acting and plot wasn't that great but I loved Channing without a shirt. LOL

I'm more than halfway through with and it's just ok.

I can tell that the story is good!

[D.G.]

I'm definitely not listening to the narration of 'Anna' then. That's too bad!

[Regina]

It is. Did you see my status update re the narration.

LMAO!! I know right? I will never look at him like that again. It was so bad!


I read Hummingbird a long time ago and it was just okay.

[Leea]

M.K I moved your comment to the author promotion section. Please post other promotions there.

[Gwennie]

I think that Matthew McConaughey was supposed to be kind of a joke. I thought it was funny. I mean, the hotpants and short tshirt were hilarious, we were cracking up.
