I fell asleep but then woke up & couldn't go back. I'm all caught on Twitter (I've been following all the Big Brother tweets. I'm addicted to that show). I'm also trying to decide what to read next.

I really need to finish the book ... not to say it was 'boring' but the philosophical stuff just kept going and going and I was waiting for something to happen - I will definitely finish it, so many people have said amazing things about it.

[Kay]

Hi fivesunflowers. You're in SF? So, you're awake too!

[Sofia]

I am! At work, actually - otherwise I would be somewhere underneath my covers. :)

Yes, I read it but a looong time ago...maybe in my teens (that's why I don't have it my shelves.) I should probably read it again but I don't remember how it ends. But I remember liking it even if it's REALLY creepy - and this guy becomes a serial murderer.

[D.G.]

Oh gosh that turtleneck!

[Regina]

Mmm, Stacia those pictures just hit all my buttons. ;) thanks for posting. LOL.

[Regina]

The night of no sleep -- me too! Really sucks. Luckily I am working from home. I am wearing my work out clothes and will jump on the treadmill soon.

My husband is at the park (1/2 a block a way) with the kids! He walked there (on crutches), I am so excited for him and us! Definite improvement.

Stacia, I haven't read that book. Sorry.

My first thought was that he was HER twin and thus forbidden. But I guess Silhouette doesn't roll that way.

[Regina]

LOL, that is Game of Thrones, right? :)

[Regina]

Well "Coming Soon" let's you know that there isn't a lot of angst, right? Haha, so if you want BUSINESS right away, then this is for you. :)

[Leea]

Happy Friday Everyone! It's out last weekend of freedom, school starts Monday - Yikes!

Those are just funny!!

Yay!! Regina, he's taking the kids to the park. How exciting.

My MIL is here with our niece and we're taking the kids to this sand bottom swimming area today. It's not going to be too hot so I hope they have fun!

I'm still working my way through , up to chapter 5 and I hope to read a little at the park/pool.

[Annette]

"Coming Soon" must be a very short erotica.

LOL! I'd say though that I prefer "Coming Soon" than the guy in the turtleneck.

[Gwennie]

Regina, I did notice that the language is weird. It's tough right now to follow Terrible and Bump when they talk.

I'm on chapter 3 Leea, but I'll be reading here in a moment as soon as I can at work.

[Pat]

Going to have to restart reading this one! And this time take notes! All the characters are getting garbled with their alias names...perhaps after Olympics are over and I'm not so distracted! :D

[Regina]

I promise you Unholy Ghosts readers that it is so worth it to push through. I hope it works out for both of you!

Hahaa DG. :) Quick business v. yellow turtlneck .. hmmmmm???

[D.G.]

HAHAHAHAHA!!

If it fit the bingo shelf this week, I'll read Unholy Ghosts too.

[Gwennie]

I'm curious to see if you'll like this one...

[Regina]

I am guessing no - but I could be wrong. I think Chess will drive her crazy. :)

[D.G.]

I like the author so I want to give it a try. :)

[Gwennie]

I like the Author too, which is why I chose it over the others.

Regina, I was thinking Chess will drive her crazy too.

[Regina]

I remember that Georgina did, well Georgina had it together 10X over Chess, lol!

[Stacia (the 2010 club)]

When do you think you'd read it, D.G.? Maybe if someone else reads it, I will give the book another shot.

[D.G.]

It depends on this week's Bingo Shelf...if it fits, then maybe I'll start it on Saturday...if not, then maybe middle of next week?

[Regina]

I hope it works for you. I do think it is a rewarding series. :) It will be fun to watch though!

[Gwennie]

Hahahaha, yeah. I'm only about 7 chapters in and I can already see how much of a mess Chess is.

I've read romance since I was 11 or 12... my mother had a friend who stocked books at drug stores and she was supposed to tear the covers off the "surplus" books and throw them into the dumpster. My mother convinced her to give the books to her instead. Some of them were fiction or memoirs or whatever was on the bestsellers list. But a good deal were romance and I hoarded them. This is how I got copies of my first romance novels that i would read over and over again. This was my first romance novel. My mother hated romance novels and though it was terrible and hilarious that i read them. She would make fun of me and would read the sex scenes out loud and ask me if I knew what "thrust" and "penetrate" meant. Of course, I didn't. I just knew that it was love. She used to call me her smutty girl. :)

I think that I equated reading romance with embarrassment and a little bit of shame because of the ripped off covers and my mother's teasing. I don't have any friends in "real life" that actually read the romance genre - other then the book that shall not be named - I think that when I discovered this site, i felt so excited at the thought of meeting other "smutty girls" and making friends and talking about books...

I'm not really sure what the point of all this is. I guess reading is such a big part of who I am and sometimes it feels like nobody reads anymore or they say they do but only because they WANT to define themselves as a reader. It's nice to be part of a community.

[Kay]

Aww...Ali! I don't have any real life friends who love reading like me either. Especially romance novels. I'm glad you found us. Goodreads is so fun and I've found such nice people who share the same interests.

I'm LOL'ing @ your mother asking you if you knew what "thrust" and "penetrate" meant. We all have some smutty traits in all of us here ;)

OT....I'm streaming the Olympic Opening Ceremony. I'm loving the different eras that has been shown. Especially some that reminded me of the historical romance novels that I love so much!

I have stuff I have to get finished over the weekend because it's the end of the month but if you do it next week, I'd consider joining you.

[D.G.]

Oh man! The Olympics Opening ceremony! They'll probably show it tonight on TV so I'll watch it then.

LOL Why, yes. Yes it is. :)

[Gwennie]

Okay, so I think I'm just an Adult UF kinda girl because I'm really liking Unholy Ghosts. I had the same thing happen with Kate Daniels. Everyone said that the first book was weak but I really liked it. I actually think that the worldbuilding, characters, and visuals in and are both better than .

Fever overall is my favorite UF, but I think these two have stronger starts. The world is just so crazy unique in both of them.

[Marcella]

Happy Friday ladies! I am about done with . I am in love with this book. For those of you ladies that love m/m this is a must read. Big time swoon!!!

[Ali]

Just finished this.

I read it a few years ago after my Mother in law, who is a scrub nurse, told me in horrid detail what they do to donor cadavers. It was so disturbing, I almost removed my donor sticker.

This time I listened to the audiobook, so that I could work on projects around the house while I listened. I loved it more as an audiobook then I did actually reading it.

I think I want to donate my body to a forensic body farm

[Gwennie]

My sister wants to do that too. It weirds me out, but I can see why she thinks it would be cool.

Wendy I so agree with you. I loved the first one of both Kate Daniels and Unholy Ghosts, I just know many people need to push through. If you are liking the freaky Downside world you are in for a great ride! I love Kane's imagination. She created such an amazing world.

[Kay]

Ditto to watch Regina said. You all are lucky to be reading Downside for the first time.

[Leea]

Courtney is read Unholy Ghosts too. If we get D.G, that makes 4 :)

I didn't get a chance to read but a chapter today. There's always tomorrow. I'm afraid I wond be done in time to buddy read another book on Sunday. Yikes!

[Marcella]

I'm watching the Olympic Opening Ceremonies and it is so boring. Someone please kill me now.

[Leea]

What? I keep hearing they're amazing. I love the Olympics, I just uploaded Reuters app so I can get the images on the go.

[Courtney]

Leea - Don't worry, I'm reading pretty slow, too. I just read 1 chapter today, so I'm on Chapter 6 atm.

[Marcella]

Not sure who you've been talking to Leea. The ceremony is boring.

[Leea]

Hahaha! I'm just a sap for the old red, white and blue...

[Marcella]

I'm patriotic and all that but this is painful.

[Leea]

Fast forward it... I don't watch that stuff unless it's recorded and I can fast forward it.

[Marcella]

Lesson learned. I will keep that in mind for next time.

We had it playing in the background while we were doing other stuff and it was horrible. Worst opening ceremonies ever.

Finished and the book was a trip. The ending was unexpected and I'm still not sure how I'm feeling about it. It was an interesting read though...

[D.G.]

Marcella wrote: "Not sure who you've been talking to Leea. The ceremony is boring."

It was boring and ALL over the place. It needed BIG explanations by the announcers of everything that was occurring. I told my husband that the guy who came up with that (who's supposedly a movie director) cannot be a good storyteller because when you have a BILLION people tuning in, you're supposed to put together a story that people can enjoy without a running commentary. And the business of the healthcare? WTH?

[Gwennie]

Leea, I'm already half way through it. I doubt I'll get much reading today though. I don't usually get to read a lot on the weekends.
