Between the covers book club

Hello, lovely ladies 

I hope this mail finds you enjoying your weekend 🙂

I’ve given my ending predicament some thought and I will be posting Christmas and Valentine’s Meander into their rightful spots as chapter 70 and 71 after a little bit of tweaking (that’s what I’m busy with right now).  And hopefully, at some point in time, an epilogue…. As I said the last time… watch this space 😉

  

I’ve also updated the Spanish version of Meander with chapter 28 and poster the final Italian chapter. Thank you Kereny and Paola! 😉

This week I read:

      

What Happened in Vegas by Sylvia Day was super short, but fun and hot.

The Wedding Contract by HM Ward was a great read. This is a stand alone novel in the Ferro Family series. Lots of tension and heat between the main characters. I loved it.

Changing His Game by Justine Elvira was a cute book and very steamy – the perfect poolside read.

Currently I’m reading:

The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines. I’m liking it so far though the characters are VERY young.

On my shelf I have:

Wait For You by J Lynn. I love this author so I’m looking forward to it!

I loved this little joke! 🙂

Have a stunning weekend, girls! Don’t forget to share your best reads with us!

Italian Chapters

Good morning, ladies 😉

Just a quick note to say that the lucky Italian readers have two chapters to enjoy today thanks to Paula’s hard work. 

I’ve had some issues with the formatting of the Italian chapters so there is no spacing, and no bold or italic formatting. I am trying to fix it, but I’m not sure why I’m having this little tech glitch – sorry 🙂 

Then I would also like to remind you of the Laters, Baby website. Not only is it the be all and end all of FSOG news, especially concerning the movie, but Mags and Crissy do a great job keeping the site fresh and exciting. Check out their FSOG pod casts!

Thought this might give you a laugh…. Though I hope it’s not true…. 😉

 

Between the covers book club and chapter 67

Hello lovely ladies.

Hopefully you’re having an awesome weekend.

I had a crazy busy one but here it is… The next installment on Meander – please find chapter 67 in the sidebar 🙂

Currently I’m reading:

Found In You by Laurelin Paige. This is book two in the series and I’m enjoying it but I’ve had very little time for reading this week.

On my shelf I have – thanks to my lovely friend Susan:

Arouse by Nina Lane, book one in the Spiral of Bliss series. I’m looking forward to this one. I have it on good authority that it’s a stunning read.

Paula will be away for a little while but she’s managed to send me an updated chapter for the Italian readers. Find chapter 66 in the sidebar 😉

For those of you with teenagers…. LOL!

Happy reading ladies! Please remember to share your treasured reads with us!

Teaser and news…

Hello ladies 😉

As I failed to grace you with a teaser over the weekend I thought I’d do it today, a little teasing taste of chapter 66:

“…She moves in front of us in her ultra-efficient manner, shoulder squared, cutting an intimidating yet reassuring figure. I watch her pushing down the door handle, her muscles moving with the fluidity of her skills before they lock, her body jolting so powerfully her limbs suddenly seem stiff, almost robotic…”

For the Italian readers, I’ve updated the Italian version of Meander with chapter 64. Thank you Paola! 😉

Please note that WordPress has made some changes to how the blog works and suddenly formatting is an issue again. Please bear with me while I find my way again 😉

Mid-week catch-up

Hello ladies!

I hope you’re having a stunning week! 😉

For those of you following the Meander rewrite, just a note to say that chapter 1 is reposted with all the bells and whistles, edited and polished! Again I must thank Susan for her stellar editing efforts!

Here’s a little something to cheer you on, just proving once more how very important angles can be! 😉 

  

Thanks to Kereny and Paula, I’ve updated the Italian version of Meander with the Italian translation of Christmas Meander, and I’ve posted chapter 17 in the Spanish translation. You ladies ROCK! 😉 Here’s the link to the Italian one-shot:

I also wanted to mention that the fabulous all things Fifty Laters Baby FSOG fan site has started with an FSOG podcast. Think of it as a little radio show that you can listen to whenever you want.  You can find them here:

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Good evening, lovely ladies! 

I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the rest of the weekend.

Thank you for all your comments about the last chapter. Boy, was I muddying through that one!? Seems I lost my writing feet through the move. It took a helluva’ effort to get back into it, so let’s hope that I’ll manage to say focussed.

This week I read:

  

Mine and Remy by Katie Evans. Sometimes, like when you crave comfort food, it’s nice to return to an old favourite, drawing that comfort from the pages that you loved so much. They are book two and three in the Ripped, Raw and Real series. The first book was called Real, and if it was possible, my e-book version of that one would be dog-eared! 😉

Thanks to Paola and Kereny I’ve updated both the Italian and the Spanish versions of Meander – enjoy ladies! 😀

  

I hope you have a beautiful week and please don’t forget to share your reading treasures with us!

Happy week, ladies!

Between the covers book club and news…

Helloooooo!

Long time no hear! Thank you so much for your patience and good wishes. I hope you had a beautiful, blessed start to your new year, and that you’re well on your way to enjoying 2014!

I have moved – finally, and 350 items later, my new home is beginning to resemble the tranquil place I like it to be! Yay! 😉 I’m going to try my best to start writing again this week, but now comes all the little admin details like address changes etc. to sort out! What I wouldn’t give to have a PA right now! LOL!

  

My slice of complete chaos… Can you see why I almost turned to drink??

I hope you’ll excuse my lack of replies on the blog, and I bet you would rather want me to spend my time writing than replying to your lovely comments. Please don’t think that I ignore them. I get every one as a notification on my mobile, I just have not had time to reply! I am grateful for every remark from you 😉

I finally finished:

Take Me On by Cherrie Lynn. Loved it, as I do all her books! A great read, and again, you don’t have to read the series in order.

I have been so thoroughly busy that I’ve not started a new book in all this time!

 Paula has been absolutely fantastic, and very busy. I’ve posted chapter 62 and the Quickie Meander short story on the blog for the Italian readers. 

I hope you have a stunning reading week as life settles around us into another new beginning.

Again, thank you for your continued support and long-suffering patience 😉

Love ya’ all!

Translated chapters

Hello lovely ladies,

I’m busy with the next instalment of Meander and you shall have it some time this weekend, provided all goes well. There is a 90% chance of a cyclone developing off our cost over the weekend so if you don’t hear from me, that’s why.

In the mean time I’ve posted the following translations:

 Paola has updated the Italian version of Meander with chapter 58.

 Kereny has completed the 9th chapter of the Spanish translation.

 The Super Hot Translators have posted two updated chapters for the Portuguese translation, Chapters 22 and 23.

As always ladies, thank you so much for your hard work!

Naughty, I know, but so cute!

Happy day girls!

Monique 😉

We have a new Christian!

Hello ladies!

Just a quick note to let you know that we have a new Christian Grey!

Jamie Dornan

According to the Inside Movies website:

http://insidemovies.ew.com/2013/10/23/jamie-dornan-fifty-shades-grey/

“Dornan began his career in front of the camera modeling for campaigns like Dior, Armani, and, quite memorably, Calvin Klein underwear. It seems fitting that the man who will play the 28-year-old CEO of Grey Enterprises Holdings, Inc. was once dubbed “the Golden Torso” by The New York Times. He made his film debut in Sofia Coppola’s 2006 movie Marie Antoinette, and has since gone on to guest star as Sheriff Graham in the ABC series Once Upon a Time and play a serial killer in the BBC miniseries The Fall. The six-foot former rugby player married actress Amelia Warner in 2013 and the couple is reportedly expecting their first child together.”

  

Here he is featured in a Dior ad:

So, what do you think ?

I’ve also posted chapter 55 in Italian. Thank you Paola!

Translated chapters

Hello ladies!

I hope you are having a good week, finding some time to relax with a good read and a glass… or two… 😉

I love this little joke! I don’t know about you but I think it’s pretty fair! 

Just q quick note to let the Italian readers know that Paola has translated the GQ article. I’ve posted it, nestled under chapter 51.

Kereny has also been very busy and I’ve just posted chapter 4 of the Spanish translation.

Also Sharon posted this as her means of survival between chapters. I think it’s an excellent idea…

 

Happy week!
