Ohhhh I remember you guys talking about that movie! Hmm, I wonder if you can get it on Netflix? If she threatens to boot me then I'll go looking for something shiny to post! Thanks for the tip!
I'm around 3/4 finished with Dusty... Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents. It's hard to read! I've never had this issue before, but when I read this I am finding myself looking at it from Renee's point of view. Typically these young love stories have me reminiscing about my own high school days, but this is just so tragic. I can't imagine being Bliss' mom and not knowing that all that was going on. It's simply the most destructive relationship ever and as foreign as all the hard drugs are to me I know that this is real and there are so many young girls that get stuck in these codependent relationships. (I was caught up in one of those relationships for many years through high school and some after! Glad I didn't end up marrying that guy!) I agree that Dusty would have probably been easier to take as a WIP... it's just somewhat overwhelming when you read huge chunks in a row. With that being said, at this point I'm still glad that I'm reading it because I can definitely understand all the strong feelings for this fic now! I'm probably going to have to read the published version now too. Thanks for mentioning Aha Shake... Strange title, but I am going to need to read this one too! I think this was on Demaris' favorites list too.I wondered what you meant when you said that it had the alternating POVs because I hadn't noticed it and was confused. ;-) I thought Trippin' Slippin' was simply the most beautiful story ever... probably the best thing I've read ever. Which did you like better, TSTS or Aha Shake?
Lol, I wanna live where you live hun as even though we're living nearer to a city than we ever have before all I ever see is Farmers.I love a dude in a suit. I'd do the same hun, and wonder what size he is etc, though I'm not too bothered if guys are cut or not. :DIf Booked doesn't take you up on your offer I will, especially if you line up any guys that are anything like Mr Prince Albert. I would of never of guessed that you've got a thing for Fassy. I know!!! I love The Summer Winds - my parents are massive Sinatra fans so I grew up listening to it loads.
What movie is this from? I've seriously never seen your "Fassy" in anything before... Is that grounds for getting kicked out of our club?
It's from Shame (full frontal within the first 2 minutes!!). Mrs Fassy might threaten to kick you out but just show her a pic of the hubby and you'll be fine. It's like the magpie effect.
Sadly, published books also have SPaGs. You'd think they would review it better if they expect people to pay for it. This is why am also more forgiving of fanfic writers. They do it for free so i don't mind the mistakes so much. They'll definitely get an eye roll, "sheesh", snicker or laugh from me. Real books, i eye roll and exhale slowly to get rid being pissed off.

Oh kimmie you are in the very belly of the beast now! I do feel for you....It gets hella worse before it, kinda, gets better....notice I use the word 'kinda'. I read 19 chapters (which had been posted when I found it ) and then went cold turkey until it completed. I couldn't take the drip feeding, it would have driven me mad. As soon as you finish Dusty ( and you've wiped your eyes and decongested your nose) download and read Aha Shakes....you'll find a review on my Goodread profile..it's a fairly short fic and so funny it'll blow away the Dusty Blues, I promise. I loved The Worse of Weather and Rose Like Thunder (both POVs), but, as I've said on a numerous of occasions, I'm a fully paid up member of YG's cult. And I love Trippin more than anything....Errrr? Hello?! I'm right here you know! I'll reserve the right to do a membership cull after I see what shiny thing you post...You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Well, today was Eurovision Song Contest....My lovely European ladies, what did you think of the winner? Congrats to Austria... I really hoped the Netherlands would win...

On another note: I'm reading CaraNo's Grand. Now, I'm not really sure what she's done with the rest of the series but I read the first instalment (Grand Tale) before but hadn't gotten around to Grand Vendetta and Grand Finale so I've decided to restart again from the beginning (with GT) and I have to say the part when Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents. has got to be the Dickestward to date if you don't include The Perfect Wifeward....You are not allowed to view links.

I've got like 5 chapters left... surely it can't get any worse? I'm thinking maybe it's leveling off at the bottom now? Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.A cull? I'm shakin' in my boots now and am off to find something pretty... what are the chances I can find one you haven't seen yet? Slim to none?
My favorite was Iceland, but the Netherlands was pretty good too. The Austrian comentator was pretty surprised when Austria started getting high points from several countries, and I could hear people cheering out the window with each score.My husband had to fly out today at the same time that Conchita was arriving back, and he said there was a huge crowd and confetti.To those wondering what Eurovision is - it is a combination of American Idol and the UN, each country has a singer or group/song but you can't vote for your own country so sometimes the voting can be political.
I was getting all into that story at one point, but the "Italian" was killing me. Something is written in Italian, followed by the translation. I just don't get why it can't be written that the characters are speaking Italian? IDK is that weird? I don't think I've ever read anything that includes another language. It's only in fanfiction that I see it. As if it adds to the story and makes it more authentic? In a published book it would be something like "Edward tells me he loves me in perfectly fluent Italian" or just a mention that they're speaking a different language, because what I'm reading is English.
Sorry Kimmie but this is Dusty we're talking about...yep it can get worse. 'Levelling off at the bottom' that made me giggle...why do you think all the 'fluff' ladies steer clear? There is no levelling, it's angst to the end baabyeee, sorry
I can see how that could throw you, I'm fortunate because I speak Italian so...if anything its some of the grammar that get me, though it's not terrible considering CaraNo is Swedish, in fact I have to give her props! I find it more difficult to read the words that are meant to depict a 'New York-Italian accent' i.e. "Fuhgeddaboudit!" I mean, really, what?
see, i heed warnings/comments like that!
I'll probably read the published version, too! Most likely to see what changes they felt needed to be made and if it helped the story at all. I have a real hard time letting go of the logic I have now as someone in my late 20's, so it's just difficult for me to find reason in their whole secret relationship. Yeah it would suck if I thought my brother was a loser, but I wouldn't begrudge any of my friends for wanting to date him, I'd just give her forewarning that he's an idiot and likely to hurt her so good luck to her. Dusty reads like the kind of time I wished to have when I was a teenager, but now that I'm a little older with some years under my belt I'm so glad I didn't turn out that way. I wanted to go to all the parties and hang out with the cool kids, but my mom kept me in and was nosy about all of my friends. There's mention of that in the beginning of the story when Renee starts to question Bella spending so much time with this other family, but eventually they just give up? LOL even when I turned 18 and legally an adult, I still had my mom questioning my group of friends and whether or not they were a good influence on me. Thanks, Mom!

i finished the recently published male pov of the books of abbi glines (rush too far) and tammara webber (breakable). loved reading the story in rush and landon/lucas' pov! though nothing new was added, really enjoyed it, more so since it's been a while since i read the original books (fallen too far and easy). it was great "rereading"/recalling what happened to these characters i loved.
see, i heed warnings/comments like that! you speak with a british accent AND italian. if you had a dick, i would be crushing on you, sight unseen! Loopy, can you go to London and kick the asses of those stupid blind city guys, not snapping up a catch like demaris!
Oh goodness... I was serious about thinking that the devastation had leveled off. I wasn't expecting happy happy joy joy all of a sudden but I was hoping Dusty's rapid decline had slowed! Talk about a roller coaster! Oh and I'm a fluff lady! I love fluff! Extra sugary sweet fluff! But, I think a dose of Dusty will just make me appreciate my happy endings all the more. I had been heeding the warnings and refused to even consider reading Dusty... but I read Trippin' Slippin' and just had to read more Yellowglue! Her writing blows me away! Going to post my reply in spoiler text just in case some plan on reading it later... Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
Bella Swan: The Enigma by BringAttentionToTheMatter reviewsWhen the Cullen's move to Forks they expect the High school experience they've done before,ignore people, hide their secret, don't kill the humans, but when they meat the mysterious Bella Swan, who's full of her own secrets, what happens? Edward can't read her and they suspect she knows what they are, they have to find out Bella's secrets to protect their own. ;)xxx BxE AxJ RxEm.Rated: T - English - Supernatural/Friendship - Chapters: 7 - Words: 8,856 - Reviews: 53 - Favs: 38 - Follows: 49 - Updated: 5h ago - Published: Apr 25 - Bella, EdwardSP&G!!!!! I am sure I am not alone in thinking that if you can't proofread your summary, it doesn't bode well for your story?
I don't usually read those alt POV stories, but I read the Landon/Lucas book the day it came out, and I really loved it. I felt like it added a LOT to the story! I started the alt POV for Slammed, but got bored, and I never bothered with Travis' POV on Beautiful Disaster, reviews didn't make it seem worth the time, that it didn't add much new information.Has anyone here read the pubbed version of Clipped Wings/Inked Armor yet? I know the prequel, part 1, and a side story are out already, with part 2 due out this week sometimes, and I was wondering how much was changed, if the story was maybe tightened up any.
I take it you haven't quiet finished yet?
I haven't... I'm about to start chapter 36, so 3 chapters left. (You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login) Things just took a major nose dive! Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.
