The Next Best Book Club discussion

GEmma! You are hysterical.

Fiona - it's cream cheese, creamed cheese is kind of creeping me out some.

hmm...

cookies? cream cheese?
cookies? cream cheese?

I can't decide!!

Cream cheese ICING on cookies.

And chocolate chips.

I love cream cheese icing!

But I feel loyalty to Fi tugging....

I can feel my hips getting wider just reading this thread.

You had me at cream cheese icing.

Kandice,

*big emu eyes*

AND cake.

Any type of cake that you want.

I will also buy WHATEVER books you want me to buy with my 100 dollar gift card.

Actually, I'll buy YOU books with my giftcard.

You goofy girls!!!! I already promised to buy AGATB, and my children are already waiting to read Howls out loud, so I can't accept anymore bribes. Even if they don't get chosen, I have committed:)

And when I become a world famous author I'll dedicate my first 5 bo..."

That first paragraph is pretty hard to resist.

But the emu eyes....the emu eyes! Can anyone resist the emu eyes????

I especially liked "...and everything else and money" what a great way to end that line.

LAURA!

*huggles*

WAIT:

I'VE ALREADY DEDICATED MY BOOK TO ALL OF MY GOODREADS FRIENDS.

HAH FI, HAH.

I feel a bit left out here... since I cannot read either bribe-worthy book. *sniffle*

You've already read them?

Well, you still can VOTE for them!

I like that word "huggles"

That's better than amaztastic!

I plan on reading both this month :-) I already have AGATB...and I was going to put Howl's on request at the library for interlibrary loan...buuuut I need to pay off a fine first.

Oh and the cream cheese icing with oreos.

AND THE COOKIES WON'T MAKE YOU FAT.

They're magical faerie cookies.

:D Laura.

Cept I didn't create the word huggles. But it is still an awesome word.

*continues to huggle Laura*

Allison, you get a hug for already having AGATB!

*hugs Allison*

Becky, I'll bribe you. Lets see... magical, no fat faery peanut butter cookies to... SWITCH TO TEAM ERIC!!! (for 1 day)

Well, yes, I have already read AGATB, but I wanna be able to read along with the group too...

*grumble*

Stinkin' book ban...

Well, okay.

You can vote for Kandice's book if you want.

You have my permission. ;)

*GASP!* Umm... ooh... Peanut butter... sideburns...

Ohhhh! you vile temptress!!

haha. I'm a book whore, no bribes needed. ;-)

Okay...

If you vote for A Great and Terrible Beauty, you get to be A CHARACTER IN MY BOOK.

And then I WILL PUBLISH.

PROMISE. I WILL TRY.

...okay, Fiona took it there.

Too bad Jamie isn't yours to give ;-)

DAMN! If you vote for A Great and Terrible Beauty I will:

Send you a lifetime supply of oreo cookies with cream cheese icing THAT DON'T MAKE YOU FAT
You get to be a character in my book, and I've ALREADY dedicated it to you.
I'll finish all of your errands
Read anything you want me to
Buy any books you want me to read
Send you books
Give you the magicial faerie powers Lynnie has
I'll create a WORD in your honor

I'm not nominating a book. I have enough I am supposed to read, and don't want to end up with a TBR pile like some peoples... no names, mind you. (you know who you are) :)I will, however read whatever wins if I like it. In addition to AGATB and Howls (out loud).

Make sure the cream cheese icing comes with him ;-)

No, I'll top that.

I'll give you all the money in BOOKSTORE GIFTCARDS.

Allison, I'M offering the cream cheese icing, FI is offering the Jamie.

One or the other.

but...but...I want both...

And money! That's the important part - And MOney !!!

You know what's funny? Someone's gonna log on tomorrow morning and go "Wow, 268 new posts in the nomination thread! Woo hoo, guess I'll load up my TBR" and then see the whole bribery convo.

I am so sorry (G)Emma Jamie would be very hard to beat. They don't wear anything under those kilts;)

Damnnn, Fi, Kandice.

But...the icing was my idea first. :(

I offer Kartik, but since most of you haven't read the series, THAT DOESN'T MATTER DOES IT?

Although Kartik is pretty damn sexy.

REMEMBER:

I GIVE YOU MAGICIAL FAERIE POWERS.

Umm...It may be Lori who sees 287 posts and we all get a written, verbal lashing, or however you would phrase it. This must be what my kids feel like it when they are doing what I have said not to!!!!

Yes, that's true.

That is exactly why I created a new poll today.

Go and see what it is.

Hahha, just kidding, I DO think Lori is the best mod in all the land!

Me too! She is incredibly protective. A wonderful "mama bear". *warm fuzzies*

Yes, Lori is AMAZTASTIC.

*gives Lori emu eyes for when she finds out about our bribing*

Hmm, what else would you guys like me to give you?

OOO! I HAVE ONE.

I WILL PROMOTE YOUR FAVORITE BOOK AS MUCH AS I PROMOTE A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY.

And then EVERYONE will read it.

Fiona wrote: "Yeah, we love Lori for putting up with us. ;)"

AGREED!

We're a dysfunctional family. ;)

That's some serious stuff right there emu.

Mhmmm.

Because you all KNOW how much I promote TGDT.

It's exactly the reason WHY I'm bribing you right now.

Because I love the series so much.

So, I will promote FOR you.

Remember that night you changed your name and you said something like "God, I sound like one of those horrible spammers"

LOL

But I DID read AGATB....

I think this is avatar unfairness. You and Fiona have those big eyes you can bat. I have...6 legs. Not endearing. What am I supposed to do to shmooze?

Exactly, and I only have petals to wave at you with.

And pollen to make you sneeze.

Hahahaa, TRUE! I sound even more like one of them right now.

Well...

SO DOES FI.
;P

Kandice, change it.

But you both have VERY charming personalities. ;D

Ahem, vote for AGATB, rememmber?


*huggles Kandice and Laura*

Good luck Fi!

*huggles*

Oh Fi, UNFAIR PLAY. UNFAIR.

Well, you have an interview tomorrow.

Fi, we will miss you!

And I will definitely read Howl's in March, no matter if you win or not. ;)

:D!!!!

WOOT.

Good luck Fiona! Let us know how it goes !!

YES, AGREED.

NOMINATE EVERYONE.
