Dee, it's also available at Fictionwise and right now there's a 30% off code-Fictionwise code:
- 30% off all eBooks! Expires: May 28 - it comes to about 5.60 with code.
Code- 052512
Well, I'm in! I love the sound of this book - reminds me of The Locker Room, but then not (if that makes sense)!I have always thought Loose-ID was pronounced in 'full' - will have to retrain myself! Thanks Dee :)
Thanks Fran for the discount code - I hadn't got around to searching for it yet... ;)
Does anyone have a preference for timing?
I thought it was Loose ID, pronounced two words too! I think I will always say it in my head that way :)Any time in the month of June is fine with me.
since MK was nice enough to give a GLBT category for the pick it for me, remember to throw this book out there guys - maybe we'll get some newbies
LOL - the die hards ;)I'm not in the PIFM again... I love picking the books for others to read, but I'm a bit slack about reading the pick options for me :(
i might have convinced Jim to come and join us ;)
Great! Actually Jim should like these sort of books - they are contemporary and are no heavier on erotica than most M/F books. Not sure about this month's pick as I haven't read any books by Kate McMurray...
niether have I - i need to read my bingo book and then i'm going to start this one i think
Bought it just now- Fictionwise 45% off! Code- 060112
Fran - how are you feeling today?
A little achy but ok, thanks Dee :) it's the thinking of how much worse it could have been, how lucky we were...need to try and shut my brain off for a while.Now getting behind the wheel again....can't picture it.
Keep focussing on other things Fran... Hopefully it will start to fade.
I've just bought the book (courtesy of Fran's FW code ;), but I also have to knock off my m-preg bingo book... It's pretty funny so should be finished by end of today. I can start after that, too.

Jane what one u reading? I really liked sacred fate by eresse
Everyone rec'd Sacred Fate, but I read Scales And A Tail - I couldn't go past it's ludicrous set up! Just finished a couple of hours ago :) ...A white shifter bunny obsessed by sparkly objects mated to a shifter dragon prince... It's a Glen Stormy book - I know a lot of ppl avoid her writing, but this is my first book by her I think. I'm still reading another one by her - I'm halfway through but my reading on that one has been really disjointed - through no fault of the book - just circumstance...
Jane - you should really read Sacred Fate ;) but then i'm not a stormy glenn fan, i just laughed at the one mpreg one by her I read
Well I definitely laughed during Scales & a Tail - but I was meant to :) I will read Sacred Fate one day - perhaps someone will rec it to me - or for another bingo category... I'm not overly interested in the mpreg concept, so don't want to use up all the good stories at once!!!
Just finished Out in the Field. I rated it 3.5 stars - shown as 4 stars. I enjoyed the book but when it came to writing a review, I really had nothing to say... Hmmm, maybe I should rate it 3 stars? Yup, changed to show 3 stars.

lol...i'm hoping to start tonight maybe...so fingers crossed
Pushing this one off until next week....
Hey - you two often enjoy some books more than me, and vice-versa, so please don't be put off. Most ppl rated it as 4 or 5 star ;)...I think my reading might be becoming more quirky ;) (Think A Matter of Time, Fran)
I am only 11% in and I like it so far. Hoping it continues....Part of what I like about it is the setting. It takes place in NY, all of the references so far are familiar to me. I have two brothers and two sons that are baseball fans, as well as a Dad and husband who also follow it. So the whole feel is familiar to me. One of my sons is actually at a Yankee game right now, lol. (even though we are Mets fans!).
OK Jane, we differ again! I loved it! I loved the setting, the guys, the heart-warming if somewhat unrealistic HEA.I really enjoyed the peek into what closeted pro athletes go through- the lying, the self-loathing because of the lying, the difficulties of having any kind of long-term or meaningful relationships. It's obviously so difficult, and you feel their anguish.
The ending was slightly fairy-tale but that's the way I like it! Perfect for me :)
4.5*
LOL - well there you go!! I'm really pleased you liked it so much, Fran... There's hope for you Dee ;)
lol, once I finish up Lover Reborn i'm planning on starting this...which will hopefully be tonight, i'm about 75% of the way through LR
Hey Dee - have you finished reading this yet?And what about next month? Does anyone have something they want to nominate for this buddy read?
no, i'm soo far behind this month...lol, I have it and my PIFM books for the m/m group still to read - this weekend, I hope
LOL - I feel for you, Dee - but no pressure :)Ok - here are some of the books I am planning to read soon (next few months), to see if anyone is interested in buddy-reading them...
The Dark Angels: With Wings
The Long Way Home
Some Kind of Magic
Talker
With a Kiss
Nowhere Ranch
Mexican Heat
Our December
Hounded by Love
At Piper's Point
Out of Bounds
The Heart of Texas
Burn
Fran? Dee? Anyone else? Do you have any books you'd like to throw out there?
Hi Jane!I have Talker so I vote for that one. But if you decide to read something else it's fine. I really liked At Piper's Point and Out of Bounds, I'll jump in and chat about those if you pick one of them.
you guys pick...with bingo - I have no idea...lol! i'm in a bit of a reading funk right now
Dee wrote: "you guys pick...with bingo - I have no idea...lol! i'm in a bit of a reading funk right now"Have you read Talker, Dee?
I'm not hung up on any book - feel free to throw in suggestions...
i have, it was ok...i'm not a huge AL fan like others are though
The other option is GuttersnipeIsa K is railing against the publishers... It's not necessarily something I would choose to read (mainly because I'm not into slave themes) - I'm going to give it a go though if it isn't too long :) If you sign up to the challenge then she'll email you a coupon for 60% off. Here is where you sign up: http://www.guttersnipe.info
(she promises not to chase you even if you don't complete the challenge...)
So that is another book that is a bit out of left field :)
ehhh...i have certain opinions about her i won't post here...
Here are a few I have on my tbr if you guys need any more choices to throw into the ring, LOL!Break and Enter
St. Nacho's
Stirring Up Trouble
In Bed With The Boss
Frat Boy and Toppy
Faith & Fidelity
Thief

So we'll can the guttersnipe option... I wasn't sure that I'd fit it in anyway...

I'd be interested in Frat Boy which I don't think Dee has read...
Will we go with Frat Boy then?
I'm in for this one. :) I've finally gotten rid of some of my stresses. :)
LOL Shell! Glad to have you rejoin us.Are you in for Frat Boy and Toppy or do you have time to read Out in the Field in the next 3 days? :)
I'll shoot for Frat Boy. I think I'm gonna tackle some of my other books in the next 3 days that have been piling up, if I can ever surface from audioland. :)
i finished up Out in the Field last night - overall I enjoyed it - I think that the author did a good job of identifying how people in the spotlight (in general) often have to hide who they truely are (unless you are Snooki or one of the Kardashian idiots). it wouldn't surprise me real soon to see a big named sports star come out of the closet...who it will be...anyones guess...I'd def. check out more by her in the future
I'll post the Frat Boy read later today if everyone is happy with that choice :)
