Is it too early for wine?

Loopyseven

I hope not cause I opened a bottle .

It's going on 8 for you, so you're about an hour or too late in my book!  

I found a really good hard cider in Whistler, and I have 2 bottles of it left in the fridge, and it sounds really good right now.  It's not even 5 here yet though, so I'll probably wait a bit.  I think we are running to the mall in a little bit too so I guess I should wait until after.

mejane123

Defintiely not!  I'm about to start on my first glass, too!

H just got home with pizza. We have 3 bottles of wine here, so maybe I should have some tonight. H can't have any with me b/c he is on call. The problem is that if I don't finish the bottle in one night, it is a pita to get in the fridge. The fridge in this apt is so damn small and we have a lot of crap in it right now.

Birdie1483

Nope! I'm drinking a beer and have some wine in the fridge.

So I just finished Water for Elephants. What should I read next?

BunnyChii

FI just finished a bottle...I'm sure you're good!

mica178

I would, but I"m about to head out.  But it's not too earlyin my book, and it's only 4:45pm here!

Loopyseven

Oh good .  DNB - I was cooking dinner for last 30 minutes so I just sat down.  

Birdie - They Boy In the Striped Pajamas was kind of good, kind of disturbing.  House Rules (Jodi Picoult) was quite good.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

Ugh, I'm still hungover from last night and I have to go out to a friend's birthday party tonight.

Birdie1483

I saw both of those on the best sellers list. I'm kind of feeling like a romance right now, but not a cheesy one. I'm not sure what to do. :-/

Beachy730

I'm pretty sure our dinner tonight is going to consist of ordering pizza.  We are pretty beat from our drive home, and I definitely have no desire to cook tonight.  It's pretty sad though that H and I have decided it's much easier to order 2 smalls in whatever kind we each want than trying to compromise on toppings.  

Beachy730

I haven't read a single book since I finished the HG series.  And I have a bunch downloaded on my kindle too.

<div><em>The Art of Racing in the Rain </em>is really good if you like those animal stories.  It's told from the POV of the dog, so it's pretty funny in some parts, and it isn't QUITE as heart-wrenching as <em>Marley & Me</em>.  Also, Kristan Higgins writes really cute romantic-comedies.  They're not those super cheesy, Nora Roberts or Nicholas Sparks, but they're still pretty cute.</div>

Birdie1483

mery, that's when you just drink more

Thanks! Now I'm going to become your good reads friend...

Birdie - Nora Roberts is my "go to" author for romance.  I'm obsessed.  I think I have just about everything she's ever published.  Which is like almost 12 foot of bookshelf space (3 x 4 ft. bookshelves almost full)

Loopyseven

Beachy - we get two regular sized pizzas and have leftovers .

Dinner tonight was cheeseburgers and oven fries (the frozen kind, not fresh) and wine .  While I was cooking though, I put some chicken breasts on the foreman grill and made some rice and asparagus for lunches next week.

I'd have a glass of wine right now if it sounded good. Instead I'm laying on a hot pad on my couch because my back is killing me and this is the only thing that helps. I woke up to a pretty strong contraction this morning but it didn't lead into anything.

We do that too beachy.   H and I are off to date night - I'll be back on later!

Birdie1483

We had Wild Turkey marinated pork chops, mac-n-cheese, and some Steamer's garden medley thing. It was quite good!

<div>You think Nora Roberts is cheesy?  I always think she writes a pretty good story.  I am not a huge fan of some of the more paranormal stuff she's written but I like most of her other trilogies as a light fun read.</div>

Ciaram22

I think we are going to have pizza for dinner as well. We will probably order it in a little bit.

<div>Ditto this, I heart Nora Roberts!  I can't read too many all in a row because the theme that's so present across all her books gets annoying after awhile, but her books just never get old.  I loved her Sign of Seven series.</div>

Beachy730

Yay have fun Andy!  We had date night all week.  We are back to me being on the couch knotting and H up in the man zone playing video games.

Woo hoo! I like your books. They gave me some good ideas. I just loaded 5-6 samples to my Kindle.

</div><div>I LOVE Nora Roberts, I have so many of her books and I love how detailed everything she writes is.  But yeah, I often see her romances as cheesy romances (super intense, in love and engaged to be married in a short period of time, super predictable, that kind of thing).  But that's why I like them, they're a guaranteed happy ending.  I don't think cheesy = bad, I was saying that Kristan Higgins' romances aren't that kind of romance.  If that makes any sense.  </div>

<div>Nice!  I love GR, I've found so many books on there, plus keeping up with it gives me something to do.  If you like paranormal romances, check out HP Mallory's books.  I thought they were really good, plus they're self-published and I like to support that.</div>

Birdie1483

I'm still trying to get over my Twilight obsession. I wish there were more books.

Loopyseven

Yeah, that makes sense.  And yes, if you read a lot of Nora Roberts, you can see her "typical" storyline.

noelwellin

It was so hard for me to get over Twilight.  The Vampire Academy series was actually really good if you're looking for another vampire theme.  There are 6 of them, and there'll be a spin-off this summer.  I've read them all a few times now.

Loopy, did you read Nora Roberts' Circle Trilogy?  Usually I'm able to jump right into her books, but for some reason I can't get into that one.
