Tuesday Teaser
With thanks to Should Be Reading for hosting this really fun weekly event. Here is how to participate:Grab your current read.
Let the book fall open to a random page.
Share with us two (2) “teaser” sentences from that page, somewhere between lines 7 and 12.
You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your “teaser” from … that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
Please avoid spoilers!
This week's spoiler comes from The Murder of King Tut by James Patterson
Tut resisted the urge to draw his sword and hack off Horemheb's arm to put him in his place. The general would be able to do nothing in his defense.
"My wife is woman enough for me. You may have my share of tempestuous whores."
Suddenly, the general's eyes caught sight of something.

Newsletter For 7 November 2009
Hello Bookloving Friends!!
We would like to wish you all a HAPPY NOVEMBER!! This is the month where some of us start curling up with great reads and hot cups of something or other as we try to ignore the cold weather coming on.
Marja is slowly getting back to us. The stitches from her wrist surgery are out, and she is working on getting mobility and range of motion. Just keep her in your thoughts and prayers and in time she will be with us full time!! We love you, M!!!
We have an important issue we would like to direct your way....and it is one we have been trying to get your attention on for a VERY long time....
Many of our members HAVE NOT been on the forum in months, and many of our new members HAVE NOT even come it to say a quick "Hello" or post. We are frustrated by this because of our active member policies.
We try to make this forum as fun as we can for ALL of you, but we cannot do that if you aren't being an active participant in the forum.
We do understand that the holidays, children, jobs and other obstacles keep you busy, and we are not saying we want you to set aside your normal life. We just ask that you drop by the forum at least once a week and post...even to say "Hello" would be nice.
If there are issues that keep you from participation, we ask that you let us know or leave the group. We don't judge you and we understand if sometimes things get hectic...you can feel free to PM Jen, Marja or Karol to let us know what is going on.
This newsletter IS NOT a substitute for coming on to the forum since there is so much that it isn't contained in the newsletter. Below is a list of members that we would like to hear from.
Now, for the rest of the story...
We would like to extend an apology to Lindy and a Be-lated HAPPY BIRTHDAY! We didn't mean to overlook your special day dearest, and we are truly sorry.
Jenster has a birthday on 19 November, and we wish you the best in all of your celebrations.
We would also like to remind all of you that Sharon Lathan's next installment in The Darcy Saga: THE DARCYS AT YEARS END will be released on 1 January 2010, so mark your calendars! http://www.darcysaga.net/
We have also moved Sharon into her own discussion board in our HOT AUTHORS section. This makes it easy for Sharon and us to find her quickly.
The blog has been slow recently because Jen has had to take a short break to deal with things, and Karol hasn't been able to get her recent book reviews out for you.
If you would like to review books and be a part of our blog team, please contact Jen and she will set you up with that. If you already have a blog, let Jen know so we can add you to our blog roll...we would love to share you with the rest of the world.
If you have any ideas for the blog, let us know! We would like to add a bit of flare to our little corner of the universe!!!
http://awaitingdiana.blogspot.com/
Check out Diana Gabaldon's web page...it has been re-vamped and it looks awesome!! She has added her panalba and compuserve links. Makes our lives a lot easier lol
Our Treasure Hunt is still going on, and we have noticed that no one is playing...Karol challenges you to go for it!!!
We are still discussing AN ECHO IN THE BONE, admin has been busy in the last week so we haven't been able to do a lot in, but if YOU have things you would like to bring up for discussions, please go ahead and add them. Please remember to mark all AEITB discussions with **SPOILER ALERT*** as part of the topic line. Some of our UK friends won't see the book until next March and we don't want to ruin it for them.
We have a few doing re-reads on the rest of the OUTLANDER series. Please browse through all of them and start chatting away about them...all topics are up for discussion no matter how old they are.
We have added a link to Diana's Youtube page...it contains her interviews, it is posted in Diana's thread.
We haven't been reading a lot here lately, or if we are, we aren't sharing them. Karol is back to reading J.R. Ward and Sherrilyn Kenyon, who both have new series' out. Come share your recent or old favorite authors with the group...we would love to know what you like to read.
We are in the countdown to the movie NEW MOON. The movie thread is open for discussion and we encourage you to check it out!
Karol has added another video by one of her favorite singers, Warchild in Music Matters. Come check out the song I CAN'T EVEN PAY THIS TAB. It is a country style song, and it is enough to brighten anyone's day, and make you laugh until you cry...lol
If you have a video, recipe, writings, or anything you would like to chat about...please feel free to add it in! We welcome all of it!!
Happy reading,
Karol, Jen and Marja

Newsletter For 24 October, 2009
Hello Bookloving Friends!!
We hope that October is going well for all of you!
Our admin, Marja is temporarily out of commission due to complications from her wrist....please keep her in your thoughts and prayers, and she will be joining us as she can and when her wrist is comfortable enough to type. Hang in there, M! We love you!
Monday is Sharon Lathan's birthday! We all wish her a very happy day!!
We welcome iieavo to our forum! Please stop by and say hello and tell us a bit about yourself!
Our Outlander Treasure Hunt is still going on! Please stop in a play!! The hunt ends at the end of the month!
The blog has been a bit slow with the exception of our Tuesday Teasers. If you would like to join our blog team and add book reviews, please contact Jen and she will help you with that.
Discussions for AN ECHO IN THE BONE are still going on...Jen is doing a wonderful job hosting the discussions. Check them out and add your thoughts.
Please remember that all discussions for ECHO are marked with a SPOILER alert for those who do not wish to read further. If you are coming in and checking out the last 25 posts in the forum at the bottom, please keep this in mind.
Discussions for the rest of the series are still going on if you wish to continue with them. We welcome your thoughts and opinions.
The countdown to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series is set to come out in November. We can and will discuss all of the movies and books. Keep in mind that the movies have their own board so that they do not bog down our movies board. Stephanie's books are in our HOT AUTHORS boards.
Karol has added the movie THE NOTEBOOK to our Movie board. If you have a favorite movie or television show, please feel free to add them to our Movies and Gogglebox boards.
Keep in mind, the Robin Hood discussions are still being chatted about since the third season is in America. If any of our British fans have seen it, please keep from spoilers...we are having fun seeing what will happen next and a few of us have already seen parts of the end of the series. Keep in mind, this subject is a ghost of the boards that are hosted elsewhere.
We would like to remind our members to stop in and say hello on occasion. We have not heard from many since last July and as late as December of last year. We are an active group and would like your help in keeping the forum fun and exciting for everyone. If you cannot be an active part of the group, we ask that you either contact one of the administrators or leave the group on your own. We aren't trying to be a pain, just asking for a bit help from you.
We do appreciate the efforts and contributions of those who are with us on a daily and weekly basis...please continue to brighten our days with your thoughts and opinions.
We will see you in November!!
Happy reading,
~Marja, Karol, and Jen
