What did you think of Transgender Voices? I was a part of that study - the picture of the butch with the absolutely adorable dog on pg. 19 - that's me.

My love for sparkly vampires made me start reading Breaking Dawn yesterday (and only have 2 chapters left). Odd, because I never read the book before the movie cause all I do is sit and cuss the screen. lol

Someone inspired me to listen to it again via my Iphone.
I have read it more times than I can count.
Everytime I read it I find something new in it.

i have been reading that mind numbing stuff lately... the kind where you spend 8 bucks for a couple of hours off the clock and 2 hours later you cant remember the book you just read...
sooo... someone gave me a bag of books... or i found some at a digg sale or something...

i am forever seeing little old ladies with laurell k hamilton around here... (repressive southern community)
now that i have read this author i now know that almost my entire family is as freaky as i am...

this is some heavy bdsm porn disguised as a harlequin... really...
i woulda been embarrassed sitting with my aunt if i had known what she was readin!...
seriously... its near scandelous... and... she prays for me because i am gay!....
im happy to know she is a freak... but dang...

I've never read anything by her. Worth it?

im in the middle of a couple of books right now...
the one that is tryin to monopolize me is
Getting Mother's Body
by Suzan - Lori Parks
it is a really decently written account of 1963 southern poor black trash... the leads mother was buried with jewels... a pearl necklace and a diamond ring... a supermarket is about to plow over her grave where the bulldagger that she lived with buried her with her own hands... her 16 year old daughter needs money for a 5 month abortion... so she is going to dig her up... ostensibly so that she isnt under a parking lot... actually because she wants the 'treasure'...

dixie 10-13-2010 10:28 AM

and
"Written on the Body" by Jeanette Winterson

rlin 10-13-2010 06:04 PM

i just noticed this was addressed to me... sorry bout that...
the books you have mentioned are about a faery land in the US... not a bad waste of time... if you are in the mood to waste time...
the porn/smut i am speaking of are from the
Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series...
she is on a roll with these books it seems... as far as i can tell the later the book the more risque it is...
the books are a tad violent.. and may have story lines...
for a pure fantasy read... not the worst i have experienced...
hows that!
