In the Mail

That's what you all say isn't it?

So as it is I have gotten a book in the mail - Claire de Lune by Christine Johnson. Which (if you don't know) is the first book in the series of the same name. I was meant to get book two, Nocturne, but it didn't come and cause it's not on the invoice/receipt thingy only has the first one on the page, so I might still be getting it later, who the hell knows. All I can do is wait and when it becomes clear that it's not coming, then, well, I can bithc. It's not all that hard. 

So of course the book is already on the list, and cause of the style - like it's got 336pp and all that but it's got, like, I don't know. It looks like it's not a long read, and so, maybe it will become a weekly one. it's also one of the books that I'm that I'm looking forward to reading and so...why not.
Though thinking on that if I read the first one I'll want to read book two, and I don't have that one. 

so what to do? what to do? Guess you'll find out just a little after I do.


UPDATE: 7th Sept 2011
   (Cause it's so much easier this way) 

I got Nocturne, so... yeah. Nah really it's exciting in a lot of weird ways, and some less. But hey I got them, so that's pretty good hey. It’s still weird though that they didn't come together but whatever, not really something to let clog up your mind. 

I also bought two books today, yeah; I’m beating the crap out of myself as we talk. One half on me is cowering in the corner, one is yelling still, while another part is smile like a dick while clutching the books I got to my chest – it’s not exciting enough, nor the books that make me jump around the room cause I’ve gotten them. But still pretty good buy or at least one is. The other, is really while I’m abusing myself.

So I got Forbidden by Jana Oliver, it’s book two in the Demon Trapper series, buying this book know really shows you (if you care enough) that I like the first one, cause I couldn’t wait. I saw it, snatched it up. and it will most likely the next book I’m going to read, though saying that I’ve decided that I have to write a part in my book first – like tonight, cause I don’t really have the time to read it while looking after the kids and then there’s Criminal Minds on tonight, and I can’t not watch that (not true, but still true).
 
I also got Past Midnight by Mara Purnhagen, its book 1 in the series of same name. It’s got 3 more and what looks like must be a Novella, in the rest of the series – they all come out in 2011.

Book Release Update: Heads up, so cool, I think – really not that sure – book nine of the house on night series is out in October, which means for me... well I still probably have a couple of month before I can get it. Though if I really wanted to I guess I could, you know, order it in from overseas. Problem? Don’t care that much for the series at the moment, it’s dragging too much, but honestly that’s something for another time.


GETTING TOMORA: 8th Sept 2011
so the books I ordered have come in. and so, I'll be buying them.

I'm getting Wild Fire by Christine Feehan it's book four in her Leopard people series and the last I need so that I have the series so far. yeah!

and I'm getting Personal Demons by Lisa DesRochers. this is book one is the series of same name. and the one that I had to buy so that I could read book two is series. and yeah, I can't read the second book when I haven't read the first. and so...

and there you have it. have fun reading fokes, cause that's what I'll be doing.

Sex scenes (everywhere)


Let's talk sex scenes in books and/or movies - at least the high price ones that was more focused on the characters shoulders and sheet covered hips. 

But let's not get ahead of ourself. 

first thing to know is that I don't mind sex scenes, I actually like them in most cases but there are times when your reading a book where it's there for no reason that I can see and that pisses me off, makes the book turn to shit in my opinion. The page fillers that you can find at all satisfying then if you were reading porn. And you do know there is that shit out there and if I wanted to read only sex I would have gone and bought myself one of them instead of this romance. 

it's like... I don't know. I hate reading unnecessary sex scenes. I hate it mostly because it seems like the centre of it is sex rather than the love between them. And honestly, even though they can say: 'it's more than the sex that I want, it's her/him. It’s the person behind all this flesh'. Yeah okay, there my words but it's what happens and yet there having sex when it's not something they had to be doing. so really it's contradicting the words thought threw the sex because, like really, all it is between you - all we see about you is the sex and the lust. 

Not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with it. I like romances for the fact that it's lust related, though they say it's not, really, that's all we’re seeing. But then when they put in that horrid scene. honestly I would have preferred to read that page or less than have to have go through reading that sex. I just really hate it. I hate that it's there, that I can tell it's only because there isn't anything else they (the author) can use to add the scenes together. And it's that that I don't like, the scene that are truly there for no reason. And you can see that. 

Or maybe that's just me. 

But I can and it's something that I hate. I also hate love stories that would have been better without the love in it. Why can't characters just have a lust affair why can't people (reader, cause that's who we write for) get the idea around a relationship that only works around a few days rather than a full soulmate thing. 'cause I have read a book or two that would have worked wonders, and much better than they did, if it was more about the fact that they got together and then when there separate way at the end of the book, friends even. Why does everyone always want a happy ending? Why can't they be happy with something that's probably much more reality based. 

It’s something I think about a lot while writing my romance. Though I won’t people to read it I don't think I'm going to be able to write a complete lust filled story because every time I do that all I want is for them to fall into bed and then... that's it. And to be honest it's how both my books start. It’s not till book three that they will come to the love later on in the story. 

It’s even worse (sex scenes) when they are in high price movies, the ones that have actors that can turn down breasts and junk off the film. The ones that are all about a slide of a sheet. A hand running across a shoulder. Hell half the time it's not even a little bit convincing that they are having sex. And the other half you’re watching fact orgasm faces. Honestly, the only orgasm face that I want to watch is the one that I'm giving someone else, and that's more to do with pride than the fact that it's anything to look at. Though most of the time it is, but like I say, pride makes a shit load of things better than they really are. 

Still, that's a little - nah, I really hate sex scenes in movies, unless I'm watching porn or it's done in a way that is really like sex. Like um... Sex and other drugs was a good movie and that was full of sex. But something like...I don't know. I hate high budget movies that have sex scenes in it. They sex so much and all they really make me thinks is, "the wont fit in her belly button no matter how hard you try." 

Shit I hate it. I really do.  I'm not sure why it's become such a hot subject for me at the moment. Maybe cause I'm writing sex scenes at the moment, you know there all I've been thinking about. Which sucks and has... yeah, more than you will ever need to know about me. Also people I have to see (sis, parents) might be reading this so it's best not to get into anything...
  Also, it's not really the sex that I have been thinking about, but where it should be, what it should be like, and what I need to know with the characters that I am writing it for. Since, yeah, the characters are into sex that I'm not and well, it's hard to write when you’re not sure how it sits. So it's researching sex. Which is really where it comes to me seeing sex everywhere. And I really mean everywhere. It sucks and I honestly can't wait till it's over and I can, you know, more to the next thing I need to know about.
