ahhh...you all are making me feel like I want to be pregnant again. And I was a year ago!! I don't think having another one now would be ideal but maybe in a year or two we may want to try for another. Although, everyone is telling me that 2 is enough....well, we'll just have to see about that! ;)

I finished reading and it was okay. I really hoped that it would be just as good as Mistress of Rome and it wasn't. It was more of a disappointment for me. Now, I reading . I'm still on a search for a good contemporary. So far, this isn't as light as I thought it would be but enjoyable enough.

[Regina]

We sound like we are in Virgin River right now! My husband misses me pregnant - haha - he really liked me pregnant. :)

Kay it is all what you think and want. 2 is definitely easier than 3 or 4. I honeslty can't remember 3, I was only there for 1.5 years before I was pregnant again.

[D.G.]

everyone is telling me that 2 is enough

I don't have any children but I firmly believe having more children is a decision that only you and your husband should make. Don't let anybody browbeat you!

[Kay]

I wish I was in VR right now...hanging out at Jack's bar and eating some hearty home cookin' from Preacher ;)

My hubby's Filipino and has a big family (where everyone is also your auntie or uncle! LOL). He's the youngest of 6 kids. So, he is dying for at least one more. Plus, I secretly want a girl! Hahah....but I do love my 2 boys.

thanks, DG. I honestly hate it when people tell me 2 is enough especially my MOTHER! But her personality is that way and at times, is like a 'debbie downer.' I definitely will make the decision with my hubs when the time is right regardless of other people's opinions.

[D.G.]

Good for you. :) It takes a strong personality to deal with the children question, specially when it comes from family.

I cannot tell you how many people in my family tell me I should be having children. And these are people who haven't been good parents to the children they've had!

[Regina]

It is such a personal decision - -and of course a couple decision. It is crazy how people think they can/should impose their idea of what should happen in our lives!

[Leea]

I agree. I have a lot of respect for people who know they don't want children, like you D.G. I just always knew I wanted to be a mother.

My parents are the ones who want us to have more children, well actually a daughter.

My husband and I are happy with the two healthy children we have, sure if I got pregnant we'd be happy with another.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Finished Knight and I don't know what to say about it. Leea, we will be discussing after you read it, even more than we already are now, haha.

[Leea]

Regina,

Do you think Denny is (view spoiler)[Jacks son?? OMG I'm freaking out. haha! How many kids do Jack and Mel have, I thought they had 3? (hide spoiler)]

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

And I am not having any more baby feelings. I had them so strong before I had my youngest. I would cry at the thought of not having another one.

Now, I'm so tired and busy with the two kids I have, I know I do not want any more. My oldest can have his own in a few years, so I don't want to have kids close in age to my grandkids. Sheesh. I feel old. I would be pissed to be a grandma in my 30's. My mom was.

[Jen (at last!)]

I am single and have no babies and I ache to have my own child. Someday it will happen. There's something very comforting to me holding their soft, warm, pudgy bodies against yours and feeling their chubby arms around your neck playing in your hair. My littlest nephew does that and it melts my heart every time.

I also totally respect those who do not want children. It's all about knowing what you want in life. :)

[Leea]

I finished and I loved being back in Virgin River... I know this town doen't exist but man what i wouldn't give to pull up a stool at Jacks bar and just watch it all take place. The happiness, heartache and community that make these books fantastic. Having said all this, I really connected with Lilly and Clay but then the last part of the book changed and Carr incorporated more of the other stories and was already transitioning into the next look story. It just felt rushed and I wanted more of Clay to be honest ;)

Well, Virgin River, I'm back... Regina, let me know when you want to start . Um Colin is just hot and I can't wait to read about him. haha!

I'm excited to start , I've enjoyed Kristen Ashley's books in the past and although this book was compared to Fifty Shades I still want to read it, plus I have it on good authority that he's a dirty talker and ladies, that's just hot!

[Aoibhínn]

Last night I finished by Kathy Reichs and I've started reading by Jodi Picoult this morning.

They have 2. (view spoiler)[last book Mel had the mourning period for her uterus -- but she had to have an emergency hysterectomy after the birth of her 2nd child. (hide spoiler)]

As far as Denny, (view spoiler)[I remember it being resolved somewhere before #16 -- that is where I was reading ahead but I can't remember how it was resolved, lol! I do now remember one expense of Hope's money though. (hide spoiler)]

I am almost done with Promise Canyon. I like the tension between Clay's past and their romance. The horse stuff is sweet and I don't even know about horses! and boy their sex was hot.

[Leea]

How the heck did I forget about (view spoiler)[ Mels hysterectomy she almost died and was airlifted to the larger hospital. wow! Can you still claim mommy brian if your youngest is 4? haha! (hide spoiler)]

Yeah, their sex was smokin'. I don't know much about horses either but it was really interesting to read about.

Do you want to continue the series... or take a break?

Regina and Wendy... Special Forces... Should we hold off?

[Leea]

I just finished and wow... in a that book was intense and had me up past midnight reading and I felt like crap from being sick... kind of way. Thanks, Stacia for brining this book to my attention.

I'm going to read because I just Love Kristen Ashley writing style and he take and alpha men.

[Gwennie]

I'm not ready, like I told Leea, I'm a buttface. I just finished Defiant Hero and I can't jump right into another war, high suspence story. I need to pull back a bit and read something lighter, or more even.

If you guys don't want to wait, I totally understand, seeing as I'm like the deadweight, hahahaha.

[Leea]

It's fine with me... I would rather wait for you :)

[Regina]

I'd rather wait too. :)

[Gwennie]

Okay, you ladies are so awesome. :)

Can we plan on next Saturday? That'll give me time to break it up with some stuff.

[Leea]

Sounds good to me :) I hear it's an intense read.

[D.G.]

I'm just reading short stuff until we get the Bingo announcement tomorrow. Most likely I'll read either Wool or Among the Living when I'm done with Lynda's Lace, a short erotica I'm reading now.

[Mishelle, 'The Book Bag']

Hello All My Fellow Reading Crazed Goddesses.. Sorrt for my EXTREMELY LONG Absence.. Things have been crazy around these parts, and I am just now feeling a little more grounded.. I quit my day job.. rented out our house, moved the fam into my parents house, took on major renovations, all while trying to help take care of my mom.. I am still working with the International students.. and have just started my own home business, a mobile and internet boutique.. Life has been interesting, to say the least.. But, I am now back.. FOR SURE this time.. and...

am reading and LOVE IT..

[Gwennie]

I loved that book, Shell!

[Mishelle, 'The Book Bag']

I had fun discussing the book. It's been a while since I've had a lively book discussion.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

LMAO, I hit the reply button to quote Leea and it shows the right book on her comment but on mine it's showing Batman the Dark Knight!!! I didn't change a thing!

[Gwennie]

Haha, I was super confused, like 'where did Leea say that Batman was just wow?!'

[Leea]

Hahaha! I was like... I didn't read that dang book. GR is messed up right now. lmao!

Were you talking about Knight, by Kristen Ashley?

I'm lovin' , this series might be better than the Colorado Mountain Series :) Hawk, Mitch and a hot biker hottie - Hello!

Shell, you're back!

[Kay]

I finished and . Now, I'm reading which I'm really enjoying.

[Mimi]

I finished , for a buddy-read-ish thing, and I read , which was...weird.

Leea, I'm glad you're liking Mystery Man, but that book was a bit annoying while I read it. I wanted to slap Gwennie every ten minutes. Oh, the good times!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I started .

Knight was definitely different, Mimi.

[Regina]

Those are a lot of changes Shell! Welcome back. I just requested both from the library. Not sure how I missed them before!

Stacia how far in are you? I may join you.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Regina, those are both fun books. Love the male PoV's and snark.

I just started last night and I'm only 2 chapters in. The book is supposed to be longer than Outlander though, so I'll probably use it as my "before bed" read and take my time reading it. At least a few days minimum.

You're welcome to join me though if you want to. I love having discussion buddies. :) Do you have the book already or need to get it still?

[Regina]

I have it! Cool. I have a few galleys I need to read so I will go slowly too. Cool!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

My poor galley pile is being ignored. :( I feel guilty.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Bah. GR is being such a pain today! Now my posts aren't going through. Maybe if I log off in a minute and come back tonight it will all be magically fixed.

Don't know if you saw that pic I posted in the YA group of the view out my front door but I have it on my profile page now so you can see what the setting is for the story (well if you left my suburb and went into the mountain, haha). It's a Colorado Mountain! This means I can pretend that I am actually in the Colorado Mountain story.

[Leea]

Most of her books are set in Colorado, some towns are made up :) Like Gnaw Bone?

How many pages is The Gamble on your reader?

[D.G.]

Regina - I've been planning to read White Cat and requested the print copy from the library - I wasn't too crazy about the audio although I may try it again. When are you planning to read it?

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Regina, you will appreciate the curseworkers' blowback, which is a penalty for working curse magic. I know you like it when there are consequenses for one's abilities.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

Leea wrote: "Most of her books are set in Colorado, some towns are made up :) Like Gnaw Bone?

It's 436, but each page takes 4 flips/turns before it advances a number, so that's over 1700?

[Leea]

Yikes!! Yeah. It's long but it goes by fast.

[Regina]

Mine is about 9800 locations!

[Regina]

Stacia *the pusher wrote: "My poor galley pile is being ignored. :( I feel guilty."

I know! I had to go in and decline a bunch of them. I still have like 15 outstanding galleys -- but thankfully some go into August, September and October.

[Regina]

I do! You know me well. :) I saw your review for #3 and I thought -- how did I miss this series?

Eek, I am waiting on the audio it is being shipped to my library right now. One GR friend of mine loved the audio and another (Catie) said she didn't. Hmmm, I am going to request the print too just in case. Maybe a week? Do you want to do it together?

I saw the picture in your review! Gorgeous. No matter how rural we get here in Illinois, nothing compares to that picture of yours.

[D.G.]

You guys are good...sometimes I get galleys and don't read them until month afterwards. I really don't know why they keep approving me for books.

I'm really not having any good luck with the books I'm reading. must be the most boring 2nd in the series in the history of the world. NOTHING is going on, nothing seem to make sense and I can't help but think that these people haven't showered in who knows how long.

Then has one of the most preposterous plots I've seen in erotica. I think I'll just skim it so I can delete it from my iPad.

After this, I think I'll read some fantasy. has been calling out to me and I think it can fit the Bingo Shelf for this week.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

I think Jessie Eisenburg (or whatever his name is) from Social Network is the narrator for White Cat. He seems like he'd be a voice that you'd either like or extremely dislike.

The snow on that mountain stays up for most of the year, even when it's 80 plus degrees where we're at because the difference in elevation is more than 7 thousand feet between there and where we're at - which is still a lot even at city level...there's a reason Denver is called the mile high city. Most of the front range area is over a mile above sea level. People who fly into the state often get altitude sickness while adjusting.

I actually feel like superwoman any time I go back to sea level when visiting my family in Cali because I get a 30% oxygen boost, so I'm running around high and happy.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

And I have no clue why I gave an altitude tour of Colorado just now!
