Faking it was mine.No surprise, with the cons...
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
oh no! I read Faking it after Temptation. So, no, I have NOT read Crazy for You.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I really liked Crazy For You, but it felt a bit...rushed, for lack of a better word, at the end. I could have read about 50 more pages and then WHAM "The End".

I think Crazy for You is the one I started and finished on the plane on Saturday. I liked it better than Tell Me Lies, about the same as Fast Women, and not quite as much as Faking It, which so far is still my favorite. I haven't read Welcome to Temptation yet, though, it's next on my list.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I don't think I read Tell Me Lies. I didn't like Crazy For You, because it was just creepy. Fast Women was a little confusing. And I love Faking It and Welcome to Tempation, in that order.

Tell Me Lies is kinda effed up.
I like Crazy For You, becuase it was sorta creepy. The "fiance who wouldn't leave" was a certfiable NUTBAR.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I honestly don't think Anne Rice is worthy to clean erika's shoes with half her overinflated, device-heavy, repetitive, unedited manuscripts.
And Ms. Rice, besides needing a clue and a good editor, does not deserve one of our Anne's sweaters. Which (rubbing hands gleefully) I happen to possess, and wanted in Seattle, believe me.

(picturing this) ME: And make sure you don't miss a spot. These are suede. Use the prologue...modern readers don't like 'em anyway. RICE: They don't?! ME: Not when they're long like that they don't. Trust me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I bought "Girl with a Pearl Earring" last night and read it, and didn't love it. It was fine, but not particularly engaging.
I don't understand all the hype and glowing reviews.Sometimes, I wonder how MUCH book reviewers actually read -- I mean, how many books they plow through in a week. Sometimes, it seems to me that they are overly lavish with their praise on books that aren't that amazing, if you've read a goodly amount of books.
It wasn't bad certainly, and I think it will be a lovely movie. But the book? Left me wanting more detail.

Erin, I had that reaction to Chevalier the first time through. But then I found myself imagining bits she'd left out, and that left me wishing I'd written the thing, and that made me go back and read it again, and I found that my own head had put things in the second time around - I ended up feeling almost proprietarial about it.
