Ha-ha, thanks I have a feeling I might have an issue with U though.
Shera (Book Whispers) wrote: "Ha-ha, thanks I have a feeling I might have an issue with U though."No, find a New Adult book where they are in college and you are good there.
I'm having issues with X for X-ray. I read books where people are hurt and they talk about broken bones, but they don't talk about them getting an x-ray, but they must have in order to find out the info.
Hmmmm . . . I was thinking about X-ray too. All the books talk about broken bones but never metion the x-ray!!NA, that's a good idea. Too bad I read Frigid right at the end of December!

I just found my x-ray. Part of the story takes place in a medical clinic and they talk about their x-ray machine.
Wow!! Go Darcy! Go Darcy! You're like the challenge champion!
It helps that I read a lot, makes doing these fairly easy. lol
Done for the points but I still need "u" to finish it :/
Congrats Colleen!For U, find a book where people are in college, super easy then.
Mod
I feel like the golden age of UF/PNR is done. It would be that all the books I read a week except 1 or 2 would be in that genre, now it is different, I'm lucky to find 1 a week in that genre.
Yeah . . . the golden age is probably waning. Though I'm lucky I still have plenty of goodies to catch up on. ^_-
Mod
If she fits your definition of zany, then yes.
Mod
If you are still looking when the next Stephanie Plum book comes out you will be good. Or give Heller a try, definitely zany and I know you would like it.
Mod
I went through about 1/4 of my books just trying to get all the dust off the shelves and to determine what to keep versus trade. I'm running out of stuff that I can trade for. I haven't seen anything interesting in a while. I have another room of shelves to do tomorrow. I'm ignoring everything boxed up in the basement. I only go through those every few years. Anyway, the point of all that was that I hadn't found anything that screams "this will be zany." I think I've only ever encountered a zoo twice and I'm not a zombie person if I can avoid them.
I feel like something I read had a zoo, but for the life of me I can't remember! That's why after I get done reading I need to check and see what fits. On that note 6 more to go!!!
Yes!!! >_< Despite that horrible reading funk, I'd doing it!!!
