I'm unashamedly ripping off Big-Big-Truck's Cowboy Bebop thumbnail theater, and apparently she ripped it off from some other person named ToastyFrog. But man, doing this for a 312-page novel is a lot more time-consuming than for a half-hour episode of anime, so I'm going to break this down into four or five instalments. Today's episode covers Daphne and Rupert's adventures until their escape from the pyramid of Chephren, and tomorrow's installment will probably stop at Miles's escape. For those of you who haven't read the book yet but you plan to and spoilers piss you off, stop reading now because this gives away substantial chunks of the plot. That, and it won't make much sense.
Anyway, enough babbling; on to our feature! Smart Bitches Thumbnail Theater Presents: Mr. Impossible, Part 1.
We have some lovely referral records today.

So sorry you’ve landed on our erudite page devoted to romantic fiction! We have smart bitches, naked dukes, and horny heroes, but not in the combinations you seek. My apologies. I am sure there is another page or two on the internet that might be of interest to you. Continue your quest, noble knight of the MSN search!
We Smart Bitches bid you adieu as you embark on your quest.
Huh huh. I said “rule.”
Anyway, last night I wasn’t in the mood for the angst of “Uncommon Vows” right before bed, though I was about 3/4 into the book. I wasn’t on the home stretch and was far too tired to think of finishing it, so I did The Unthinkable.
I started another book.
Does anyone else have a rule that they only read one thing at a time? Candy, I know, reads quantum physics (I’m not even kidding) and romance at the SAME TIME, which bends my mind more than a little. But I usually read one thing at a time, because otherwise I will always like one better than the other, and the one I like less? I never get back to it. Also, I have a poor memory and I’ll start mixing the plotlines up, which can be a challenge if I try to read a contemporary and a medieval at the same time. Someone is showering a lot, some one is not. Which one?!! I can’t even watch two tv shows at the same time, while Hubby, when he is master of the clicker, can watch, like, twelve. Simultaneously. And keep track of what’s going on.
So of course, I am seriously loving the roller-coaster ride of “The Pirate Prince,” by Gaelen Foley. Woo damn is that thing purple-ish and non-freaking-stop. It reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean - once it started, WHOOSH.
I do have to finish Uncommon Vows, especially after so many people recommended it. And dang the hero is hot. But I have to be honest, the “Oh, I’m hot hot hot for you!” “No, I hate hate hate you!” hot/cold heroine is in desperate need for a smackdown. Don’t treat that fine, educated, man like that! He should come over here to Candy & me. We’ll take care of him. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
So - do you read one at a time, or muliple books at once?
I just checked the stat counter, and we have crossed the big 10k - anyone got me a screenshot of 10,000? Bring it on!

A website that reviews romance novels from a couple of smart bitches who will always give it to you straight. No bullshit. No gushing--unless the author really deserves it.
Let me try that link again.

I met Roger Ebert once at a shindig. He was very nice and funny. I don’t always agree with his reviews since he is so very nice, and I’m not.

Freakin’ hilarious, all if it. And I particularly love how he can get humor out of something (Catholicism, Jane Austen, Marvel Comics) without being excessively mean-spirited.
I only became an “adult” recently, within the last few years, but what I have to say about Edward is, again, that he was way too stalkerish for me. I understand the appeal that he and other alpha-male heroes have;…
