Sleeping Beauty

12 Nov

Omigosh, i started the book series i won in the raffle at the munch – The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty.  Yikes.  

i totally see what all the excitement was about.

It’s ~ well, you really have to read it yourself.  It’s fairly amazing.  Definitely one-handed reading.

And this post is just a place-holder of sorts.  i spent my blogging time on the phone with my daughter, who’s angst-ridden and anxious and needed Mama time.  Lucky for her i’m an up-before-dawn kinda woman.

Yes, she’s better now.  Mama’s magic still works…  laughing…


Time to go do my volunteer gig.  i’ll be back later.

    will be thinking of you at your gig…there in spirit…

    now i’m curious…took me a minute (blush, i know, i know) to figure out what you meant by “one handed reading”…*more blusing*….

    waiting anxiously for more….

    me too, me too! The first time i read the series, and got all’excited’ over the things that the prince or the queen would do to Beauty….then was gentle entre’ into TTWD. i bagged my Husband to read it…fortunately for me, He’s a quick study. You’d never guess He was as VANILLA(yes, i did mean it in caps!!) as they come. Yay, Aisha!! i’m glad you like it…wait’ll the third one!!!! Woot!

      O, that’s so cool!!! And awesomely amazing that your husband got it!! I’ll look forward to continuing to read ~ although, um, i confess, a few pages at a time see to be sufficient…

      blushing…

    I think I recommended that book to you quite some time ago. (Remember I showed you the “Beauty Position”?) Regardless, it is a GREAT book. You will enjoy it. However, in MY not-so-humble opinion, the follow-on books are not as good, pretty repetitive.

      @Bob,

      i think you’re right – I remember you telling me that! Cool, thanks.

      It is great so far. I’ll withhold judgment on the next two since Pepper liked them.

      Thanks again,

    I have yet to read the series. I will buy them for a Christmas gift to myself!

    Enjoy your day. Volunteering always fills me up emotionally.

    Take care. Sky

      @Sky,

      O, glad you’re another one who buys herself a Xmas gift! And thanks – yeah, volunteering is helpful.

    yes, very hot book…. one handed reading… clearly Sir X has you on a very loose leash.

    @Mick,

    Laughing… yes, so far i am on a very loose leash in that regard. Don’t know if that will always be true, but i’m not complaining for now…
