REC # 1: I'm reading Elizabeth Hoyt's The Raven Prince, a refreshingly different, yet familiar, historical. The hero has pockmarked scars from smallpox and the heroine is a REAL widow and the story takes place mostly in the countryside, around the earl's estate home. I'm enjoying the different take of a few familiar romance set-ups very much. Have any of you read her Prince books?
One thing though...nothing to do with the book...every time I read the parts mentioning the hero's scent in...ah...a certain region, I kept thinking about my new and unwelcomed knowledge about smegma (re: a couple of posts back). :shrrriiiieeeek: I can't bleach that article out of my head!
REC # 2: To distract myself, I added a link on the right side under Procrastination Station. It's called Naughty American History and if you answer the questions correctly, the teacher (sex of your choice, of course) takes off his/her clothing one by one ;-). His smile is a bit smarmy but who cares, he has a nice butt. And yeah, front too. And his fake cheer for you for getting all your history questions right at the end? Totally worth the chuckle. Go try it!
***Will pick winner for yesterday's book Monday night since I know many of you skip the weekends and then drop by here on Monday to catch up. Rules: You must comment under yesterday's post, that's all. Winner gets Jaci Burton's SURVIVING DEMON ISLAND.

LOL, you crack me up. Have read her 1st and 2nd book and I really enjoyed them. Often feel a bit blah about historicals recently, but loved her stuff and have nearly finished Never Lie to a Lady by Liz Carlyle which is very cool. A very different place for a hero to be in, usually its the chick, think its a good read!
I've never heard of this writer but the premise sounds interesting. I'll check her out.
As for the Naughty History lesson . . . can anyone tell me why this wasn't a requirement when I was in high school. I would have passed with flying cloth . . . umm colors.

Hey great minds think alike, I just posted over on RBL about this book. It could have gone soooo squicky, but didn't. Of course, I hadn't read that extremely illuminating article before the book (lucky lil old me) so I was good. Mind you it is actually nearly illegal to get a boy child circumsized over here. Hardly any doctors will do it anymore and it is severely frowned upon. So next time you look at all those Aussie actors ....hmmmmm.
Sarah,
I've heard great things about Liz Carlyle's NLtaL. I might even have it on my TBR!
Deborah,
Can you see how much history facts we'd have been cramming at home to get 100 percent? ;-)
Chez,
Yeah, most of the world's males aren't circumscised. I didn't know that it was "illegal" to do that in Australia, though. I'm sure everyone smells great, what with colognes these days and most women in the world probably have known about smegma and have no problem with it. But that article is now STUCK in my brain. Why, why, why did I look at the pictures?!
