Vaginal Fantasy Book Club discussion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDjgrg...

We missed Veronica a bunch!! :)

I thought the discussion was more animated because you guys liked the book better. It is a terrific book!

and even whithout the full party, you totally pulled it off

i did the house quiz and that's the result.

You belong in Gentian House. Gentle, spiritual, and a little bit mystical, sex is a meeting of the souls for you. You're likely to believe in soul mates, or find that love and love-making is the best when there's a connection that you may not be able to explain.

that really fraked me out!

I can't believe I missed watching this live - the Kushiel and Naamah books are my all time favorites!

I think you all did a great job explaining it! I pretty much give this book to anyone who reads fantasy and I'll probably make a ton of people watch this video once they've read it!

Thank you for making the Vaginal Fantasy book club, it's great to have a place to discuss this genre of books.

So I just wastched from last night. I was in for a little while until my head hit the keyboard.

On Bonnie's topic on Christian/Religious Romance, I have read quite a few. There is a huge overtone of Christianity and really no naughty parts to speak of. There is no bodice ripping and they may dicuss the fact they are getting into bed (after marriage of course) but there are no details. If you want straight romance with no naughty, there you go.

In short, it's nice but not up to Bonnie naughty meter status. Mine either, to be honest..... Love ya!!

Really enjoyed this video. Have read both the books and really liked them alot. Second time reading for both. Was listening on my headphones and ipad and giggling away. My husband was curious to see what i found so delightful. When I explained what it was he was interested and had a little blush. Cute.

Here's the write up of the June hangout. http://www.safireblade.com/?p=5071

There was so much I didn't cover but wow! What a great hangout and what an excellent MIRC channel chat. What a great end to what was otherwise the crappiest Monday I've had in a long time. Thank you are for making this group such fun. The Ladies are great but really you fellow group members had me rolling at times and really thinking at others. I'm honored to be around such great minds ;)

I have to say, I found this book awhile ago, and within a week had bought all the following books in the next two related trilogies! I adore ADORE this series, all smut and romance aside this is bar none one of the best created series's I've ever read! (and I'm a Tolkien fan)

My first live event and enjoyed it greatly with the exception of veronica missing.

I loved the trilogy, and it was compared to the hobbit, and Dune --both epic fantasies-- but I think the main difference is that the author imparted a lot of information in a not so painful way and as "Phedre" remembered it, as a memoire, I love her writing style and I normally hate first person writing because of all the "I's". Furthermore, if I have to ready another long list of dwarf names all on one page right in the middle of the story or as in the book of genenis, he begots them, etc. and so forth, it will be too soon. Anyway, sorry for rambling, I am tired. gnite, until next time.

I saw Hyacinth as Katy Perry's Ex-huspand, long curly hair, not quite the filthy mouth but you know what I mean, LOL

I am not sure what Bonnie said about hyacinth, but so don't know if what I found relates or not. I like mythology, and knew there was a story about it but couldn't remember it, anyway:


I found this on hyacinth and the name is from greek mythos and belonged to a boy.

From wikipidia:

Joscelyn is a girl's name in our society, but only Hyancinthe's name was mentioned as odd. I love when guys have girls names, like Ashley or Courtney, both originally male names.

I missed Veronica's input in the show, I kept wondering what she thought of the book and how she would have responded to some of the things that were said.

Kiala definitely seemed to be more animated, she is usually pretty quiet. It was really nice to hear more of her perspective and learn a little more about her personality.

I desperately wish it didn't start so late on a work night!

It was funny to note that people who had read the entire Kushiels trilogy were so into it, loved it without a doubt, and then those who had only read Dart were a bit unhappy with the massive amount of world building. I just wanted to say that the first read through for me was like that too, then i read the trilogy and re-read it, and MY GOD! Highly recommend everyone read all 3 books and you will be as obsessed with them as well all are.

My absolute fave books <3

I was just coming on here to post that :)

I appreciated that Kiala was more animated too! I think she tends to do what I do - start talking about something, someone chimes in with something, but then forgets to keep talking about what she was talking about in the first place. It makes everyone think I'm super quiet and shy.

It's so funny I'm about 2/3rds the way through Kushiel's Dart and I thought -- those girls from Vaginal Fantasy have to give this one a read!

So naturally I come to find out you've already got a show about it.

So now i'm DLing the video so I can watch once i'm done with the book. So far the first 1/3rd was a bit of a struggle (about a million names to keep track of) but now it's getting really good and starting to come together into a really great book. I'll finish it soon so I can read the rest of the comments (i hate spoilers)

keep it up

OMG I am sorry but I am listening to you guys on you tube and I am wanting to cry!!! I know everyone has their own views of books and worlds, but first off most of this based in the french language and french type culture... OMG Bonnie... Hiacynthe is a French name not English.... OMG and Jocelin....
But that is the whole point of safety word, is a word you won't normally say... and when it's said everything immediately stops.... Ya I wanted to cry because... there is a very French style court romance epic world about this book.
Being a french person I loved it... it's very hard to explain.
Yes I am with them Melisandre was beautiful, dangerous, exquisite. So yes I never knew you guys had this book club and I will be paying attention now to the books you choose and participating.

So glad I'm not the only one to finish late!! (though I'm not done yet). I fear I may never get to the July books! Yikes!

It's a pretty long book !

What's so funny is that I started the book just out of the blue and then remembered seeing a vaginal fantasy hangout vid on youtube (very entertaining). So I came here to recommend it as a choice for the club and whadyaknow you guys already were reading it.

I had bought it to read eventually back in May, and then was caught up reading Tigana (another long one!) for the Sword & Laser group when this started, which only delayed me more. I'm determined to finish it, though! Especially since it's a book I'd really wanted to read anyway :)

It's good. I'm trying to find the next few in the series. I'll have a look for Tigana .. I don't know that one.

Enjoy !

:) finished 'Dart' and I have to say - not deterred by the world-building, the style, the names. Great books take me on great journeys - this was one of them.
