Another year, another list. So here goes 50 films and 50 books in '09. Feel free to recommend anything. Ratings: 5=loved it, 4=really liked it, 3=liked it, 2=it was okay, 1=hated it.

*Besides the 50bookchallenge, I'm going to attempt the 15000pages challenge (though I'll actually be going for 20,000+ pages). Wish me luck.

Book List / Page Count:
1. An Offer From a Gentleman ( Read more... )

I'm glad to hear you like Lisa Kleypas and Julia Quinn, those two are some of my favorite romance authors. I've heard about the Cynster series but I've only read that one and unfortunately wasn't too impressed with it. I did know that The Raven Prince was part of a series but I couldn't get through the next installment. Assuming you read them, did you like the series? Do you happen to have a goodreads account? Since we have a lot of similar tastes in books, I'd love to add you over there ( ... )

--- Yes, I did like the series, though it was a long time ago I read them so my taste might have changed since then at lest when I read them I liked them :) Actually I have a Kindle now :)
I might have to pick them up again. A Kindle? I always wanted one. I do have a Sony Reader. Lately I've been reading more ebooks than print books.

-- Yep, got one just this month! I am "somuchfic" :)
Have you had much time to explore the site yet?

-- I don't dance either and haven't watched the other two but watched a lot of the DWTS seasons :)
DWTS is quite addicting. I could watch those pros dance all day, LOL.

--- I read the books long before the movies were ever going to happen. As for the hype - I don't listen to any of that or get involved in any of that.
I did too! Someone on my friends list recommended it to me. It's amazed me how much of a phenomenon it's become. Have you ever read a book because the hype around it?

--- I've read a HUGE amount of both types of books, actually I write teen and romance books myself, almost been ( ... )

I love the Kindle, TOTALLY worth the money! Actually, I get PDF files from people on the net (and sell them) for like $1 a book verus $8+ for paperbacks and $20+ for hardbacks and then convert it to the Kindle format. Saves a lot of money! Lemme know your fav books, I might have them you can put on your Sony, cause Sony takes PDF.

Actually, not really. Have to take more time to look it over. How is it?

I have, just to see what the fuss is all about and to form my own opinions, but usually not, usually I just read what I want or find.

Oh wow, that's really amazing! Any particular sub-genre like historical, contemporary, paranormal romance? I started reading romances in 2007 ( ... )

I know! It really is an investment, one that I'm glad I took a chance on. Aw, thank you for the offer. Honestly at the moment I can't think of anything. Maybe you could recommend something to me, that would be great. I'm always looking for some. If I come up with some titles, I'll be sure to let you know.

I love it! I've met some great people over there and had some fun discussions. Additionally, it's a wonderful place to write thoughts on books and organize any lists you have. I'm sure once you get a chance to check it out, you'll like it.

Oh wow, 2007? I started probably in the early 90's sometimes, like 93-95. I was really young, ( ... )
