Okay~ I have been waiting for what feels like FOREVER for my copy of Stranger by Megan Hart to arrive in my mailbox.... And it is finally in my little hands!!!!!!! *well, actually it is home and I am at work**
I had to put Jacob by Jacquelyn Frank on the side, start I could start reading Stranger (I had only read chapter one of Jacob). I did read the first chapter at lunch and almost chocked! It was really good. *didn't know if my heart would actually beat properly again* Work sucks... it interrupted my reading time!! Don't they know I have better things to do with my time than work!!! lol!!! (Actually I love my job.)
But I have a confession to make:
I think the reason I got it today was because I did a little magic. I have been waiting like a good little girl for the mail to deliver it to me... I even sprinkle fairy dust on the damn box! Well, one night I had my cookie treat... but instead of one (like I am suppose to have); I had two. I think I pissed off the fairies by eating their cookie! So, last night I baked fresh chocolate chip cookies myself and left them the whole damn thing!! I also threaten them with laxatives in the cookies tonight if I did not get my book
***And guess who won*** haa haa! I love making myself laugh!!!

I hope you enjoy 'Stranger' Cecile! It was one of my top reads for 2009. I LOVE Megan Hart. Have you read 'Broken' by chance? Really, REALLY good read by Hart.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know. I also have so much better things to do than work. Like read. :)
:) VFG
Hi Cecile!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just the mail fairies when they get it right! (You know what a fan of fairies I am!)
All you have to do is say 'I do believe in fairies, I do, I do!' lolol
Congrats and good reading!
Dottie :)
No, I have not read Broken yet, but it is on my wish list. Does Broken follow Strangers or is a stand along book? Because if I need to get that one next, I will have to order it now. See... it's all about that damn Proceed to checkout button!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dottie... I promise I was not going to hurt them... Just give them something extra in the cookies - that's all!
ReplyDeleteBut I beleive or I wouldn't have given them ALLLL of my cookies!
No, 'Broken' is a stand alone. They all are really. However, there is some character reappearences for instance Sam, hero of 'Stranger', is Dan's brother, hero of 'Dirty'. Sadie, heroine of 'Broken', is Elle's psychologist, heroine of 'Dirty'. You can read the novels in any order but like I said, you'll just see past character reappearances. If you were to read them in some order it would be: 'Dirty', 'Broken', then 'Stranger'. But again, they're all stand alone novels.
ReplyDeleteWow, hope that wasn't confusing...
No that wasn't confusing... but damn.. there goes my OCD with the in order thing!!! ***breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, I can do this***
ReplyDeleteSo now I will be buying Broken and Dirty! My checkbook is really going to hate me now! I am not even worried about hubby!
Oh No!! Sorry! I wasn't aware of the OCD. Well join the club. I HAVE to read my books in order too. And you're right, the compulsion is just like OCD.
ReplyDeleteI have Stranger in my TBR mess/mountain! I really need to dig it out so I can read it!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your copy got to you!!! :)
I have Stranger waiting her on the shelf for me Cecile! I think it will be an Easter read.
ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think!
You enjoy

VampGirl... It's okay. The OCD comes out *frowning a little due to the fact that I am a control freak* I will still continue to read Stranger... I will just have to go in search of the other two and buy those **checkbook hating me** But hey... I try to tell hubby to look at it this way... at least I will have a home library in the NEAR future! Especially daughter likes to read too and her room is just about as full as mine is with books.
ReplyDeleteThat shall be my first review... Stranger. Now I have never done that before, so I am not quiet sure what I am suppose to do... but hey we'll figure it out together!
Blanche, you may want to open it up now and at least read the first chapter... if you are NOT hooked by then... well... **smiling**
Lea, thanks... I will definitely let you know. PS How is Ms. Tori doing?
Cecile...
ReplyDeleteIt's finally there - I know you are going to love it, after reading everyones thoughts on it, i know you are biting your nails to get your hands on it.
Vampgirl I was just reading your review of Stranger.... had to do a little search to find it...
Blanche - sorry I am on the other side of the pond - you would be more than Welcome to my copy of Stranger - Ohhh the pain of being a Brit..
Looking forward to your thought Cecile.
E.H.
Thanks for coming to my house today EH!! Here, there, across the pond... it doesn't matter! I feel the same way you do... If anyone wants to borrow a book to read... I am all for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I have no nails left after waiting so long to get into my greedy hands!!! That is why I started it on my lunch hour!
Cecile! I hope you enjoy Stranger!!
ReplyDeleteCecile, with writing your review, you can do anything you want. The sky is the limit. I'm sure how ever you choose to format your thoughts, your reviews will be fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteHi E.H.! I know...I should do a reorganization of my post labels. I find myself having trouble finding things too. :)
Happy Reading,
VFG
