HomeInMyShoes | 2759 comments Zen Happiness: How To Find Joy And Happiness In 7 Simple Steps. I wonder if there's a money back guarantee?

Probably not - I'm sure it's something "happiness not guaranteed inside of buildings" like my cell phone reception.

Cause (as I'm sure you know) I've already failed in reviewing all books read, lol.

Not this one. The review challenge. You know, the one you snarked on when you saw my goal, lol.


message 20: by HomeInMyShoes (last edited Feb 22, 2016 11:46AM) (new)

HomeInMyShoes | 2759 comments I don't believe 'snark' is the correct verb. 'Chortle' maybe, but never 'snark'.

Actually, I may have 'snarked'.

Is this when I say "I told you so?" :P


message 21: by MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Resident Book Pusher (new)

Same. Dammit. :P


message 25: by MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Resident Book Pusher (new)

MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 3289 comments DO you think this book would work for "book with blue cover?"

The Deal (Off-Campus, #1) by Elle Kennedy


message 26: by HomeInMyShoes (new)

HomeInMyShoes | 2759 comments Is that a rhetorical question?
If you have to ask the question...

:P


message 27: by Christa, The Renewed (new)

Christa (christaw) | 1457 comments All I see is abs.

But I say yes. Because abs.

Thanks for the link - you've just reminded me why lycra is sometimes an acceptable choice...

message 36: by Christa, The Renewed (last edited Mar 09, 2016 01:57PM) (new)

Christa (christaw) | 1457 comments And today on "When Good Threads Go Bad Dancing"...

It's been an hour and the song is still in my head. :D

But dat woman, tho... That seems dangerous, I think. One of those "go big or go home" moments, I guess. We all risk our lives daily on the roads, adding in "naked" and "dancing' probably isn't as much of a stretch as I'm thinking it is? It is Texas, after all.


message 37: by MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Resident Book Pusher (new)

MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 3289 comments LOL!!

ANd it does seem verryyy dangerous. My money's on those bath salts things theyve been talking about. But she was there and doing her thing@


message 38: by MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Resident Book Pusher (new)

MrsJoseph *grouchy* (mrsjoseph) | 3289 comments √ - A book about a culture you're unfamiliar with - Burn Review to come!

So, this is where I steal Christa's idea about "culture you're unfamiliar with." This is a romance about demons. I know nothing about demon culture and this book explained in full.

;-D
