OMG! Just got my Pixel of Ink e-mail and there is a free Kindle book called "Fifty Shades of Silver Hair and Socks." It's a comical parody on the Fifty Shades books. Looks like there is more than one book in this series but they are all really short. 60-80 pages or so. May have to try this since it's free.

I saw that too! It gave me a chuckle.

Did you read any of the exceprt? There are several parodies out there plus a bedside guide. And a Fifty Shades guide for men and for women. Funny!

Just finished the new Fever....anyone else completed it yet?

You mean the graphic novel?

No - dang Kindle price is still at $14.99. I boycot until $12.99. Stupid I know. But even stoopider that the line was at $9.99 until I had to raise it to $12.99 because of all the books on my "I need them bad" list were $12.99. But I swear I draw that line somewhere.

♥ :just because I can.

Fever Moon is at 12.99 now.

I bought the printed version because my Kindle isn't color, and I felt it was worth it for a graphic novel. It's beautiful!

I'm really looking forward to ICED, which comes out in October. She keeps putting quotes and stuff on her facebook page, and man is it a tease!

I can do that! Thanks QM.

Thanks for this, QM! I've now subscribed to Pixel of Ink and downloaded Fifty Shades of Silver Hair and Socks. I haven't started reading it yet, but will report back after I do.

And I can't wait for you to come visit again so I can see the pretty that is Fever Moon!! it's your turn to come here!! lol

Just finished all three Fifty Shades so maybe I will read this one next while it is still fresh on my mind.

Werd! I wish things would calm down so we could plan a trip to see you!

P.S. I started a re-read of my favorite Stridey-man book.

Some more books from my library Romance Newsletter- I haven't read any of them but here they are:

Coming Up Roses
by Catherine Anderson
Published 2012 by Signet Book

Jacket Notes:
The bestselling author of the Comanche trilogy sets this bittersweet, highly charged romance in the Oregon territory. Widow Kate Blakely knew nothing of love, and when she met her new neighbor, Zachariah McGovern, all she saw was danger. But Zach saw much more. Reissue. From "New York Times" bestselling author Catherine Anderson comes the emotionally gripping story of a woman who must overcome her painful past before she can accept a good man's love...

1890, Oregon. Recently widowed Kate Blakely is struggling to make ends meet on her small farm while trying to heal from the scars of her late husband's cruelty. When her handsome, brawny neighbor, Zachariah McGovern, almost dies while saving her four-year-old daughter from a near fatal accident, Kate is deeply wary of the man she brings into her home to nurse back to health.

Gradually Kate realizes that underneath Zach's rough exterior is a gentle, loving soul who is fiercely protective of her and her daughter. But as much as Zach longs for Kate's love, she knows she can't open her heart without revealing her darkest secret--a shocking truth that, if discovered, could destroy them both.

I am about to finish Zsadist's book... and while I enjoyed the first two BDB books, this one made me and many times! He's my favorite so far.

I started it. Pretty corny. Wouldn't spend money on it, that's for sure!

Oh yeah, Zsadist was my fav. Until I got to Rhevenge, now it's a toss up on my fav

I'm still trying to figure Rhev out... this book hasn't revealed too much about him yet, although I was pretty excited to see him go drug-less when he thought he would be fighting with a lesser.

And is John who I think he is? He can't see Mary without physically freaking out.

I am now completely sucked in by Lara Adrian's Breed series. Anyone looking for a slightly different twist on vampire smut - here you go (fair warning, there are some echoes of BDB).

I just picked up the first 2 from Lara Adrian. Happy to hear a good review.

YUM.

I just finished Vishous's book last night. He and Butch are my favorite couple.

I enjoyed the Midnight Breed series. I also read her Dragon Chalice trilogy that she wrote as Tina St. John. I liked it but not quite as much as the Midnight Breeds.

Just started Rhev's book yesterday. I want him to let his "other side" out! I have a feeling he can kick some major butt.
