I really like the 6 week Abs.   Let me know how it works for you.  I'm on my 3rd week and it's amazing.  I'm already pretty fit and lean already, but this took my core to the next level.

I downloaded it over night, as well as Killer Buns & Thighs.

I have a strong core - it is just well hidden!

Imagine a six pack - hiding behind a keg  ;)

I am not even sure they made strapless dresses in 1989 when I got married.

I am reading You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and I LOVE IT. I have about 5 chp left. OMG the action now. Remember this is Bourneward. I have stayed up wayyyy past my bedtime every night this week. I will move directly into the sequel, The Last Mission, which is a wip. Well, because I only have about a dozen I am following *snort* so whats one more when they are GOOD ? It is definitely one of the better ones I have read in awhile.

When I watch Top Chef, I lust after Whole Foods! I would kill to have somewhere like that to shop locally!

We're not really backwards here, but the small population means that it's not always possible to get what you want. Just before Easter, when the shops were going to be closed for one entire day, you would have thought that the end of the world was nigh! The shops were in a frenzy, and people were prepared to sell their first born for a bunch of fresh coriander/cilentro.

Fortunately, when we do buy fresh produce in season, it is usually quality stuff, regardless of where you buy it.
I don't have a Whole Foods here either.  I just see them when I travel.  I used to live pretty close to Whoop Whoop, but now I live in a decent size town that actually has some good stores.  Well, we have real grocery stores with a good produce section.  And the eggs never have fluorescent green whites, which I did get at the just outside of Whoop Whoop store.  :P

I have to say, other than Costco, I think most grocery stores are open everyday including Christmas and Easter.  I'm not even sure they closed the malls.  Well, maybe on Christmas.   :-\

I reread stuff all the time.  Usually when nothing is catching my interest or I don't know what I want to read.  I also will read WIP updates and OS's at the same time I'm rereading.  I just hate flouncing a good story because it isn't what I'm in the mood for.  So it's better just to reread something I like.

But I think this may be next.  Or one of those others that was rec'd a few chapters ago.  Though I did get Nolebugirl's Code Red, which looks interesting.  I love her humor.

She also does alternating Bella, Epov. Although I am a sucker for Epov, she does a delicious Epov. She also does well to alternate without duplication. Ah hell, I have never been good at writing a review, but I do love this so.

Who would you ladies say writes the best vampward stories? I think once I finish Blood & Glory I might hunt up a vampward one, one fairly true to the original characters, but smuttier.

I'm so frustrated - I started the 30 DS but had to travel, then got this chest cold.  I still can't take a deep breathe without coughing.  Only it's like a tickle.  There's nothing there to cough up.  But exercise it pretty much out.  :(

And I did try the vaporub.  But I think I was too late.  Sigh...

I read all of them as a wip. I just love them.
Maybe I would feel differently about it.

I still take credit for reccing it here.

I really believe that reading a fic as a WIP is a different experience to reading it as a completed fic.

When a fic is completed, the sense of anticipation dissipates and the drama becomes more concentrated and exaggerated.

Given my severe Wiphobia, I'm thinking of trialing a new reading style - I'm going to select 7 fics and read a different fic each day.

I'm either going to become totally confused (when I did read fics, I'd always have to go back and re-read the previous chapter every time there was an update), or I'm going to get back that little buzz of anticipation I used to get when I'd get an update alert.

But the WIPhobia will be kept at bay, because I know the fics I select are already finished.

Yep - I'll start this as soon as I finish The Practicum!

Did you read Drotuno's vamp series - they are pretty smutty.  Especially the first one. :NeenerNeener:

I think there were comments that there was too much sex.   ::)

I keep looking for these, but they are not always so easy to find.

I will have to remember that. I honestly haven't read any of her work. Not sure how, but just haven't.
I don't think I have ever complained there was too much sex before. I do require plot with my smut though.

You have to leave anywhere from a week to a month between reading chapters if you want the full effect LOL  :D :D :D :D

I read the first one. I liked it, but it was TOO smutty, lol! Middle ground, writers need to find it!

Oh, one of my favorite Vampward is My Mate by PrincessRachel.

I think it is smutty, but be warned there are thing that may squick you out!

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

But besides that it's a pretty good read?

And yes this one!

But it pains me that I trusted the author when she said she would update the sequel every weekend and that there would be only 10 chapters or so , but she lied!

She hasn't updated in weeks and she said it would be longer than 10 chapters!  >:(

It took me forever to finally read them.  Now they may be one of my fav vampwards.  The first one is a little more angsty than the rest.  She starts as if Edward didn't come back in New Moon.  He didn't make it back until Bella was 20.  So there is angst, but the story starts pretty much when he returns.  HEA  and no further "break-ups" in the series.  Just outside things going on or threatening the family. 

It's good.  And the 2nd through 4th has some great new characters showing up.

She tones it down a little in the sequels.  A little....   :D :D :D :D :D

I actually like the sequels more than the original one.

If I put this in my "Lucky 7" list, will I go insane because the sequel is still a WIP? Is it complete in itself, or is the sequel just the next chapter because the author couldn't end it there?

Green eggs!  :sign0137: :sign0137: :sign0137:





I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS and ham, I do not like them Sam-I-am!!!

Twice!  I thought the first time was a fluke.  I bought my eggs at the gas station market after that.

A friend of mine read this as a wip. I was told the first one will stand alone just fine if you never even read The sequel. She has also read the authors other shory The Senator Son, and says that it was good too. Not as good as the one I am reading now, but maybe that was because it was her first.

There is definite plot in all 4 stories.  Just a lot of loving mixed in.  A lot. 

Though now that I think of it, I wasn't sure I wanted to read Grasping Darkness - I started it and it seemed a little too much for me.  But since you liked it, I'm assuming it had a plot in there somewhere? 

If I'm going to read PWP, I stick to OS's.  Otherwise I need more plot than p0rn :P
