You should :P

Oh and I just read your discussion above about Nora Roberts.
My aunt gave me the whole MCGregor series as a present one day and I read the first and the second book, but then I couldn't do it anymore, because it was always the exact same story just with different names ^^

I made it through the rest eventually and I hope that the rest of her stuff isn't that similar.

Oh and speaking of those hot sex scenes: Read the "Sex, lies and online dating" series by Rachel Gibson. I usually read books like this when I don't want to think and just relax, but I actually liked those four books a lot. And the sex scenes are really hot :hotred

Ooh, I love that book. :)

You've got a pm :D

And I am not really that much farther with "The time travellers wife" yet. It's the only paperbook I've got here and somehow I always end up reading the books on my palm. Where did the good old days go, where I kept reading with a flashlight under the blanket?!

At the moment my palm book is A.E. Maxwell: "Just another day in paradise". So far it's pretty random

Very kind of you :D

And I have started reading "Emma" again, because we are reading it at university.
I have to admit though that the perspective here is slightly strange for me at times.
The professor asked what they thought of the first chapter. Nearly everyone raises his hand and then they said stuff like "There are faults in this book! The author wrote many words not correctly" (can't remember anymore which word is was). And I was like "It was another time with another orthography, duh! There was no standart yet"
Then the next thing was "She describes Emma as "handsome". Why does she describe Emma as handsome and not as beautiful? Only men can be handsome, women are beautiful".

I was groaning on the inside. I mean, hello, these kids are reading JANE AUSTEN for the first time and all they have to say is that her orthography is wrong and the word "handsome" is usually used for men? Jeez! :bash

I haven't read the Time Traveler's Wife--want to! I keep hearing how fantastic it is.

I'm still being a literary book worm. haha Reading Sense and Sensibility. But I'm balancing it out with some silly YA--Dramarama by E. Lockhart, about a summer at theater camp. haha

Akarana, that's pretty horrible. :( They at least know who Jane Austen is, right?

Hello all... I'm reading "1st To Die" by James Patterson , which I didn't know at first that this was the author of "Women's Murder club". I enjoyed that serie, it was a shame it only had 8 episodes or so. I like the main character the brunette, she's really good as a cop.

I want to read also the 2nd and 3rd book of the serie "The girl with the Dragon Tatoo", have you seen that movie?. It's a Sweden movie, I think they are planning a remake in the US. Very good movie.. !! it's tough but it's very good.

Be back with more !!
I live for this stuff !!
