I liked the submissive okay. Haven't read the Dominant yet, mainly because I thought the Submissive was just okay, and even though it's EPOV, I didn't want to re-read it.

People Like Us has been recommended to me about a dozen times. I've tried to read it twice and can't get into it. I've only gotten to the part where they both realize they are into the same things. For me, it just wasn't very well written, and the dialogue is just way to cheesy. I can't bring myself to even try to get to the good parts, much less finish it.

Just to add my two cents, I hated the way it ended.  It seems she ended it to sequel and yet decided to initiate a new story before doing the sequel - too many chapters and too many loose ends.  Agreed it was just good but good editing would make it better.

I've read a few that were pretty badly written, but I forced myself to finish it because the story itself was good, and if I had gotten to the good parts I probably would have finished it, just didn't make it that far.

Some that have recently been recommended I have loved though:

The Man That Could Not Be Moved
Words With Friends
The Office
The Plan

My favorite Wards are CEOWard, TattWward, AThleteward and then Actorward.  I love them when Edward's an A$$ and Bella is Snarky and strong the most. But I also like the ones where they are both damaged in some way and end up growing stong together. I will pretty much read anything as long as it's well written. Abuse, cheating, and rape won't turn me away from a story, as long as I am going to get a happy ending, mainly because I like when a story can make you feel really strong emotions, whether they are good or bad.
I've read really well written stories that I couldn't be bothered to finish because they didn't really make me feel anything one way or the other. For instance I just read (most of) Royal Rebellions by xNimC. Great story, Bella was hilarious, but it just fizzled out near the end and I dropped it with only about 60 pages left. It got to the point that I just didn't care about the characters anymore.

And did you ever read Help Wanted by Jaxon22 - if you liked TMWCBM, you will probably like it as well. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

And I will take any rec's on snarky Bella

One of my favs (that's not yet been mentioned) is from A Matter of Trust by quietruby. He's just so damn sweet and sexy as fuc- well, you know . . . *t.h.u.d*

And it has one of the most horrid Renee's ever written. I came up with nearly as many torturous ways for her to die as I did for James in A Form of Escapism by Flubbles. Though QR and Flubbles always seem to think my ideas a bit over-the-top . . . can't imagine why?? 
Bwahahahaha 

A MATTER OF TRUST: After playing by the rules and losing the game, Bella Swan sleepwalks through her life. Can a chance meeting with Hollywood’s hottest actor on a stuck elevator reawaken her?
 

I've had this on my to read list.  Or at least every so often I think about reading it.  My TBR list has kind of disappeared into the mess that is my computer.  If my computer could be on TV, it might make it to Hoarders or at least "Clean House"   

Sigh, I will have to move it up. After Strings, and whatever else I started to read on my nook. 

I can feel your pain. I've had 2 computers drop dead over the last 2yrs (I'm tech-cursed JSYK) I had my HD's dumped in hopes of salvaging what was on them (but never had the chance to sort it). Add to that several hospital stays, where many (many, many, many) friends attempted to find stories and such on my computer and the resulting chaos would send the most organized person into a tail spin. But I fully intend on ignoring it until they come out with a self-sorting computer. Wanna join me in the land of denial?? It's quite cozy, just pull up a chair. 

As to A Matter of Trust - I loved her Edward. He's a British actor working in the states, slightly younger than Bella, adorable as a frickin puppy, and hawt as he11! He has a lot of Rob qualities mixed in with Edward's - especially when it comes to the fame thing.  I will admit I enjoyed it better the second time thru. First reading was as a WIP and Renee had me so pissed off - waiting for updates was bloody torture. 

Empty by willyoupleasebequiet was pulled by ff recently. I only have chapters 1-8. Does anyone have any more than that? Thanks so much!

I know someone already commented on Pet Peeves in fics about Edward calling Bella 'Love' too soon *huffs* hate flouncing a fic because it was the second thing he said to Bella  Dammmmit, it was a good story line *huffs*

But I can't figure out the best way to organize them - by title, by author, by type of story, by type of Edward, etc....  They are primarily E/B stories, but there are a few others that either got downloaded because I just grabbed everything by an author I like or because someone rec'd it.  Maybe someday I might read something other than E/B but not yet. 

So I will be happy to join you in the land of denial - hey! these chairs are really comfy......
