So far, the audiobook is amazing. Both male and female narrators compliment each other so well.

I can’t get into this book. It’s just not gripping me as the other books in the series did. I’ve read two other books since I started this one. I don’t know what’s happening.

The begining is quite annoying and slow. Why the need to introduce new characters in the very last installments in the series?

She thought she got away...
This promises to be a story that is right up my ally. It is sett in a sunny Mexico :-D.

"I felt like a musician performing on the deck of the Titanic, knowing there was nothing I could do but go down."

“Women are always expected to be the gracious hostess, quick with an anecdote and a sprinkling of laughter at others’ stories. We are always the ones who have to smooth over all the awkward moments in life with soul-crushing pleasantries. We are basically unpaid geishas. But when we do not fulfill this expectation (because we are introverted), people assume we must be either depressed or a cunt."

You point out in a group "Support for Indy authors", in a thread where authors are discussing low sales, that maybe, a reason they don't sell is because they act stupid on GR, like reviewing their book, from a different account, without disclosing that they wrote it (one of the author's in the thread has done it). Comment is called irrelevant, negative and is deleted (response from the moderator of the group).

Where are all the lovers of the new GR design? So far, the survey says:

Take a few minutes to take the survey:

So, since GoodReads staff refuse to disclose survey results about the new homepage design, but insist that the majority of GoodReads members love it, I thought I will make my own survey and see if it's true. Here it is:

I'll give it a month or so and share the results with you guys.

Holy sh*t! The new webdesign is driving me crazy. It looks like a picture book for kids.

I had the strangers dream last night, that someone said good bye. For the life of me can't remember the person from the dream, just that I knew them. I've had the sinking feeling in my gut ever since, can't read or focus on much else. What the hell?

I had the strangest dream last night, that someone said good bye. For the life of me can't remember who the person in the dream was, just that I knew them. And now, can't read or focus on much else. What the hell?

“I told him that my parents didn’t believe in air-conditioning he gave me this look like I was some sort of starving leper who needed a fund-raiser.”

“Texas is a state that had once outlawed sodomy and fellatio, but is totally cool with men giving themselves golden showers in the name of deer hunting.”
I can't stop laughing. This book is exactly what I needed.

Holy hell, I just cleaned up my friends list and I'm 36 friends poorer. Majority haven't been active on GR for over a year and 1/3 were author who fucking sneaked up on me with typical "I would like to chat books with you" bullshit, until they published their first book that is.

I was sure that second time around I will find something that will annoy me. But damn it's just as good.

I wanted to re-read this for quite a while now. It's time.

I have say I'm not a fan when a book stars in the midle of their story. I feel like authors jumped over essential parts of their relationship by choosing to tell about what happened by using short glimps into the past. It always makes me feel like I started reading by opening the book somewhere in the midle. Why not just start from the begining?

“I don’t understand,” our friend Gloria said. “Men will buy me drinks because I use a vibrator?”

Something is in the air in that suburbia. Maybe it's a gass leak?

This book is hilarious. My type of crazy.

Sounds a lot like a Cinderella story, but at least it's well written and quite entertaining.
