Currently Reading: Finished The Red Queen, and from what I can remember, it was easier to follow than The White Queen. There were a few moments of too-often repeated phrases, and I grew slightly bored at the end, but it wasn't bad. I have no desire to read the third book in this trilogy. I've already begun Jodi Picoult's The Pact, and am on the second chapter.
E-book: Kellie Kamryn's Lost In Her Mind. I'm finding this one hard to put down! Really enjoying it:)
A post yesterday caught my eye, talking about her book addiction. I commented about I had mine 'sort of' under control, and then I went off to my writer's meeting.
"Hey Molly, the library dropped off a few romance books today. Feel free to take as many as you want."
"Thanks!" I jumped up and went over to investigate.
I should say, before continuing, there are fourteen books waiting for me on my Kindle, and six more in print, plus however many is left from my grandmother's box from last December! (It's buried under a bunch of stuff, and I really do need to go through it...) So go ahead; do the math. That's twenty-plus books in my TBR pile. So what do I do?
I spot two paperbacks which call me. They are set aside. I pick up the next one. Cover looks interesting....blurb on the back sounds good....I flip to a center page and whoa! Encounter a bunch of Scottish words I cannot pronounce. This one goes back on the shelf, and I continue.
Next is a Jude Deveraux book. I've read this one; it was not one of my favorites. It goes back on the shelf, and I congratulate myself; I have only two new books to cart home!
And then I realize what I've done. Yup, broken my own rule about not getting any more books until I've read the ones I have. And I'm still plowing through the BWSNBN! So technically, that makes twenty-one-plus. And now there's two more, so 23-plus.
And I found myself wanting to go back and get that Scots book....if it's still there next week, I'll get it. But that's it.
Unless I can convince the spouse to let me buy Sommer's book; I found it on my Wish List. I thought I'd bought it, darn it....
"I, Molly Daniels, am a book addict! And no, I do not require an intervention at this time, no matter what my family says..."

Monrovia Festival
Since there was a threat of severe weather on Friday night, I opted not to set up. I did check in with the coordinator and found my slot, then went to spend the evening with friends. This is me on Saturday; I was reading Ch 8 of the BWSNBN, and you can see the traveling bookshelf behind me. This is also Kenzie's side of the booth:)
My Arbor U side:) Sandra Cox's magnets are displayed, with my box of various author's postcards and business cards behind the picture frame, anchoring it down in the wind. The only time I can put out postcards is when I'm indoors, or there is no breeze. This year has been a windy one; that's why my sign up sheet has a book on it, to hold it down!
The backside of the bookshelf. I was in front of a cafe, with the exit to my left. So I caught a lot of people's attention as they were exiting the restaurant. And the owners very nicely let me use the facilities anytime I wanted....and even had my Irish Cream creamer for my morning coffee!
My friend Tammy stopped by and chatted with me for about 2 hours; she'd loved Love Finds A Way and was more than happy to sing my praises to anyone who expressed interest:)
Taylor, the 14-y/o granddaughter of the soap-maker in the next booth. She's a born saleswoman (her grandmother had a VERY profitable weekend thanks to her!) and wanted to read Love On The Rocks during her 'down' time. I'd already bought a jar of body butter from her and wanted the shimmer, but they were sold out. But as they were packing up to leave, Taylor unearthed another jar. We did an even swap, since she wanted to read LOTR again more slowly, and was hoping her grandmother would download the rest of my series onto her Kindle, since T doesn't own one.
My friend Jan's house, where I stayed over the weekend. I'm ready to move in and take over the basement!
This is the pool in the back yard. I didn't get a chance to swim in it, due to arriving late Friday, and then the storms moving in. So next year!!!

"You Like Me, You Really Like Me:)"
Currently Reading: Finished Wendy Zwaduk's Right Where I Belong:) Enjoyed it:) If you like movie-star-falling-for-author-of-book-movie-is-based-on plots, then pick this up:) There's also a subplot of the heroine being stalked, and it kept me guessing. Was going to start Sommer Marsden's The Anniversary Present, but for whatever reason, it's not on my Kindle. So I'll have to wait till later. I need to find out why it's not on my Kindle. And I'm about halfway through The Red Queen:)
Yes, the people in this town are appreciative of authors. The BWSNBN has reeled them in, and they snatch up cards, browse the bookshelf, and take suggestions of other author's books:)
BC Brown gave me a large stack of cards; I've probably handed out half of them.
Sandra Cox sent magnets and cards; I know for a fact I handed out four of her cards plus at least one magnet. And a lot of younger readers seem enthralled by her book Makita.
I've lost count how many of my cards have walked off with Brynn Paulin's info written on the back, or even Jamie Carie's.
I'll post pics tomorrow; I'm on the road today, heading home. The parade was pushed back to 4pm, and with the band playing, the crowd hung around until seven. So I've preposted this Sunday evening, while I'm watching the Bronchos vs Steelers game (Go Peyton!)
BWSNBN:
Ch. 7:
We are introduced to the 'playroom', and I need to ask my BDSM author friends about the bed. No bedding, just a mattress of red leather and cushions of red satin at one end. To me, this does not sound comfortable. And what is 'oxblood leather'? Guess I need to google it.
He introduces her to the flogger and she wonders what would be the appropriate response 'when your potential lover is a freaky sadist or masochist?' Ummmmm.....I'd get the hell out of Dodge, lady! At least that was my reaction when I was 21 and a guy I was dating revealed he was into kinky sex acts and threesomes....that relationship didn't last long after THAT revelation!
She's depressed he likes to 'hurt women'. And in the next paragraph, she wants to please him, and have him delighted with her. I wanted to gag at this point.... She also admits on the next page that part of her wants to run screaming from the room (I cheered!), but at the same time, aknowledges 'I'm going to say yes.' WHY? Oh, I guess she's curious....
Would a Dom really sound 'hesitant' when discussing sleeping arrangements? And why would you want to be with someone who 'doesn't sleep with anyone'?
Some of her thought patterns during the reading of his 'rules' infuriate me...but I'm too tired to single them out. There's more inappropriate 'whispers' and 'murmers'. And she's queasy when she's finished.
And when she admits she's a virgin, he goes off on her. WHY? Oh yeah, I want to be with someone who yells at me for not saying 'I'm a virgin' before we've even gotten our clothes off....
And why the 'farsighted' remark in Ch 8? Makes no sense.
Then he decides to deflower her. And what follows is somewhat believable, once I slowed down to read it more thoroughly. But I'm still confused at first; she thinks he's a 'monster', but yet she agrees to continue??? Girl obviously has low self-esteem.
I LOVE how she throws his words back at him on pg 110! FINALLY she shows some spunk! But it's short-lived.
I'm not sure where the first condom went between pgs 119-120. And I'm not thrilled by all the hair-pulling he does. I'd be yelping in pain.
And again, I read this part on Saturday. So since this will be Monday's post, I'll probably continue with Ch. 9 on either Wednesday or Thursday.

BWSNBN Update
Ch 6:
Okay; it's the morning after. Breakfast has been eaten, and C is about to drive her home. And she glances at him...'he is his usual polite, slightly distant self...' and if confused. WHY? This makes no sense.
On the way to her home, C receives many phone calls, all on speaker phone, and very short and to the point. Then his brother calls. He rolls his eyes....really? If he's focused on the road, how can she see his eyes? Okay; maybe this is doable; I don't know.
She secretly call him a stalker.....he tries to tell her he won't kiss her again unless it's 'premeditated' (who talks like this, anyway?)....How can she smile at someone and bite her lip at the same time?
K asks if anything happened. Why is A suddenly irritable, then envious, since her friend DID have sex? Make up your mind, lady. You're RELIEVED nothing 'happened'! And why are you in shame because he's reserved? I'd still be in a dreamlike frame of mind.....
He picks her up the next day for their date. Then she muses he's 'telepathic', since she's obviously gazing around the elevator. But when they reach the helicopter and she sees the logo, she wonders about the misuse of company property. Helloooooo....it's HIS company! He doesn't have a 'boss' to report to, or explain why he's borrowing the company helicopter!
And since I've never been in a 'copter, I don't know if the description on pages 87-92 are accurate or not.
The closer they get to his home, the more anxious she gets, and 'hopes she won't let him down', that he 'won't find me lacking'. Yeah, I'm always concerned about this....
On pg 94, why does she admit she knows nothing about wine? Just say 'Yes, please'!!!
And the whole 'sign the non-disclosure agreement' exchange made me want to pitch the book out the window. And so does her reaction to his mention of 'playroom'.
I had to take another three day hiatus from this book! Getting ready to tackle Ch 7. I'm currently out of town, doing a three-day festival. It rained last night, so I spent the evening catching up with a good friend:)

Flashback Friday
1972:
1st grade; favorite book (according to mom) was Spaghetti Eddie; I'd gotten my shoulder-length hair cut; school picture shows my top teeth are growing in. 'Boyfriend' K is spending two years in Germany, but next door neighbor T is in my class. My bff is in kindergarten, and everyday after school and homework, she, I, and T play together.
And that's all I know at this point....
Present Day:
BB was AWESOME last night! Finally Frank is off to the jury house!!!! And so is Joe:) Now they need to get rid of Dan and Jen. Who do I want to see win this thing? Ian or Shane. Sorry Dani; I think you'll be in the top 3 or 4, but don't think you'll win.
I'm off to Monrovia for the weekend! Looks as if rain's going to drown us out tonight, but I can go hang out with my friend J, whose house I'm crashing at, and spend some quality time with her and meet the new boyfriend.
Have a great weekend and I'll check back in on Monday:)

Promo Check Up
Currently Reading: LOVED The Senator's Wife by Karen Robards! Recommended Read:) Now diving into The Red Queen by Phillipa Gregory (I slogged through The White Queen a year or so ago). E-book-wise, I'm still reading Right Where I Need To Be by Wendy Zwaduk:)
BWSNBN: I've had to take a few days off before plowing through Ch. 7. Yes, I had issues with Ch 6; I'll report back later. I wanted to pitch the book out the window, but contained myself.
I love the people of Washington, Indiana.
Why?
1) The BWSNBN (see previous posts if this is your 1st time here or see above picture) draws them in like insects to a bright light.
-"Ooooh, I'm reading that/wanting to read that/my bff is reading that!"
-"Oooooohh, have you read that?" (reads sign) "Oh, you have something similar?"
-"Ooooohhh, can I have your card? I'm always looking for new books."
-"Oooh, you've written HOW many books? Congratulations! How'd you get started?"
-"Ooooh, I just got a kindle/nook! Cool!"
2) They READ, plus invited me back for next year!
And one woman was excited when she saw my CD's, but was disappointed they weren't audio.
"I'm going on vacation in a few days and was looking for new audio books to play in the car." (Guess I need to investigate this media???)
Contrast this with the Vendor Blender 2010 (granted, I didn't have said book yet):
-"Oh, okay."
-"You're not in print? Darn."
-Looks at table, then states, "I don't read' when asked.
So fellow authors, if you're up to shelling out your hard-earned royalties for this BWSNBN, it's a wonderful promo tool! And right now, the only other BDSM book I own in print is Brynn Paulin's Brotherly Bonds, so I have it on hand as an example of 'better story, better writing.' I've written down her name and title on the back of many of my cards.
If you like public appearances, try this approach and see if your sales improve. I'll find out in a few months whether or not this is actually working in my favor....but at the moment, I'm thrilled with the traffic I'm getting!
I'm getting ready to head for the old neighborhood again; this time, different town and larger festival (3 days). I've done well at this festival in past years, so hope the weather cooperates; foot traffic is good; BWSNBN continues to bring people over; and the wind doesn't blow my tent over. I'll report back again next week:)

BWSNBN Critique: Chs 4 and 5
Ch. 4:
The first few pages were uneventful, aside from needing a mirror and a line which needed revising 'It's not like I'm beating his door down'...I think it sounds better 'It's not like I'm beating down his door'....Is this just me?
No, my major issue with the chapter is the bar scene and the aftermath in Ch. 5. So bear with me here.
At the bar, she's had an entire pitcher of margaritas, plus beer and then states she wants to step out for some air. K promptly asks, "Are you a lightweight?"
-If they've been friends for so long, K should be aware of her BFF's alcohol consumption and know this is NOT being a lightweight. Secondly, if this is normal behavior, then yeah, I'd see the 'lw' comment. But her actions belie this is anything but 'usual'.
On pg 61, theasshat hero shows up after she drunk-dials him. And proceeds to berate her for her actions. Really? Is she FOUR? And for the record, she states, "I've never been drunk before." So clearly this is NOT her habit, and I rest my case on the above paragraph. And why is she contrite? And not giggling her ass off? Or even slurring her words?
On pg 64: Why did her mother tell her 'never trust a man who can dance'? I've never heard this BS before. Who wants to date a lousy dancer? Unless you can't dance either....but I love to dance, so yeah, I don't want to get stuck on the sidelines all the time. Give me a man who can keep up with me on the dance floor:)
Then she sees K'making her move' and seems disapproving there will be 'three or four at breakfast'. Again, SO WHAT? They're 23 or 24; consenting adults. And she's 'shocked' when K moves into a stranger's arms? Again, who the hell cares if she's just met him? As if you're such a good judge of character....and why do you suddenly care if she's up on her safe sex knowledge? Not your problem sweetheart.
And I really take issue with the next morning. She's vomited; passed out; then feels 'mortified' she's in his bed, sans pants. And yet, there is Advil and OJ by her bed, and she thinks the OJ is 'delightful'. Seriously? Every one whom I've asked about this is surprised she's not puking her guts out again. And where the hell is the hangover?
And she's mad because she can't read his mind....and he speaks 'phlegmaticaaly'...she doesn't understand his anger....(let me refresh your memory; you threw up on him!)...who the hell thinks 'my medulla oblongata is not working correctly'???....and berates herself for sleeping in his bed, yet nothing happens? Again, let me refresh your memory....you threw up on him and passed out!!
On pg 70, what is the size of a tennis court? The room or the newspaper? From the way it's worded, I'd say the paper.
Pg 71: Why is she so concerned, all of a sudden, about the fact K might think she's had a one-night stand? K probably thinks 'it's about damn time...'
Why does he sound guilty for ordering breakfast? Or mad at her because her hair is wet? And she says she couldn't locate the dryer. How many hotels has this author been in? They are ALWAYS in the bathroom, and in CLEAR VIEW! It wouldn't be in the bedroom, you idiot!
Pg 72: I've heard that some of this was taken from a certain vampire movie, and some of the conversation is familiar.....
And if someone told my they wanted to bite my lip, I wouldn't find it the 'sexiest thing I'd ever heard'....no, I can think of a lot more!
Same on pg 74. "Once you know the truth, you'll probably never want to see me again..." Dumbass. And why does she jump to the conclusion he's impotent? Oh yeah, that's the first thing I automatically assume when someone's trying to rebuff me (eye roll).
Good God...she has the sudden desire to ask permission to leave the table?? Again, is she FIVE?
And was anyone else grossed out by the fact she uses HIS toothbrush? Eeeeeuuuuuu......and why the hell does she admit it on the next page?
And it 'suddenly' dawns on her....'I've slept with him!' Ummm, no you didn't. You spent the night, yes. But you were passed out, and he was a gentleman. There IS a difference.
And that kiss in the elevator? Do her hands stay pinned above her head even when he lets go?
At this point, I'm ready to stop reading this book. But being the stubborn idiot, I'm plowing through....and yes, took three days off from it.
Currently Reading: Hello Kitty Must Die was a fun read! I really enjoyed it, so go over to amazon and pick this one up:) I'm currently reading The Senator's Wife by Karen Robards. I'm about halfway through it. I need to charge my Kindle; I'm reading a Wendy Zwaduk book and can't remember if it's Learning How To Bend or Right Where I Belong.

Currently Reading: Hello Kitty Must Die was a fun read! I really enjoyed it, so go over to amazon and pick this one up:) I'm currently reading The Senator's Wife by Karen Robards. I'm about halfway through it. I need to charge my Kindle; I'm reading a Wendy Zwaduk book and can't remember if it's Learning How To Bend or Right Where I Belong.
