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."
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.
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.
Tep is me...I love JC's sense of humor.

Is this a problem? OH! I should keep my mouth shut; just the QUESTION is a little revealing.
Hee.
(Ruggers are HAWT.)
Jane Green -- I am in love with Bookends, ans I like some of her others,
Nora Roberst - iread them , don't keep them
Jennifer Cruise and Georgette Heyer are my main keepers.
double post -- my punishment fro grabing free internet?
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.)
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.
until they look at the bill ... then they like you

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.
Hee. My movers liked the fact that I use one standard sized box for everything (got the boxes from Waldenbooks or Borders--they just toss them out otherwise), so they were able to stack things up and take them on their backs. (It's really incredible seeing these guys haul off three big boxes full of books on their back with just a long strip of fabric to carry them.)
When I move, I pack up all of my books first--that takes care of about 1/4 of my packing time, and all the boxes stacked up makes it look like I've done a lot right away. Also, working in bookstores means I've gotten really good at getting as many books possible in each box, so that way they don't crumple when they have three boxes piled on top of them.
