...uhhh....my roommate/best friend bought this as German paperback...and got me to read it....I think I'll buy the other ones for myself as English Kindle versions:
a) They split all books into two (so it's 10 instead of 5 books in German)
b) Each one costs around 20$ as paperback o_O
...go figure...

....uhhh...I couldn't resist....

Uhhhh...now I remember why it lost 1 star for me...

Re-read....

...argh...do you know this?
You've read a book (or series) a long(er) time ago, remembering some good parts of the story and wanting to re-read it...but don't remember title or author leading to frustrated searching in a big pile of ebooks? o_O

Hmmm...ok... o_O

There was a really odd one in the list of friend requests:
a) commentless friend request
b) zero books in common, mainly reading straight love stories, Christian faith lit, horror fic
c) male, straight with gf/wife (deducing from the profile), and
d) interested in F/F romance.

So...why?

All work and no read (...except trying to go through the GR updates list before going to sleep...) makes Ice a grumpy book-addict...

ok:
1) feeling worn out after lots of unpaid overtime check
2) being 6,99$ poorer and feeling disappointed by a not-my-thing book that sounded promising but left out some details in the blurbcheck
3) needing some quick, free, and feel-good read....

....check! *starting-to-read-this-one*

...on a relieved note...
no more "fireplugs" and stuff like that in the other bedroom scenes of the book (still...as an editor I'd have revised some adjectives there...like the "swelling") ;o)

...heh...on a positive note...a book reference about a book I love :o)

...hmm...

...finished...have to let it settle before any rating...

ok so far...some smaller niggles.
Just wishing I'd have more time for reading than 1...2h / day at the moment :o(
*going-to-sleep-now*

*yawn* midnight again...and totally torn:
a) The book is nearly finished and I don't want it to end *sniff* :o((
b) I'm soo sleepy and, therefore, happy to get some hours of sleep :o) before slaving away tomorrow :o|

*snort* :o))

“Okay, maybe I didn’t make myself clear. Morgan Nash, FBI. Now listen up—”

“Agent, you said?” Ezra looked dubious. “As in house?”

“Federal.’ I flashed the badge again. “As in government.”

His eyebrows rose. “You work for the government? By faith, we have conjured a demon.“

reading: ...tomorrow
now: ...sleeeeepy

So...started reading. The fast POV changes at the beginning were a bit confusing. So far I likey :o)

Ok. Slow buildup romance. And finally...some kissing... :o)

“[...], but Arthur shook the thought off as he struggled to sit up and bring Bernie even closer. For a small moment, when their mouths touched, all Arthur could think about was the heat sinking into his bones and shooting down his spine. [...]”

Heh :o)

“[...] He had a bunch of red grapes in his hand. Of course he did. And of course he was eating them one at a time and licking his lips after each one.

Arthur approached carefully, stifling his second sigh because he should have been comforted to see a dragon eating fruit and not people. Comforted, not turned on.”

Hmmm....I've to think about this...

So...
Happy New Year to you!

...and good luck for amazing-and-really-like-it-books for your readings in 2013 :o))

Away with all these cloned Hollywood blockbuster romantic comedies that seem to breed like bunnies:
I'd so like to have this one as a film adaptation...

"[...] and I like like him."
In my defense, like liking someone makes you stupid. It's not my fault.

Ohhh...this one is good...and funny...and endearing...and... :o)

[...]relieved when our beers appeared, scattering the rabble of butterflies that had taken up residence in my stomach. The ones that staunchly clung to my insides I'd drown with alcohol.

When people tell you that things look better in the morning, you should consider severing ties with them immediately, because they are lying to your face.

Last minute holiday shopping and then on my way to the family...

So:
"Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Yule, or Happy Holidays!"

Your Ice :o)

"What do I need?" Aiden didn't take a moment to think. "You. Just you. For me."
Marco stood on tiptoe. Right before he kissed him. Aiden felt his smile against his lips.
