I found that retweet really depressing. Why has the love of reading been hijacked by cyberbullying? No one has the right to tell a reader how to feel about a book. Or attack them for it. Plus, I'm sorry, poor her. Only #2 FIVE times on NYT bestseller list? Why not be so incredibly proud of that achievement? Drives me nuts when people are living the dream and just can't see it.

Kay (calikay) | 1216 comments I just want to read books and read my friends' honest reviews regardless if it's about the book, author, or whatever they want to talk about. I just hope all this drama will die down but it's been going on for months :-/


message 4403: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) I find it so bizarre. And wow, that offer really is living the dream, or at least mine, lol. She used to be a lawyer, then lived in England and began writing and now is a full time writer with kids. Damn!! I want that life.

Agreed!


message 4405: by Leea (new)

Leea That is just disturbing... What happened to Corry Ann is just not right.

I'm so tired of Authors who don't like review to have their 'people' attack reviews they don't like. I'm not saying authors shouldn't get their books out there or chat with people but they way that was handled was just wrong.

Another author I wont read.


message 4406: by Kay (new)

Kay (calikay) | 1216 comments I hardly made a dent into Wanderlust. It just isn't holding my attention and i think it may be my mood. I also got sidetracked by watching the first few episodes of season 1 Downton Abbey....which is turning out to be pretty good!

Razan (razanosaurus) fallen in love .(fallen novel #3.5) i jut want to finish the series ....

Marcella (marcella6) | 886 comments Currently reading Hold Tight (Willow Springs Ranch, #2) by Laura Harner . I just love the characters in this series. Hope another one comes out soon.

Courtney  | 337 comments Kay - I know what you mean about Wanderlust. I read the first book a long time ago and barely remember what happened. It isn't holding my attention too well either :/

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) Reading Scandal's Bride (Cynster, #3) by Stephanie Laurens


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I've read some of Laurens' YA stuff but none of her adult. How are her historicals?

That's my problem too...trying to get back into the Sirantha Jax world. I read the first book in early 2011 and I forgot a lot! I'm only on Chapter 5. How far did you get?


message 4413: by Domino (aka Meme) (new)

Domino (aka Meme) (bryghtstarr) | 231 comments @Kay, i just love Downton Abbey. ready for the next season!


message 4414: by Kay (new)

Kay (calikay) | 1216 comments I'm only on season 1 but I can tell it's a good show! I'm still trying to figure out the characters and relationships...I can't wait to watch more!!


message 4415: by Kit★ (new)

Kit★ (xkittyxlzt) They're ok, so far though the heroes are all really similar and the heroines are all stubborn and 'independent'. They've all been about 3 Star reads for me so far.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Ah, those stubborn women. You see a lot of that, even though I think there were actually far less stubborn women during that time period!

I still need to figure out how to get ahold of Downton Abbey season 2.

D.G. I'm soo looking forward to Downton Abbey Season #3!


message 4420: by Domino (aka Meme) (new)

Domino (aka Meme) (bryghtstarr) | 231 comments me too D.G.


message 4421: by D.G. (new)

D.G. So the person that was supposed to go to the Philippines with me can't make it so I'll have to go on my own. I think this will make the trip easier because I wouldn't have to follow her schedule and maybe can do some sightseeing. :)

Do you have Amazon Prime? It's free for Prime members.


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) No, I don't. We do have the Amazon streaming though for our t.v.


message 4424: by Courtney (new)

Courtney  | 337 comments Hey, Stacia! I just realized that Guild Wars 2 is coming out real soon. When do you plan on playing? Just wanted to know :D


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) I need to talk to my husband after he gets back from Minneapolis. We might not start up for a few weeks if we play. Right now, we'd need to make sure we have 2 computers that can handle the game. His computer is almost 10 years old, so I don't know if it will.

I'll let you know. I also need to find out if Jenny and Hillary are going to play because we were going to try to hook up on the same server if so.


message 4426: by Courtney (new)

Courtney  | 337 comments Ok no problem! I probably can't play it on my laptop but my brother is going to be leaving his computer here when he leaves for California. It looks good though!

Same here. I didn't read it yesterday or today. Might have to pick up something else. Sorry ladies!!


message 4428: by Leea (new)

Leea We're thinking of canceling our Netflix and going with Amazon Prime streaming. We've had Prime for the last month and my husband has really enjoyed watching shows on his Kindle Fire.


message 4429: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I canceled our netflix. I'm amazon prime, I love it.

No worries....I may have to do the same but I will give it a go again tonight. If I still can't get into it, I may need to pick up another book instead :-/


message 4431: by Courtney (new)

Courtney  | 337 comments I think I'm just going to keep reading and see how it goes. I stopped reading a lot of my "currently-reading" books so I'd feel guilty if I stopped now.


message 4432: by Leea (new)

Leea I'm going to start Chasing Magic (Downside Ghosts, #5) by Stacia Kane with Wendy.


message 4433: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) Yay! I can't wait for more Chess and Terrible!


Stacia (the 2010 club) (stacia_r) Working on If I Were You (Inside Out Trilogy, #1) by Lisa Renee Jones and Eve and Adam by Katherine Applegate

Coleen Kwan | 3 comments I started reading The Cutting Edge by Linda Howard but then realised it was written in 1985, so don't know if I'll continue.

I didn't know you ended up getting one for him!


message 4437: by Leea (last edited Aug 25, 2012 09:45AM) (new)

Leea He won it at work or they sent it to him. He's now the lead person in charge of teaching his co-workers how to use their new iphones and a new operating system. So I didn't have to buy it for him and he loves it. He's reading Game of Thrones and I hunt Killers. haha!

We're kind of addicted to Amazon. This week Jim bough some Dr. Dre Head phones, got a new booster seat and some other office supplies. We're enjoying our Prime and will likely buy it for the year.


message 4438: by Leea (new)

Leea I'm really enjoying Chasing Magic (Downside Ghosts, #5) by Stacia Kane , i'm about 45% in and I love the little Chess and T moments. How he just smiles at her, his little touches in public that mean so much. That man does something to my insides. I think part of it is he's never know love before, same with Chess so these feelings are so new a special to them. They don't take it for granted.

Every time he calls her "Chessiebomb" I giggle like a school girl.


message 4439: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) I haven't even had a chance to start yet! I was so tired last night, then I worked for a few hours this morning, now we're going to have a friend over.

I'm dying. I can't wait to start! i love Terrible, he really gets inside you when you read those books. I love him so much. (LOVE how he calls her Chessiebomb.)


message 4440: by Kay (new)

Kay (calikay) | 1216 comments I had to put Wanderlust down. I picked up Past Perfect...it's a light YA.


message 4441: by Aoibhínn (new)

Aoibhínn (aoibhinn) I finished reading One Breath Away by Heather Gudenkauf by Heather Gudenkauf yesterday - It's a brilliant novel. I couldn't put it down! I honestly couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Now I'm about to start the 9th book in the Stephanie Plum series To the Nines (Stephanie Plum, #9) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich.


message 4442: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) I watched Hunger Games the movie last night. It was so amazing! I loved it. I cried, I couldn't believe how well it was done. It may be better than the movie!


message 4443: by D.G. (last edited Aug 26, 2012 12:02PM) (new)

D.G. Hello from the Philippines ladies! After traveling for more than 24hrs. now I need to wait a couple of hours before I go to sleep (right now, it's 3:02am) because I'll be working US hours and need to get used to that.

I'm sorry that I've been MIA and haven't kept up with anything that's going on, specially with you and your family Regina. I'm glad that Sebastian will be fine but I feel so bad for your hubby...losing so much muscle after it takes so long to acquire it!


message 4444: by Regina (new)

Regina (reginar) Thanks DG. I appreciate it. That is a huge time shift! I forgot how long you will be in the Philipines?


message 4445: by Domino (aka Meme) (new)

Domino (aka Meme) (bryghtstarr) | 231 comments reading Rode Hard, Put Up Wet (Rough Riders #2) by Lorelei James and i have to say this one is by far my fav of the series. i enjoy the side by side relationship growth of both couples. and of course it's def HOT!!


message 4446: by Leea (new)

Leea Have a great trip D.G.

I'm 75% into Chasing Magic (Downside Ghosts, #5) by Stacia Kane and it's so good. All the moments with Chess and Terrible are amazing.

Marcella (marcella6) | 886 comments I am ready whenever you are.
