Sunday Night Chat

It's time for Sunday Night Chat!!! YAY! I am so excited about our first two Breaking Dawn quotes! They are as follows:

July 11:
Alice: "I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors."
Edward: "Why don't you just tell me who wins?"
Alice: "I do. Excellent."

July 12:
Bella: "Oh, Mike! How will I go on?"

Let's chat tonight about Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and these wonderful new quotes from Breaking Dawn! 10:30 EST.

Hugs! Blue

Chat Tonight!!!

Hey everybody! I am back from vacation and ready for tonight's chat! We had a great time at the Jersey shore, went to the Ocean City Boardwalk, putt putt golfing and many many days at the beach. We had a really great time!

I also read while on vacation: I finished "Slave to Sensation" by Nalini Singh and "Marked" by PC and Kristin Cast. Both were excellent reads and I have gotten the next two books in each of those series. I'm going to post my own little reviews of those books later this week.

Doug read "Twilight" while we were on vacation too! I'm going to ask him to give me his own review of Twilight, but I do know he was disappointed in the end battle. He was hoping for this big showdown between Edward and James, which did happen, but we didn't get to see it. I explained to him that the book is from Bella's perspective and she was unconscious! HA! So I'll see if I can get a little bit more from him about his overall opinion.

Finally, I listened to the first 6 chapters of "Eclipse" on the way home. With that in mind, I'd like to broach this week's "The Great Debate" topic from the Lexicon. December posted the debate question for this week and I'd love for us to discuss and debate this tonight on our chat. December's post follows:

Is imprinting as good as ordinary human love? For the imprinter? For the imprintee?

Does it undermine the worth of love if you have no say about it? Does it make a relationship stronger -- or less meaningful -- if there is no possibility that the imprinter will ever fall out of love?

How would you feel about either imprinting or being imprinted on?

What do you think Stephenie wants us to think about imprinting?

Let's talk about this and begin our Breaking Dawn thoughts. We may want to have more frequent chats once the Lexicon message boards are closed beginning July 14, since we'll all miss each other so much!

Yahooo! Meet me on the Lex Chat tonight, 10:30 EST, 9:30 CST, 8:30 Mountain, 7:30 Pacific.

Love and hugs,

Blue

PS: Below are a few more vacation picts and a little video of the kids boogie boarding in the Ocean!

Lara Adrian on Chat Today!

Hey all! I saw this blog post on myspace from Lara Adrian and had to share!

Online Chat Event -- Today 6/28 @ 4-5pm Eastern!

Last-minute FYI that I will be online chatting today at author Jacquelyn Frank's website as part of her ALL DAY multi-author chat marathon extravaganza! I'm only going to be on deck for one hour -- 4pm to 5pm Eastern -- during which time I'll also be offering up autographed copies of my books to a couple of randomly selected (or some other method Jacki deems appropriate, which, let's face it, could be *anything* LOL) chat attendees. Hope you can make it!

Here's a link to the chat room, which does require Java, fyi:

Jacki Frank's Chat Room

I don't know if I can make, but if any of you can and find out good info, let me know and I'll post it here!

Hugs, Your Vampirotica Reporter, Blue

What is Blue taking to the Beach?

Peeps! As I get ready to head out to the beach, with my laptop in tow (well, not actually at the beach) I thought I would update the blog. Many of us have been chatting about a few authors that we want to try out, and we never seem to be able to remember those names when we're in the bookstore (I called Ouisa, CJ called me, Mandy called me, I called Mandy, Teak called BR....) SO, here are a few of my HOT beach reads:


Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh (http://www.nalinisingh.com/slave.html) This is the first in the psy/changling series. Goodnigth_Elizabeth of Lex fame recommended it and said it is super HOT, so I'm ALL about it, of course.





Nightkeepers by Jessica Andersen (http://www.jessicaandersen.com/) - by the way, her website rocks out! JR Ward and Doc Jess, as she is fondly referred to, hosted a chat a week or so ago that Simp and I were both on. The WARDen could not say enough fab rave reviews about Nightkeepers, and we all seem to keep forgetting her name, so here it is!!!!



Of course, I'm taking Twilight with me!
And the first one in the Stephanie Plum Series by Janet Evanovich, "One for the Money" (http://www.evanovich.com/), which my momma told me to read! (and sprty!) And finally, a book SSVD has read and recommends, "Marked", by PC Cast and Kristen Cast (can be found in our fave young adult section)


Finally, we all are excited to have a new author to read! Alexis Morgan is a coffee-drinkin', email chattin' new friend of Simplicity's and has a new series coming out in August, beginning with "Dark Warrior Unleashed" - WOOHOOO! (http://www.alexismorgan.com/talions.html) If we all play our cards right, and get this book right after our "Breaking Dawn" frenzy, we might even be able to have Alexis as a guest author on our Book club chat! Now, is that not about the very coolest thing ever? Simplicity, you awe us with your awesomeness!

I feel compelled to give a shout out to JR Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood), Lara Adrian (Midnight Breed) and Charlaine Harris (Sookie!) just in case anyone has forgotten our favorite authors. Oh, yes and there's this Stephenie Meyer chic, who brought us all together, gave us a reason to polish and/or groom and meet each other in the first place. Now she is all that and a bag of chips. And to my two favoritest fansites eva, The Twilight Lexicon and The Host Index! WOOT!

So I have you all set up to read along with me, check out the author websites and stop by the Lex and Dex (NOT that you didn't already have those bookmarked!)

As for chat while I'm on vaca, not sure about that. I'll have to see how it rolls, I'll send an email if I think I can make it. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves!

Love and Hugs,

Blue

Peep Chat MOVED!

This weeks peep show is NOT for the faint of heart! Peeps from Hell is hilarious, and strange and if you might be offended, I wouldn't check this out. I, however, loved it!

I need to re-schedule our weekly peep chat to Thursday evening, June 19th, 10:30 EST, 9:30 CST, 8:30 MT, 7:30 PT.

Hope everyone can make the re-scheduled chat! Meet me in the LEX chat room! This week, we should have all re-read Twilight, although I know I have not yet! We can talk about the movie (Ouisa shared this awesome scene between Edward and Bella on a field trip - note Edward's cocky behavior and Bella's returning snark, love it!) as well as the plans for the Breaking Dawn Concert Series plans! Remember, tickets go on sale this Saturday and you KNOW I'll be heading to Chicago's Harris Theater! WOOOHOOOO!

I hope to see you all there! Hugs and love,

Blue

PS: Here's a little something from this week with my kiddies: Haley backstage at her dress rehearsal prior to her ballet recital and Joey and I at his Baseball games last night!
