I'm so happy Tara Sue Me is publishing her trilogy. It was one of my first fanfics and opened a whole new world to me. Lots of love for those books.

Looks like this is on Amazon with the whole trilogy being only $5.99.  Has anyone read the published version?

I honestly can't think of a top 10...

so I narrowed it down to those I haven't seen on other lists yet and to E/B AH

... and many many more, sigh, I tend to reread stories, so my schedule is full now... lol

Thanks! So, not really my kind of story... good to know... 

I just read the first chapter of Love in My Box and it sucked me right in!    Guess I know what I'll read next.

Thanks for all the top 10 lists so far!   So, it looks like the Gravity Series is quite popular...    it's the one about mercenary-ward?    Is it heavy on the romance?  Or more heavy on death and destruction? LOL

 :-*I would say all of the above. 

Finally finished Bring On The Wonder. Excited to start something new.

Needing something light and fluffy . . . and Daddyward.

You haven't read Real Life??  It is exercise for your stomach.  I was laughing so hard in parts.  Oh, heck, most of the story.... It is definitely a favorite!

I definitely needed a break after Hopeless.   I found myself so wrapped up in that story!   It really really got to me and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.    I read The Sea of Tranquility not long after and while I did love it, I didn't think it was as good as Hopeless.   I think because I was comparing the two so I wished I had waited to read SoT.

Thank you for posting your top 10!  I have The Man Who Can't be Moved on my kindle and I couldn't remember what it was about...  thanks for mentioning it.  I've been trying to only send ones that I am 100% sure I want to read soon to my kindle, so I knew it must be good or I wouldn't have put it on there. ;-)

I've read Emancipation Proclamation (as published, Sempre) and Fridays at Noon and LOVED both of those.   I've got VV/LRM, The Real Life of EAM and the Misapprehension of Bella Swan all on my kindle already too, I'll push them up the list a little.     Need to check the rest out too because it seems we have similar taste in 'wards! LOL

How did you know that about the outtake for Chapter 2 in It's Just Lunch?  Does the author mention it in the A/N?   I'm hoping I'll remember that when I read it eventually.

Here are my Top Fics (in order I read them):
Out of Sight, Out of Mind by Simaril
Let Your Light Shine - lolashoes
A Life Extraordinary - lolashoes
Isle Esme - vixen1836
A Pound of Flesh - jaxon22
Alphabet Weekends
Faking It - spanglemaker9
Fridays at Noon - troublefollows1017
Once Upon a Saturday (FaN sequel) -troublefollows1017

(those are the only ones I've read LOL unless I've forgetting one!   Well, I flounced CIWA & The Ex-Factor)

Does anyone else have a top 10 list they want to share?

I like most of these a lot.  I am a big Actorward fan. There are two I really liked that I don't see here - You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Dreaming of You
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Reel Life

I read both a couple times and I would say Reel Life is one of my favs. Sandy is a great writer.

I also love the Broken Angel series by drotuno You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
And Reboot by Diana Law You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login which is an interesting redo of Twilight.  Well, redo isn't quite correct. 

And except for EP and the Tara Sue Me trilogy, Booked and I have similar tastes.

It seems a lot of people like My Cowardly Lion by laughablelamb, I have tried to read it multiple times but I never get very far.

Somebody care to give me some spoilers to motivate me to read it?

I don't think I can do a favorite's list - I would just keep adding to it and never end.

Sometimes I wish I would of keep track of how many fic's I've read... Sadly I'm not Booked with her amazing charts. 

I'm just going to put the one's I've read multiple times, that should mean these are part of my faves'.

Okay - I'm tired, so that's it for me.. and these are one's I've read multiple times and not to mention the OS's, clearly I have too much  free time on my hands. 


 

Yay! It's Friday night - but working with germy, snotty children all week means that I am lying on the couch, sipping lemon and ginger tea and trying to convince my immune system that it needs to man up and fight the sore throat, temperature and tight chest that wants to take hold of my body!

Where would I find this recipe?

I find everything on google - how I managed to do two university degrees without google is beyond me!

There are a bajillion different recipes on google for Armadillo Eggs, but this one was the first I tried, and now I just add and adapt: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login I had to Australianise it, because I have no idea what Bisquick is! If I'm feeling extra lazy, I buy pre-made hamburger patties or even meatballs from the butcher and just wrap the stuffed chilli in that.

My other go-to party nibbly is: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

So I merged the 2 recipes, and stuff the jalapenos with bacon, cream cheese and grated cheese. I've also been told that I should wrap the whole lot in bacon. I really couldn't be bothered, but



A word of warning - wear gloves when prepping the chillies!

Also, if you wear contact lenses, remove them before deseeding and chopping the chillies - I can't explain it, but it's almost as if the lenses protect my eyes while I'm preparing the jalapenos, but when I remove my lenses that night . . . ouch! It's like, when my naked eyes are exposed, all the chilli fumes are activated. Very painful!

Since i've been saying this, here's my top 10, in the sequence i read them:

Does anyone else have a top 10 list they want to share?

I couldn't put together a Top 10 - or even a Top 100! I've read so many, and it just depends on my mood as to what my favourite would be. I also like quite a few one-shots.

Also, some that I read and loved back in my early twific days just haven't stood the test of time - I think I was dazzled by the erotica! 

Let Your Light Shine - lolashoes

Whenever I see this fic, I have a little chuckle to myself! I read this when it's sequel was a WIP.

I decided to read it because . . . Let Your Light Shine is the school motto of the Presbyterian and Methodist Church Ladies College that I attended for primary and high school! Luceat Lux Vestra is about the only Latin I know!

It has to do with the Parable of the Lamp: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

A very different story to the one Lolashoes wrote!

I don't think I can do a favorite's list - I would just keep adding to it and never end.

Sometimes I wish I would of keep track of how many fic's I've read... Sadly I'm not Booked with her amazing charts. 

Do you use calibre?

There were several on your list that I have read and loved: Decoy, Dirt Roads, and Young pilgrims were all excellent

ETA: I hope you fight off that sickness and feel better Astro
