Snow Blind was my least favorite so far. The set up and the what and why were very interesting though. I can't wait to see what you think!

You know this Leea, but I LOVE #4

[Kay]

I'm only on chapter 4 of White Cat. I'm still confused about workers. Is this a world where everyone has to (view spoiler)[wear gloves bc everyone is able to curse someone? Or is it only certain people who wear gloves? He mentioned that his professor had said something like everyone should be aware of being touched without gloves. (hide spoiler)] So, I'm confused. LOL

[Kay]

Regina...Clan of cave bear (view spoiler)[ That part was surprising for me b/c I wouldn't be able to leave my kids. I'm wondering if she will reunite with him in future books??? (hide spoiler)] Wendy...do you know if she does??

[Regina]

I am not sure what chapter I am on bc I am listening to it, but I think I am past that b/c he is no longer at school. (view spoiler)[I believe that within the magic community, certain people can curse and that is his family. But I could be wrong b/c I am only at the beginning too. (hide spoiler)] Anyone else?

[Gwennie]

Through book 5 in the Clan of the Cave Bear series, she had not, no. She dreams of (view spoiler)[him and stuff but they are not reunited. As far as I hear of the last book, they never are. The thing is, she had to leave, she had no choice she was banished. Durc had family there, they accepted and even loved him through out the Clan. As Ayla moves on to her people she kind of finds out how Clan people are treated like animals and looked down on terribly. So had she forcibly taken him with her, his life would have been HELL. So, as heartbreaking as it was, it really was for the best (hide spoiler)].

[Regina]

Thanks for that Wendy. (view spoiler)[I agree she set it up so that we would feel it was a good decision (everyone loved him, nursed him and the women were willing to rebel for him on several occasions) but I still have trouble with it. Especially when he was screaming for her. (hide spoiler)]

[Kay]

Thanks, Wendy. Regina, that part was so sad to me :(

[Regina]

Me to. My heart was hurting and I was crying. I don't think I can go on.

[Kay]

I might get to the remaining books someday but probably not right now. Like I said before, the books are soooooo long!!

[Regina]

I really liked the method of storytelling and the world, I just can't endure the emotional pain. I am a wimp.

[Kay]

yeah, it is emotional. I have to be in the right mind set before I start any sort of emotional book. That's why I love HEA books so much. At least I know the outcome will be a good one even if it's a hard journey before they get there.

[Gwennie]

Don't get me wrong at all, every time I read it (and I reread that one a LOT) it rips my heart out and I sob. I just meant to say that as the story goes on you kind of find yourself glad that he stayed behind.

[Leea]

... I'm up to chap 5 (I think) i'm reading it slow because it's not grabbing me like other books do. It could also be because it's a slowly giving me information.

(view spoiler)[From what I can tell, he does not know if he's cursed. He just had a dream about the girl he killed, Leila (or something) she was a white cat. He's going thru his mothers/fathers house and that part is so interesting. How he described the house and all the items in it. I believe if you don't wear gloves then you can curse someone.
Have you noticed how he found the pictures of women in underwear with long gloves on his brothers computer? it was funny! (hide spoiler)]

[Regina]

Wendy can I quote you to the comments on my review of Clan as to what you say above?

[Gwennie]

Sure... go for it!

[Gwennie]

I just went and read the conversation. I'll admit that Catie hit it on the head for me. I understood why she (view spoiler)[left (hide spoiler)]. But I always hoped you'd (view spoiler)[find out or they'd reconnect and I guess people have said they don't (hide spoiler)]. It's why I haven't read the last book, and I'm not sure I will. It's the biggest of the disappointments for me.

[Regina]

Exactly Wendy. And for me, Catie always hits on the head! It was a huge disappointment for me, so shocking.

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

About Curseworkers...this is supposed to be an alternate world of what we know, so it's not specifically our world. That's why there's a cameo of Jace from Mortal Instruments, but he's going to a curseworking school instead of being a shadowhunter because he's an alternate universe Jace.

The curse working world seems to be regulated. The government knows about it from what I can see but you have to be careful if you have certain "working" abilities because there are some the government will try to control or exploit. If you're a known worker, you need to wear gloves in public.

Okay, take two on the book I mentioned in the wrong topic and had to go back and erase!

= win. There were a few cringe worthy terms but the love story was sweet and the sex was hot. It's going up on the list with my few favorite erotica.

Leea you have to read it! What other series from her do you recommend?

[Regina]

Thanks Stacia. :)

[Domino (aka Meme)]

started a good book by a new author for me . it's starting out really great and making my fascination with Scottish men even bigger =D

That series was good Meme! You will enjoy it I think!

[Leea]

White Cat: Well i'm almost half way thru and the author didn't make it all that clear so far. I'm loving how dark it is, how Cassel is unclear about his dreams, and how Lila (view spoiler)[Murder is still on his mind and that he's struggling with it still. (hide spoiler)] Parts I still don't understand and I know that it might be revealed later but right now i'm still in the dark.

Laura, Kristen Ashley books... I've only read these


- more dark erotica

I liked them all, a few books had some editing errors but they were minor IMO. Also the Colorado Mountain series is very detailed and long. I loved Mystery man, it's smokin' hot and funny!

I really want to read , so if you want to read it with me, you're more than welcome.

[Carina]

My 5 cents on White Cat:
I read it on November 2010, but I do remember being confused and not getting really into it till like 70-100 pages in. Its a confusing world they live in, and nothing is explained to the letter, so I understand what you guys are going throu.
But the book (IMO) gets much better. And then the ending! OMG, that was a good ending, and I totslly didn't see it coming....well enjoy! haha

[Kay]

thanks, Stacia & Carina. It's a little more clear after I read your posts. I'm still reading slowly.

My hubby just called me about 50 shades of grey. I had explained it to him a few days ago after he saw some of it on the news. LOL Apparently, the girls from his work asked him if I had it since they know that I'm a reader and they want to borrow it from me. It's just so weird that everyone is still talking about this book. Especially my hubby's co-workers (a group of accountants!) LOL

[Leea]

Thanks Carina, I figured it was something like that because it gets rave reviews.

Also, GR ate my post... Not sure why the books I posted above were one on each line because I didn't make them that way. Strange?

Thanks Laura. i'm already wanting to learn more about the tall redhead (if he has a book), i just love redheads =D and the blond malicious one Angus sounds intriguing too.

Had the same conversation with my husband. LMAO! I think I said something like 'huh, i've read better erotica' **His expression was priceless**

[Regina]

Kay and Leea that is hilarious.

I have told several people that too. I think DG had a great theory, the cover makes it seem very discreet and my theory is just the publicity and I think generally that readers didn't know that erotica could be softcore for women and that it could be sent it modern times and end with a HEA.

[Carina]

There was a RADIO discussion about Fifty Shades the other morning here in my town O.o

I really liked book 1, but I really can't believe everyone is talking about it now, and that its being made into a movie.

[Kay]

It's so true about the cover. I wonder if these new readers know what they are about to read. LOL

I still crack up about that video clip on the Dr. Drew show about 50 shades. His expressions were so funny!!

[Carina]

I need to look up that clip! haha

[Kay]

Leea posted it awhile ago. I can't decipher through all her posts. I just googled it and here it is: http://www.hlntv.com/video/2012/03/07...

[Carina]

Oh wow, that was hilarious! Thanks!

[Aoibhínn]

I've just finished Hot Six by Janet Evanovich, now I'm reading Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

Not only the cover but the title. Fifty Shades of Grey sounds a lot more deep than "The Virgin's Surrender" (by the content, it could also have been called something like that. :)

[D.G.]

I'm loving To Kill a Mockingbird. I'm also enjoying Snow Blind but it's not as good as the rest of the series. I will probably give it 4 stars because I just realized today that I love Gino (I really do) and I envy Leo because he gets to spend so much time with him.

[Regina]

I wish I allowed myself to eat like Gino.

[D.G.]

Regina wrote: "I wish I allowed myself to eat like Gino."

LOL, so true! I laughed out loud with the part where his daughter told him her friend thought Leo was hot. Then I was all...awww! while they were talking.

I really enjoyed this trilogy Domino. By the end of the third I was hoping for a 4th, 5th and so on.

[Marcella]

Hello ladies! Long time, no see.

I have wrapped up a couple of books. The first being . I really enjoyed the story and the premise was very unique. However, the ending was a major let down. That was the most anti-climatic ending to a book I have ever read. And as a reader I feel extremely cheated.

I also finally finished . I really enjoyed this book. Although it was way too long for my taste, the story and the characters really sold me. It had been a while since I read a Stephen King book. His books are usually way out there for me but this is one of his gems. I highly recommend this one ladies!

Marcella wrote: "That was the most anti-climatic ending to a book I have ever read. And as a reader I feel extremely cheated."

What was that, Marcella? I didn't have any problem with the ending but I don't remember the particular details.

[Mimi]

Wait, 50 shades is being made into a movie? WTH? The book is made up of sex, it'd be like...porn or something. And Outlander still hasn't?

[D.G.]

They would butcher Outlander in a movie. Now an HBO series...

[D.G.]

Finished Snow Blind which was good but not great. Now I need to figure out which audio to read next.

[Regina]

That was my impression too. It was also really short.

[D.G.]

I think I remembered you saying that your version was like 5 hours but the one I listened was 7 and change. It was still short though.
