The Island discussion

Hey girls :)
Remember to untick the 'Add to my Update Feed' box, down there on the right...
Otherwise all our spoilers will appear on our home pages. LOL

I can't wait to read this with you both :)
Hope you both have a good day.

Thanks Steph, I've never even noticed that box before:! I've just got home and will try and finish my current book asap tonight then start on this one late tonight:) Can't wait o get to it!

I was only told about it recently too. LOL
I just know I hate it when a status pops up, and before you know it, you've just read a massive spoiler! It sucks. People don't do it on purpose, but this just helps avoid it :)

I am about 20% but will be stopping for a while now. It's really frickin amazing so far. I think you're gonna love it.

Oh good, I am glad:)

Ok, I changed my mind and have parked the last 20% of current book and gone straight to this one:)

I'm 10% in and loving it! Really good story and so easy to read. I thought when I first started it that Shaw was the one who was going to get taken:!

Ok, stopped for now at 20%, which seems a really good place to take a breather:) Will wait for you to catch up Giorgia, unless your their already!

Hi ladies, just read to 5% at lunch. I'm liking it so far. Mmmmmm tropical island...i cannot wait for things to heat up ;)

No need to wait for me love! I'll catch up tonight.

Hey there you are! They heat up big time at 20%, that's where I just paused:) (damn I didn't realise I had to click off that 'Add to my Update Feed' everytime!)

Did I check that this is a HEA/HFN??? Does anyone know?

No idea, but everybody seems to like the story...
I guess it doesn't matter...unless it's a repeat ending of Forbidden, then i would care, that would be too much for me:)

No, I need a HEA/HFN!!! I like my dark reads but hate crap endings, I'm a big softy really:)

Emma, i always knew you were a softy!
Love you!

Haha! Really....damn, I should drop the tough act then:D

I love the book, but at 30% I would kinda like a bit of SEX!

No notifications for this thread. Gr really pisses me off sometimes :(

I think this has an HEA, but I'm not 100% sure.
I love the writing here... The author doesn't ramble on for pages about one little thing, but I feel like I can see everything, it's amazing.

Haha, Giorgia. The Forbidden ending was a little rought wasn't it! I remember having to re-read those few sentences over and over again. Sure that I must have read it wrong... but I hadn't :( Amazing book.

Where about's are you both now? I have to go to bed soon, but I am so desperate to carry on reading. It just get's better and better.

I know what you mean, Em. But don't worry, it comes later :)
What do you think of Shaw?

I don't know what I had expected of him really, but I keep hoping he's just gonna be so lovely to Lee... and it doesn't happen. Like Lee said, Shaw doesn'y hurt him, but he doesn't help him either. It's so sad :(

I almost cried at the part where Lee says what happened to the team he was with when he was captured. so hard to read :(

Yeah I'm not getting any notifications for this either! I'm at 30% and that's me done until tomorrow night now:)

I like shaw and love the way he's trying to not show his kindness! God I hope this is a HEA!!!

What % are you now?

I stopped at 48% earlier today. I won't be able to pick it back up until tomorrow afternoon, which sucks :( But I have a Toddler group to run in the morning LOL
So I'm now heading off to bed :)

Me too. I think I'll die if it isn't. Have you read the part about his team? God it was horrible. I think it was about 30% he told the story :)

Girls I'm not sure if you are interested but I've just signed up to a challenge! My first one and there are some really great categories in there!

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_... Its the Pushing Boundries one run by my friend Jen! Luckily I rolled the dice and managed to pick The Island as my book as it came under 'abuse'! Only started it tonight:) (the challenge, that is!) Jen said anyone is free to dive in although I understand if you don't want to commit! I just liked the categories.

Will have a look in the morning. Night girls :)

Ok, I like the taboo, and daddy/boy categories:) What a perv I am!

I'm at 15% right now. The story seems to move a bit slow...wait maybe it's just me, it's 10 pm and I cannot keep my eyes open.
Focus
I really want to know more! I don't really get a feeling for Shaw yet, I don't know if I like him yet, but it was so sad to read from 'the boy' POV (don't know his name yet, Lee perhaps?)
I promised I will try to read faster tomorrow :(
Good Night Lov....Zzzzzzzzzz

Haha. Then I'm a perv with ya, Em. LOL. I love pushing my boundaries, seeing how far I can push until I think, 'oh hell no, that's not for me!'.
BUT, it hasn't happened yet :)

It does move a little slow at first, Gioria. But don't worry it picks up... Don't worry, there's no hurry hun.
I'm still like that with Shaw too. I think I really like him, then soemthing happens and I question him again :(
What do you both think of Lee?

I am at about 50%, it's crazy. LOL

Hope you're both having a good day :)

That sounds like fun! Taboo....yes! Daddy/boy...mmm, not sure, it kind of depends what they mean....Anyway...

I'm so jealous you guys are so far into the book. I will catch up today :)

Hey I was wondering ladies, are you going to UK GLBTQ Fiction Meeting?

Oh crap. I forgot to look. LOL. Will go now :)

I have no idea what that is, so I would say... no? LOL
should I be :)

Where about's are you both?

I'm at 30 %, now i would be lying if i said i was enjoying this. it's sad, sick, and not in a good way...i'm feeling a bit depressed, i just don't see a way out for Lee. Now there better be a HEA!!!

Hi girls! I've just got home from a long day! Am going to do my GR catch-ups quickly and then start reading. I'm still at 30% same as last night!

Giorgia - Daddy/Boy is not like it sounds. Its a Dom/Sum thing. They are both adults and that's just one of the categories:)

UK GLBTQ Fiction Meeting? - A couple of people have mentioned that and its in Manchester I think. Which is hundreds of miles away from me. I'm in Devon, right at the other end of the country. A tiny bit of me is thinking about it though:)

It's worth it in the end, Giorgia. Promise!
Plus it's not that long a book, you can make it hun :)

I actually finished it earlier. These short books always seem to go so fast for me. Plus, I don't have to spend 10 hours of my day at work. That's a hell of a long day, Em. I hope you're gonna relax this evening :)

My cousin goes to Uni in Manchester... what actually is it, the meeting? I'm intrigued :)

Not really sure what it is really, just a big event where loads of authors attend I think:! I need to check really. Will have a look at the weekend when I have more time:)

Wow. Sounds great. Thanks hun.

Welcome lovely, remind me to check it out at the weekend:!

Will do :)

Have a good evening reading :)

Ok, I'm at 35% and annoyed that Shaw has just raked his fingers over Lee's back and fell asleep while waiting for Lee to return from being tortured!!!!! WTF:( Not happy with Shaw right now!

Omg, that part was really awful :(

No, we don't like Shaw then!

Not at the moment no!

I'm at 40% now and things have started to get darker for Lee! I'm trying to think of ways in which Shaw could get him off the Island! Kill Vornis, that's the answer!!!

Haha. My lips are sealed. LOL
I know, poor Lee :(

You'll get your HEA. ;)

Thanks for spreading the word about the challenge.

Ok, now I'm hoping that one of the new guys on the island will help Lee!

I love you guessing, Em. You're so close now... percemtage wise.
Mwahahha, that's my evil laughter. LOL

Bloody Hell!!! OMG! Loving the cattle prod and Usayd:))) Yippee!

Action at last!

Ahahaha, I have been thinking the same Em! I have been plotting way to kill Vornis, murder, but then there are all the guards, maybe he could drown, or a tsunami, strike by lighting...anything dammit!

That is just mean Steph! ;)

I stopped at a really good place last night. Just after a very surprising 'twist'!

Yay. You got to the crazy part, Em.

Sorry, Giorgia. LOL

Oooh, which part? Please tell :)

LOVE that crazy part Steph! If I'd been there and had a cattle prod I know I would have joined in:)

Starting reading again in a bit!

I'm 72% will start reading again.
I love Lee, I'm still not sure about Shaw, I know why he did certain things but still, it's creepy how he fit in so perfectly :(

I decided on the way to work this morning that I love them both now:) I like Lee as he's so trusting/sweet/vulnerable and I like Shaw because he knows he has faults and keeps on trying to push Lee away, knowing its probably wrong.
