I'm reading Out of Her Head by 1blue25.  So far so good.  Not many SPaG errors.  A little angsty, but not bad so far.  And for a third person story, I'm not feeling the need to flounce.  The third person stories usually drive me crazy quickly, but this has been good. If that makes any sense.

Thanks for the rec on this - I'm really enjoying it.

Have you read KA's other books?  I love everything I've read by her.  I love, love, love Knight, also by Kristen Ashley.  Have you read that one?

I just finished reading this based on your rec, SO good! Will have to read more of her work as this was great. I felt the dialogue was strange in places, but Knight made up for it. Thanks for sharing! (even if it wasn't with me )

Thanks for the rec on this - I'm really enjoying it.

You're welcome.  I finished it this morning and have moved on to Nineteen Canvasses which I am also liking so far.  It is by Carson1 & has been on my TBR list forever.  I will slowly get through all of them. 

Ummm - what's the "T" word? I have gone through my (extensive) vocabulary of nasty names and the only ones I can come up with it are Twit and Tit!

If it's as bad as the 2 "C" words that spring to mind (one rhymes with hunt, the other is a male rooster), then PM me - so I know not to ever call you that!

Take Twit and change the "i" to an "a" and I believe you'll have the T word.

I went to my sons parent evening the other night.  In his history book there is a picture of an old bed-warmer, you know the stone cylindrical one with the screw topper?  The question asked what is this and what is it used for?  He answered it is a beer bottle for drinking beer - oh the shame!

I really want to adopt your son!

Bugger it - I'll take the entire family!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope the bunny was generous!



I just came home from a night away that became 2 nights away and I needed some retail therapy - it can be depressing coming home after a great weekend with friends.

I have no chocolate, but I do have a new Nespresso machine, solar lights for my garden (a cheaper alternative to night vision goggles for SNB watching?) and an Instyler - although I fear this:

I also have a rather large Mastercard bill  . This is what happens when shops open on Easter Sunday, for the first time EVER!

 

The Easter Bunny was good to me. I got Turkish Delight this year in place of chocolate. So I'll be ill for a few weeks to come. Everyone has leant not to give me chocolate, it just goes bad in the cupboard until someone notices it's still there around November...

We didn't go to Church this year so no egg hunt though. Grandpa called on Thursday and asked if we were going to go, I informed him we were not as mum had already let me know she wasn't going; "Oh well, it's all a bid morbid really..." yes mum, I do believe that is supposed to be the point of Easter, a celebration of life and death... oh well, it means I got to sleep in.

Haha, as for the shops being open, I'm pretty sure it's still illegal for shops to open here on Good Friday, but some were open today for a few hours. Yay for enforced public holiday, nay for the fact that it's still the only day of the year that we inevitably absolutely HAVE to go to the supermarket; this year the boys finished all the milk and all we had in the fridge were some carrots and mouldy pumpkin and nothing is open... 2 plums and a shortbread biscuit for dinner later I was cursing those bastards.

Take Twit and change the "i" to an "a" and I believe you'll have the T word.

That is what I thought. I'm pretty sure it's considered a pretty benign word here, if you asked I think many people wouldn't even consider it a 'true' swear word. Around the more bogan parts of town I've heard mum's tell their kids not to be a "damn twat"...

But I agree, I hate it when they are overused in fics, and I like it even less when they are used as terms of endearment. Drives me nuts, I sometimes feel authors use it as a way to show 'solidarity' between characters without any actual character, relationship or plot development.

Really That's as offensive as the C word???

I thought it was like calling someone an ass! I've been calling people this for years and no one has ever said anything - or been offended!

I'm really hoping it's another one of those different country things - it means one thing here in Oz and something else overseas.

As I said above, not in Aus. It means that same thing (as in it's another word for certain female anatomy) but it is not considered so harsh or rude. I call people twats a fair bit too, no-one ever seems to be overly offended by it, most people here do use it interchangeably with arse. As I said, it's one many parents wouldn't think twice about saying in front of their kids here.

I saw this on tumblr:
