I have problems with some of Nora Roberts' sex scenes - some of them are more like a rugger scrum with orgasms than I'm used to in books. Kind of sex as a full body contact sport.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.

Heh. They can read that way sometimes. I give her credit for at least changing up some of the imagery, but I'd love to see her do a more realistically worded sex scene once. Some of the imagery gets a bit ... mauve, if not purple.

Is this a problem? OH! I should keep my mouth shut; just the QUESTION is a little revealing.
Hee.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I was just doing some googling on my little-known authors when I found out that a few of the books I purged last week (still have them in the Goodwill box) might be worth something. Hmmm, I might have to finally sell something on e-bay to see if I can get some cash for them!
(They're Justine Dare's two SF romances, The Lord of the Storm and The Skypirate. Loved them both, but haven't reread them in years, so they're outta here.)

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, I'm going to be doing a fairly massive book-culling if we're going to be looking at moving. The cookbooks will definitely be thinned and the fiction as well. The reference books, if they're excessively dated, are probably going to go, but the majority of them will have to be pried from my cold dead hands.
Movers HATE me.

Nope. They still hate me. At least the guys doing the packing and actual moving and getting paid whatever shitty hourly wage they're getting.
