What Are You Reading Now?


I haven't tried Five Guys yet. I get mixded reviews about it.
If you love hot dogs or even burgers there's a place in Pasadena called the Dog Haus. All their dogs and hamburgers are served on Kings Hawaiian bread. Awesome!

Just finished
... All I can say it WTF.. What an amazingly bizzare jumble of poetic words.. Personally.. I didn't get it.. Not at all..
Anyways.. Just starting

Anyways.. Just starting


Wow! That's a good sis in law! Hubby works 5 min from the one in Downeyn will sometimes surprise me w/ my faves. Its so bad though, because I really need to lose weight.

We have a few Five Guys Restaurants here in Colorado, but i'm hesitant to try them. I loved Fat Burger so much and it devastated me when they disappeared, I think I loved them MORE then In n Out. I can't risk loving Five Guys and then worrying they must just disappear..
A good burger is hard to find - But to have it snatched away from you...


I had originally planned on reading this slowly - and then stopping to read a new historical romance novel set around each monarchy's ruling, as a way to discover new writers. However, that proved a little bit trickier then I thought it would be. Perhaps i'll try this another time...


I'll be starting it in the morning, Kay :)

nobody can fault u for that Caitlyn. hehe

Wow that's very generous of her to do that. Porto's is worth it.

The characters have such a deep feel, like the author is able to really provide you will so much informations about their personalities without really feeling like it's forced. I like that!





Zero Hour drags a little bit in the middle, but the world is so unique and it is pretty darned sexy. :)


I just added this book to my TBR list. It looks so good. Better get the tissues ready.

def a good read. i was recommended this one in the M/M group. there's another one with some blackmail action that seems really good. i'll read that one next. it's called




I just finished reading

Seriously ladies if you have not read this series you need to get on the Ty and Zane bandwagon STAT!!!

Marcella, I laughed at the cover, I don't think I've ever seen a book with a balloon animal on the cover. That's a first.
But sadly. No books for me. I'm banned from written books for at least the next 3 weeks. I went a bit insane last night and frogged an almost completed baby blanket. I've got a lot of late nights ahead of me. :( oh well, at least I can live vicariously through the forum.

I've no idea what you mean by "frogged an almost completed baby blanket".

Here's what it looked like about 8 days ago...

Here's what it looks like right now, after I frogged it...

It has such a great element...struggling musicians living in NYC around 9/11. It's chock full of great music and beautiful emotion. I highlighted so many passages in the book. I want this book to become a movie, but it's such a hidden gem that I'm sad to say that it would probably never happen.

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, especially around this time of the year when I have to start knitting for holidays, but I never listen to romance novels or books I'm really excited about on audiobooks because I don't even like someone else's voice or tone or emphasis on certain words to impact how I feel about a story.
For example, I listened to the first two books of Gena Showalters Darkest series and the reader made the hero sound like asthmatic Arnold Schwarzenegger and it ruined the books for me. I HATED them. I imagined them as being these deformed hunchback muscly guys sulky around chest bumping each other just waiting for women to come PUMP THEM UP!

What book does Stacia love so much? I tried to trace back and couldn't find it.

Wendy, sorry I missed your question. I am really liking Rot & Ruin, it seems less a zombie story and more a dystopia coming of age story. I am only about 40% in though. I like Benny and I like how slowly we learn what he thinks he knows is wrong.

I liked it but wish I could have gotten it from my library. Its good, but not nearly as good as her historicals. Definitely not worth $10, and I love Lisa Kleypas.


I'm about half way through, still with



Now I'm going to start


Kay and Leea, I am so excited to try out Storm!

I don't know why, but I really want Tellulah to read that one. It seems like she'd appreciate the vibe. And Wendy too now.
I can not wait for you to read Storm, Regina but read the prequel first!

I need to read:





We're actually discussing that the musician Jimmy Gnecco was Bartolo's inspiration for Paul (been watching his videos now, he's pretty good). I think it's kind of nice that the main character wasn't traditionally handsome. It makes you fall in love with the character more for who he is. Loring (the other guy) is the one who is supposed to be the attractive one.

Anyway, I'm done now. I'm on a HTKARS high again. I so want to see this book become a movie. It needs to be a movie!
A friend wants me to buddy read her other book God Shaped Hole in a couple of weeks, so I can't wait to see how that one is.
And Tiffanie plans to write another book sometime in the next couple of years, so yay for that!

Stacia, where did you find God-Shaped Hole? The only place i know that sells it in ebook is Google.

After reading it twice, I know that I will probably never read the book again. If it were to happen, it would be years down the road. My heart was put through the ringer for a second time and I don't think I could do it again.

Marcella, there's still lots of room on the band wagon....so read it!"
I will add it to my TBR list if it is not already there.
