LOL ... THAT is so true ... And I like the fact that David takes Emily's correcting him equally sportingly as Booth does.

I just read today's SGP update. I don't feel like watching it today. Maybe I'll watch it directly when Sid will get a slap. Suhana and Rano are being deliberately obtuse. And I for one am not interested in watching the saas-bahu drama.

Yeah I don't really feel like watching today's epi much either....I might watch it later....if and when the story starts moving with the slap to Sid....

LadyM, I read Judith McNaught's 'Almost Heaven'. I wasn't wowed by the story either, but I found it good enough. I really liked the leads, Ian and Elizabeth. There conversations were witty and interesting, IMO.

There were certain things which I didn't appreciate though.

1. The repetitive description of Ian's 'sinful and dangerous rugged handsomeness', and Elizabeth's 'angelic and alluring beauty'. They are extremely good-looking people......d'uh we get it already!

2. The unnecessary and broad description of the kisses. They were just kisses, why devote half of page writing about it?

3. Then there are some other these and that stuffs which irritated me.

Barring all these, I liked reading the book. Since I have learned to skip the 'lovemaking' bits, so the characters weren't tainted for me. Which is exactly why, I liked both Elizabeth and Ian so much. Especially Ian ;)

Wow Mels you only pop in here to post your book reviews? No interest in talking to us otherwise at all??😛 Thanks a lot😛

Most of the romance novels dwell on the electrifying first touch, earth shattering first view, scintillating first kiss (kisses) and the other explicit details of lovemaking ... It's a given. It's what the readers crave for. Very little thought is given to the characters and their interaction. That's why there are so few romance novels out there that actually stick with you.

Why can they have an ordinary looking hero and a diva looking heroine? Or a simple looking heroine and a sinfully gorgeous hero?

LOL LadyM, let me give you some well-intentioned advice.....don't try to explain romance novels and how they work to Mels.....that's a lost cause....LOL.....Mels can't handle them or understand why they work that way.....yeh topic chhedoge toh khud hi phasoge awkward questions answer karne mein :P

Heyyy Kavya! Long time! How're you doing?

Nothing much up with me....you tell what's new?? You must be pretty busy with work and all, right? Still watching Geet? LOL.....Oh and do you still watch LTL?? I've been following the jungle track since the past few days and that was good I thought....some interesting Dutta-Nakku moments.

Phew! Finally, I'm back here....I was cut off from the internet for 4 whole days...life is sach main pathetic without it....One more day and I'd have gone completely crazyy...

Helllloooooooooooo?/ Anyone here? Any earth shattering news? Any Abhay Sonam/ BnB news?

Let me go read the back pgs now...

Heyy Mash! Oh I was wondering what happened to you....MIA since so many days....oh so you had internet issues? That sucks :((....chalo good to see you back now :-)

No Abhay-Sonam news that I'm aware of.....I posted some more Bones spoilers in the FC.....and there's a Demily vid interview a couple of pages back that's cute....you should check that out.

Other than that nothing earth-shattering to report, Ma'am....this place is dead as a graveyard usually anyways....lol
