Love Bites

Read it all in one go last night! Stayed up till 1:30am to finish it

It was sooo incredibly hot! I thought it was hillarious how Rachel thought it was all a dream, a massive WET dream! I liked the interaction with the other Argeneaus too, Thomas is soo cheeky there with the Sweet Ecstacy

Loved Marguerite in this "How did I raise such stupid children?"

I loved Bastien's reaction to Marguerite's parting words Poor Bastien, shes going to drive him crazy with all the quacks!

Re: Love Bites

"How did I raise such stupid children?"

thats what i have been saying....speaking as a mom, it is such a motherly statment..that line has stuck with me!

G3

Re: Love Bites

I just loved the book reference to the title

Re: Love Bites

I think that is every Mom's line. I thought pretty funny that Bastien had to explain what being an immortal was all about

Re: Love Bites

Awww... I loved, LOVE BITES... I too read it in one night...

Re: Love Bites

I thought it was funny how Etienne left nearly everything out so Marguerite, Lissiana, Greg and Bastien had to fill it all in

Re: Love Bites

That and when he kept feeding Rachel the bad blood so it would take longer for her to learn to feed on her own.

Re: Love Bites

I thought it was great the way Lynsay made it so Rachel didn't notice that it had been bad blood, Rachel will just assume that she's adapted to the taste.

Re: Love Bites

or when M walked in on Etiene & Rachel and
*wet dream*
too funny!

Re: Love Bites

"Lucy, looks like you got some xplainin' to do"

Re: Love Bites

I was at the transport office today renewing my licence, I was sitting pretty much in front of the TV and when I noticed it, I was like AHHH! Theres two people have hot vampire sex! The man looked like he was bitting her neck while she was moaning under him Then the ad break came on, a little later soo bored still waiting and then I looked at the TV and the scene changed, SAME couple having more hot vampire sex!

Didn't know that American soaps like Days of Our Lives (which is what it was) were soo hot

Blond chick with a muscular guy with short black hair..

Re: Love Bites

Hmmm...I haven't watched DOOL in years...no wonder Froggie is such a fan. It may be time to take another look!

Re: Love Bites

American soaps are just really boring too me, there was only one that actually held my interest for long, that was Passions but I heard that finished for good last year.

Only watch one soap and its Australian.

Re: Love Bites

ACAL....is it Neighbors or Eastenders!! SmileyCentral.com i only ask, because they are only show I remember them from when I lived there. I am not eve sure they are still on.

G3

Re: Love Bites

DOOL can have very hot scenes. But not as hot as E & R.
Some of there scenes can make a girl

Re: Love Bites

I gave up the soaps a long time ago...

Re: Love Bites

Gypsy and I are going to have to get our signing in straight...anyway, I'm the one that gave up the soaps a long time ago...but I think she gave them up too. She was working as a florist for a long time...

Re: Love Bites

Gena, Eastenders is a British show - like Coronation Street. Or Emmerdale.

Dave

Re: Love Bites

I don't watch too many soaps. I used to be, and I am embarassed to admit this (actually not so much), huge fan of the OC. We have the soap network and it would come on everyday at 5:00p.m. and I was absolutely glued.

Speaking of British shows, I love watching Torchwood, Dr. Who (David Tennant is too kinds of yummy but I also watch it for information content) and Coupling (that show is hilarious). Thank God Brits don't have writers strike.

Anyone else have favorites?

Re: Love Bites

I have a pretty long list

Home and Away (Australian Soap I watch)
Blue Heelers (Australian Police Drama, has now ended)
City Homicide (New Australian Police Drama, a replacement for Blue Heelers)
Desperate Housewives
OC (I watched every episode )
Passions (I watched this for a few months while it was on TV here.)
Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Lost
Survivor
Amazing Race
Torchwood
Doctor Who
Heroes
Bionic Woman
Alias
Supernatural

Theres probably others its hard to remember them alll lol

Re: Love Bites

Acal there are a lot of soaps on that list. Are you a soap junkie?

Re: Love Bites

Uh no theres one soap, the rest are dramas. Theres a difference soaps are generally 30 minutes

Re: Love Bites

I absolutely loved Love Bites!
Rachel & Etienne are just too cute.

The way M walked in on them "getting aquainted was just too dern funny!
Their game time together was wonderful, great bonding time.
I agree with everyone about Etienne giving her bad blood, smart man! (so few of them, lol)
Pudge was just crazy, making her try to eat the dog!
Sorry, I read this book four books ago and can't remember specific details, but I know I loved it!

Re: Love Bites

I watched HOME and AWAY, and NEIGHBORS


MR. SPICE....Eastenders IS a British show, but I watched in Austrailia as well. I started on in in England, but they were playing older shows when we moved to Sydney!
That and THE BLACK ADDER, with ROAN ATKENSON (SPELLING?) were my favorates....the best was when he was the duke,working for the competely incompetant king! and he had the little man servant, who was always dirty and smelly! too funny!

G3

Re: Love Bites

Rachel is awesome Shes my favourite female vamp

Re: Love Bites

I like Etienne's story quite a lot. Thought it was funny as anything when Thomas climbed into her apartment through the window to take her out to the night club and also when he slipped Rachel and Etienne a Mickey.

G3 - I love the Black Adder a lot. Rowan Atkinson (not sure of the spelling either) is really funny.

Re: Love Bites

By the way Tracy. I saw you filled out the getting to know thread. I am assuming you are new, so welcome to forum

Re: Love Bites

yea, he is notorious for that!.....My fav lin from him is "i am done playing cupid!"

he is so sweet!

Re: Love Bites

jill.BLACK ADDER....its the best, i go to the movie store to ren a season sometimes and have a marathon day!! I love how each is a different time in European history, but its always a pivital point and switch it around.

g

Re: Love Bites

Yeah he was "done" playing cupid until he tried to hook up Leigh with one of the drinks

Re: Love Bites

That was the first Argeneau book I read and I became ADDICTED!! I love Rachel because she is a coroner and I want to be a forensic pathologist. Acutally to be honest, when I saw the word coroner on the back cover, I automatically bought the book!

Re: Love Bites

I was wanting to reread it again the other day and i couldn't find it. That is the only one missing. That was a great book.

Re: Love Bites

Don't you keep all your books together? I have all mine in a pile stacked together

Re: Love Bites

My books are not always together, and with several people living in our home, things get moved around!
Also, I may be reading more than one book at a time.

Just happens!

wren

Re: Love Bites

hehe.. nobody knows what books are in my stash.. my mother knows what genre they are.. but not what they are.. parents are sooo nozy

Re: Love Bites

I have my book stet in Tupperware Modular Mates and Shelf Smarts. We also have our DVD's in them. When you live in a small apartment space is everything.

Re: Love Bites

I have them in a book case. Each author has their own shelf. And then all my mismatch books are on one shelf.

Then I have the book of the moment near my computer where I read it and type on Lynsays forum at the same time. See multitasking.

Re: Love Bites

I try to keep my books together but lately things are getting so crowded that it's tough. We have low bookcases in our sunroom that fit right under the windows that my husband built last year. I keep my favorites in there (Lynsay Sands and Julia Quinn) plus there is a shelf for the ones that are To Be Read next.

But the majority are on bookscases down in the basement. They are deep shelves so I have one row of books in front of another which makes me have to dig when I want something by an author in the back. After buying so many books lately, I'm having a hard time figuring out where to put stuff. So far I have managed to keep all books by each author together on one shelf but I may have to split some up soon, just so I can use all available space! I even have books stacked between the ceiling and the top of the shelf. Those are just individual books where I just have one book by an author. I think I need another bookshelf but I don't know if we have room. We already have one long one with two others stacked on top of it. My tall one and then there is a waist-high one with the kids' books on them. The kids all have bookshelves in their rooms too. I wish we had room in ours but it's the smallest of the bedrooms.

Why do we have the smallest one? Because it's the one with the door to the balcony and with three small children, that's just not safe otherwise. The balcony railing was rotten when we bought the place and we still haven't gotten around to replacing it. We'd have to replace the flat roof out there first and we already had to replace the roof above the sunroom on the opposite side of the house. Aah, the joys of being a homeowner.

We even have books way up high on shelves that are in our kitchen. I think they were meant to have decorative knickknacks or odd kitchen stuff but we've used it for some of the older books that we wanted to have out of reach of the kids. I have a copy of Longfellow's poems dated around 1890 or so. And we have some other nice old leatherbounds that we've picked up here and there.

Really, how many books are too many? Is there such a thing? I certainly don't think so.

Re: Love Bites

Nope! My bookcase is full and I got piles and piles on the floor!

Re: Love Bites

There is no such thing as too many books.

Re: Love Bites

so true! better words were never spoken!

Re: Love Bites

There is a plastic tub that is available in office supply stores that makes a great book storage bin. It will fit about 22 books (4 laying flat on the bottom and two rows of 9 on top of them). The bin is clear so you can see all the books in the box without having to open it up. I put a label on mine with a number and then put the box number in my book database so that I know exactly where every book is located. When you've got close to 2000 books, it makes it much easier to find them when someone wants to borrow a few. Yup, I'm anal about my books.

Re: Love Bites

Oh my goodness me too! I am always rearranging books here and there thinking hmm this has to go here, those ones would look better here....

By the way I was snoopin' on Barns and Noble and they have those books that everyone was looking for Love Bites, SWV and I think Tall Dark and Hungry and I ordered some beautiful hard covered ones of her historical, I got LOve is Blind in a hard cover (large print but who cares!) and The Perfect Wife in HCover cuz my MassMarket fell apart and they have one of The Chase that is hard cover but it is use and almost 50.00 so I am thinkin' I will wait but that one is really pretty. AHH!!

Re: Love Bites

hardcovers for me I only get them if its a new release and theres no pb. They are way to expensive! you can get 2 - 4 books on a hc price depending on the realtive prices.. Kim Harrison's series her hardback is $42! And another author something Salvador has them for $52! (they are massive books they look more like textbooks then novels considering how thick they are.. they can't exist in paperback because the spines would need to be monstrous and proportionally wise they'ed work a lot better in hardback format..) Considering I have seen a pb with 1,200 pages! Its spine was monstrous! You could almost pretty much guarentee that pages from the middle would come un-stuck.

One of my LHK pbs her largest one is about 800 pages and that should be like the maximum spine-size before hc is a better fit.

Re: Love Bites

Holy Crap, that much for Kim's books ? I got them for around 16.00 (ugh from amazon)! Have you ever tried an online book club? I have LK Hamilton's The Harlequin and I got it through Double Day Book club for pretty cheap, the book clubs sell the hard covers for 11.99 usually sometimes they have nice sales and they are less! Yep... Oh by the way Acal, you said you had Kim Harrison's books.. I think, you have the paperback that had an extra thing for Kisten? (Ah why did she have to get rid of Kisten?!?!?!) I was just wondering what that said saw something about it on a forum she did for Holiday's are Hell but I have the hardcover of that book since the last two came that way...

Kel

Re: Love Bites

Only her recent book has come out in Hardback here, and I don't do internet stuff, And I haven't started her books yet waiting a little longer before I go into there.. got so many other books to finish first

Re: Love Bites

Well, I don't buy the hardcovers new for that very reason. Can't afford to pay over $10 for a book that I can read at the library and then pick up the paperback version in a year. I've saved myself from buying a few that way, too.

I was able to get all of Lynsays Argeneau hardbacks that are available for under $10 (so far).

Re: Love Bites

Okay, so how in the world did we get from the topic of "Love Bites" to Hardcover Prices? Maybe we should start another topic for "Love Bites-Book Discussion ONLY".

LOL, it's amazing how off track we can get. I had a date with my husband last night and I was starting to tell him something about one of Lynsays books, but before I could get to the main point he asked a question that made me have to explain something else. By the time I finished that, I completely forgot what I had intended to tell him in the first place. Never did figure it out, either.

Re: Love Bites

Denise, I think I've been bitten by the off topic bug too... Whoopsie

Re: Love Bites

Kinda like going into a room and forgetting why you went in there in the first place. I think my kitchen is the Twightligt Zone when it comes to that. I will go in there for a specific thing and just like that totally forgot what is I wanted.

Wait what were talking about again
