Just cruising by to say all is well, and miss you all. Still working obscene hours, which leaves little time for sleep. I haven't read any fanfics in over a week other than updates to wips. Oldest son heads to basic training Monday. GAH !!

I expected to sleep in Sunday morning, even took sleeping pills to ensure I did. Well that didn't work, I was up by 7am and I went to be at 2.

Sat morning while sipping coffee in complete quietness, I started a new series. Been on my Ipad ages, and I wasn't sure what I would read. I am still stuck on chp 24 of Broken Angel. Been reading it since June. But I don't think I have ever flounced, but then again it isn't getting read either. So I brought up the Lux series by Jennifer Armentrout. The 1st book was more of a novella at around 100 pages, so I thought that would be perfect. It is YA so if you need a lemon break, it's perfect. However, 4 books in 3 days, I have learned she is queen of cliffhangers, and when I got to the end, I immediately started the next one. It is paranormal YA and I just learned that it has a movie deal. I didn't know that before I started.
One of the girls has some characteristics of Alice, but to me that is where similarities end. Good writing and great plot development has meant 1-2 hrs of sleep for me. Now I am starting the last book published and I am biting my nails. What will I do until Summer 2014 when the conclusion to the series is published? I know I will be left with a cliffy.

I would add the series to your list. I am pretty stingy with 5 star ratings at goodreads and super shocked that YA books are getting them.

Loop, I missed this somehow! I loved that album...I think that is why Dusty holds such a special place in my heart, I bought that first album in 2003 and haven't looked back. The first time I saw them live though was 2004 Glastonbury....until last week; Christ! Almost 10 years! There was a 22 year old next to me that had seen KOL 36 times! When I was 22 I could barely afford to buy a CD! Shhheeet...

I love Clint. His post spaghetti westerns movies are really good. Million dollar baby, Gran Torino, Cry Freedom just to name a few that I like.
Did anyone see his wife's reality show on E. let's just say it was different. She is a pack rat. I mean, they were all crazy. Clint made a few appearances and I never saw Scott. I think he is from a previous marriage. I remember an older daughter too, Allison, I think, she is older than Scott.

I just started a new fic and I wanted to share this tidbit from the second page:

"As he fully vacated his Jeep, it was hard to miss how tall he was. I was already tall at six foot two, but Emmett was well over six foot four. He practically hovered over me."

So. . . He fully vacated his Jeep.  Strange description but then it gets stranger.  Emmett "practically hovers" over Edward because he's over 2 inches taller. ??  Are inches measured differently in this author's world?  I mean, she did say it was AU, but. . .
 

You think that is bad I have just started and stopped reading a fic in which -

""What am I Bella?" Crouching in front of me inches from my face.

"My mate my lover" I said softly, still crying.

"What else?" he demanded.

"My vampire daddy, very soon" He held my face now so I had to look in his eyes.

"Yes, what does that mean?"

"You are my alpha, and I am you baby girl"

"Correct, what did daddy tell you about us?"

"That I was to be good, and you would give me lots of nice things, and we would do lots of wonderful things, travel, be lovers, and married too" I hope this was what he wanted me to say.

"And" he asked very sternly."

"You would be spanking my bottom, for as long we existed, if I was naughty"

"Have I been?" Still holding my face but gently now.

"Yes" a slap to my bottom, "Yes daddy""

And that was one of the better scenes.   

You think that is bad, I have just started and stopped reading a fic in which Edward has just meet Bella and given her a mighty spanking :-

""What am I Bella?" Crouching in front of me inches from my face.

That's so bad! 

And such a contrast to the books I'm currently reading--I'm just starting book 5 of Ava Claire's You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login series. This woman knows how to write a spanking! So far so good, only 7 parts left to go...

Its Bus Stop by Oona4. Bless her she does try -

""Darling tonight we are going to mate fully, as well as make love, it will be intense. I don't want you to be afraid of me, you must tell me if I do something too hard, or scare you"

"I promise daddy"

"No BS I could hurt you" standing on her tiptoes she kissed me, flirted with me with those awesome brown eyes.

"My big bad vampire man, is going to make me his woman tonight, and in a few months just like him, to be with him forever correct?""

I know, the poor love but she obviously enjoys writing as she seems to have loads of fics on the go.

Well, she already broke one of my rules - starting tons of fics before completing any... 

On my black list... 

I hope she is just new to this and maybe she will get better
