Nora Roberts is matching donations up to $5000 for those who donate to Defenders of Wildlife. Check out the site. You can even adopt a ferret. No, not the cute ferret from yesterday ;-)...I mean, a real ferret, which is also very cute.
Meanwhile, as you can see from the pics, my mutant pom, Bad Puppy Jiggle Low, isn't happy at La Nora's penchant for boiling puppies. Yes, he's now a LOLNoraBadPuppy (TM). You know there will be more coming.

I had 3000 visitors at the blog the past few days. You know, this Internetz Speed is amazing. Already, PhotoBucket has sent me an email warning me that my bandwidth is almost gone. Now that's serious hot-linking going on out there! So if you see the Red Xs on the right side when you click on my blog these next few weeks, it's not your computer, it's me with 0 bandwidth left at PhotoBucket.

Because I want to let my readers show off that WE ARE VERSATILE people, who also enjoy the romance genre (and not just the nipples in it), I would love it if you post the title of the last NON-ROMANCE book you read. It can be fiction or non-fiction.
Mine: WHAT THE CORPSE REVEALED by Hugh Miller
Bear with me while I learn. The first button likes the POST. The second button likes the BLOG site. Please help me by "liking" me. Thanks!

The very last thing I read that wasn't remotely a romance was Agatha Christies "Thirteen Problems". Before that I did a complete re-read of Rex Stout's Nero Wolf series.
Protect and Defend by Vince Flynn.
Nightside 5: Paths Not Taken by Simon Green. I LOVE this urban fantasy series.
Had to think about this one for a sec, LOL. Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent by Anthony Rapp
Spook Country - William Gibson
Not counting the reference books I read, which I WILL CITE if I use quotes from.
Oh bad puppy is adowable! And Nora should not BOIL him! Even if he chews up romance books.
I am reading Jodi Picoult's "Second Glance", Julia Cameron's "The Artists Way" and Sonia Choquettes "Trust Your Vibes at Work".

Blowing My Cover: My Life as a CIA Spy by Lindsay Moran
and
Atlas Shrugged
I just started "The Years of Rice and Salt" by Kim Stanley Robinson and just finished Anne and Todd McCaffrey's "Dragon Fire".
The Eyre Affair and I loved it!
Just finished Janet Evanovich's "Plum Lucky." Just started "The Secret" by Rhonda Byrne.
"The Alchemist" by Paul Coelho and "What Jane Austen ATE and Charles Dickens Knew: From Fox Hunting to Whist - The Facts of Daily Life in 19th-Century England" by Daniel Pool
In the last month or two I've read a biography of Shakespeare, National Book Award winner The Devil in the White City, Life on the Refrigerator Door: Notes Between a Mother and a Daughter by Alice Kuipers, Spanking Shakespeare by Jake Wizner, The Door in the Hedge by Robin McKinley, and Sleeping Doll by Jeffrey Deaver. I'm currently reading Blood of the Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani.
The thing is, most romance readers I know enjoy a variety of books. I usually have a number of books going at once--one on audio, one that my husband and I read aloud together and discuss, one for my book group, and one that I read just for fun. Usually at least one of those is a young adult book, at least one is "literary", and at least one is a romance, mystery, or fantasy novel.
Oh...do I have to? Mere Anarchy by Woody Allen. Go ahead and skip it.
Last finished was Self-Made Man: One Woman's Journey into Manhood and Back by Norah Vincent
Strange notion and it was actually really interesting, makes me appreciate not being a man a little more.
unc girl, that blowing my cover was cute, you might also like Class 11 by TJ Waters, written by a 40 year old man instead of a 20 year old woman and right after 9/11 so it was a different tone still interesting to read, but the whole book is about the class and their training
Sandstorm by James Rollins. And before that Black Order, which is by the same author. It was a most "thrilling" weekend!
The Book of Lost Things by John Connelly.
Oh, dang, that's wrong! I just finished Deanna Raybourn's SILENT IN THE SANCTUARY a couple of days ago. I got the John Connelly book on my mind because I've been meaning to write a review.
It was either The Academ's Fury by Jim Butcher or Serial Killers by Peter Vronsky.
I just finished 'Tegan's Way' by Tegan Wagner - amazing and so sad...
Mine was (is, since I'm still reading it) Stephen Clarke's Talk to the Snail: Ten Commandments for Understanding the French.
Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton (did I spell it right?)
Whoops! The Anonymous reading Stephen Clarke is me -- JP. :-)
You see? I don't even have to vent and rail against those who dismiss romance readers like so many bon bon eating horny housewives. Just look at all those different variety of books!
When I asked a month or so ago for you to list your real life jobs, and from that, I knew you'd all be reading interesting books!
And strange ones too...WOODY ALLEN's MERE ANARCHY? heh. There is no "mere" with Woody.
And the Snail: Ten Commandments book sounds like my kind of thing.
Good job, everyone! We spanked 'em good. ;-)
Lottery by Patricia Wood.
No one can hide from the all-seeing eye of Nora.
But the puppy's too cute to boil.
Just finished Terry Pratchett's Thud.
Ain't a damned thing wrong with horny women! Although? I SUCK at being a housewife. I think it's the horny part that helps my dude overlook my flaws at keeping house and stuff.
