The result of overdosing on Brockmann

[koalathebear]

I'm almost all glommed out. I pretty much finished the two sets of Brockmann. Having glommed so many of Brockmann's novels in such a short period of time, I offer my comments on "cliches" or elements that Brockmann likes to use in her books:

I'm in awe! OMG! How on earth did you read all of that in so short of time? And be able to make nice summaries and value judgements? You must be a SEAL yourself - (oh, yeah, no women allowed...groan)

Wonderful list of cliches :wg: and followed by the purple prose, it's even funnier. I think my "thumbs up/thumbs down" list is a little different than yours, but it's been a while since I read them and I can't remember exactly why. I remember being completely blown away by Blue - that was the first one I read. Cowboy and Wildcard were also favorites (their names! guh) and Stan stands out as being unique in the crowd. I notice selfconsciously that I can't remember the names of the books, can't remember the plots, can't remember the heroine's names - just the men o_O And if Amazon won't ship the new book to you, I would be happy to!

That is so kind of you!!!! :)

I'll see how I go first with amazon. I'm definitely not a SEAL, I've just always had a bad habit of not being able to control myself when reading. It's been the same since I was in primary school - once I had my hands on a book I wanted to read, I would read and read and read. I'd even read in the shower, holding the book out to try to stop it getting wet. Of course I did the cliche of reading under the covers with a torch :)

Linda Howard can be quite funny .... she's very into the alpha male cliche and her love scenes are very full on - but somehow she manages to maintain a sense of humour most of the time :)

I want to arrange to have tim tams sent to you! Can you email me your addy to koalathebear@gmail.com? This is a locked post so I'm not spreading my email address for all and sundry to see :)

Koala - I will certainly send you my address, although you really don't need to send me TimTams! If anyone needs TimTams sent to them, it's *you*!

I was just thinking about you while looking at this website: http://www.dynamiccity.org/
My head whirls. It's so much, on such a scale, that I really cannot wrap my head around it. Even the pictures just boggle my mind. Boom Tower? omg.

I just went over and emailed you. Bye for now :)
