I've probably posted this somewhere on the forum before, but if you haven't seen it before... dead-on impression of K-Stew LOL.

That's exactly how I was. I never get into books that are "popular" like Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Twilight, I don't know why, so I felt like the same thing was going to happen to his.

I really did hate the ending of the third book. I felt like it was WAY too rushed and it honestly reminded me of a fan fic that someone just got tired of writing and decided to rush the ending.

The third book jumped the shark big time, I agree. I remember sitting there thinking "Wow this got really dull." it just became the same thing over and over. I never got the fanfic vibe as much as I did from the third book.

See, me either! I hated how she found out she was pregnant and then BAM, they're in a field with a kid and she's pregnant again. Plus, he changed WAY too quickly. That was so fan fiction LOL

So I finally got to the sex part of this book. LOL!!
Uh...I'm annoyed by Ana and how quickly she gives into this guy without questioning anything out loud. She just goes with whatever he says and I find that so dumb. I think when he showed her that room she should have ran out, especially being the sweet virgin girl that it makes her out to be. I would have...F#$# that! Also just the fact that he wants her to sign something and she doesn't even read it.
Even with all that said I'm still reading on...lol.

I haven't read it, and now I certainly won't, lol. You've convinced me ladies!

Now what about the "Fallen"-books, are they worth the read? (Not the right thread, I know, but still..)

Ok, this book becomes so popular that the biggest publication house in my country are going to translate it into our language. I'm just a bit worried, though, cause some people say that this story has explicit words, and lots of sex scenes. I am not sure how they are going to translate that. Because English words are fine but when you literally translate it into our language, it sounds really off.

I made some comment about how people who actually liked Magic Mike without a smidge of irony involved are likely the same people who like 50 Shades and my mother was like "I liked 50 Shades of Grey! Can you help me get it off my Playbook to give to my friend?" Absolutely not. I will have no part in this.

Also, I will never look at her the same just because I'm weirded out knowing my MUM liked that book.

I loved it but only because I thought it was hilarious and of course because of all the hotties lol But I wasn't like "Oh wow the plot was so deep and meaningful" because there WASN'T ONE! haha But I went into it expecting as much.

I guess I'm one of the few, but I have no desire to see Magic Mike LOL I'd rather go see Ted.

The women at work in advertising were acting like horny old cougars over the movie the day before it came out. I was ready to go buy them all vibrators.

I think you're right with that!

My mom texted me last week and said "Can we go see Magic Mike at the movies lol?"  I couldn't tell if she was kidding or not, but apparently she was - thank god LOL.  I have no interest in seeing it.  She bought 50 Shades for her tablet specifically because I told her not to, but she said she couldn't get into it.  I told her how we all rip it apart on here.

I want to see Magic Mike only for the eye candy, is there supposed to be a plot??? LOL  However, I don't think I will actually make it.  I go in the AM before noon the tickets are 5 bucks here so that is when we typically go to movies anyway.

My Mom only wants to see it for Alicide from True Blood. I was like he's not even a main character...

I saw Magic Mike just because everyone was talking about it and the trailer looked like it had a plot. I thought the guys were hot and stuff, but I agree there wasn't much of a plot. What's sad is it really wouldn't have taken much to GET a plot going in there if they'd cut some of the first two hours of the movie and developed more from when the non-Channing guy ODs on to Mike questioning himself as a stripper and discovering love with the chick that looked like Julia Stiles but wasn't.... lol I could almost see it being one of the fan fics we'd write where it's like Brian questioning if he wants to be in BSB anymore lmfao... Is that crazy? I think it is.

But that was the other thing about Magic Mike. LMAO A lot of it reminded me of the sets at a BSB concert and the girls in the crowd reminded me of the fans at the shows when Nick like grabs his crotch or whatever. I was like holy crap they're one g-string from being these guys. LMFAO.... I had all I could do not to laugh out loud in the theater after I thought of that.

Particularly when I started putting AJ in the big hairy guys' place in my mind.
