The Saucy Wenches Book Club

Lord, he’d said. Let me be enough. That prayer had lodged in my heart like an arrow when I’d heard it and thought he asked for help in doing what had to be done. But that wasn’t what he’d meant at all—and the realization of what he had meant split my heart in two. I took his face between my hands, and wished so much that I had his own gift, the ability to say what lay in my heart, in such a way that he would know. But I hadn’t. “Jamie,” I said at last. “Oh, Jamie. You’re ... everything. Always.”

Most of the Wenches have made time for a few favorite authors this week! (One of us even got to MEET one of them!) Some of us are trying classic novels like The Book Thief and The Color Purple , while some of us are making progress with Wench recommended series. Vampires, witches, hot Scots in kilts, we've been rendezvousing with a whole bunch of characters this week.  Click through to see what we've been reading! And as always, let us know what you've been reading lately, Saucy readers!

One of the first things you learn as a parent of a G/T child is never to fall for the "why" question. It's a trick they know instinctively. You tell them to do something, they ask why, you tell them why, and then they proceed to outline fifteen logical reasons to support their opposing view.

I'll say, "Please stop jumping on the floor." The child will say, "I'm not jumping," and will continue to jump up and down as though on a trampoline. Then I'll say, "I said  quit jumping." And the child will say, "I'm not jumping, I'm bouncing, " proceeding to " bounce " until I use the correct terminology. Raisin' Brains: Surviving my Smart Family by Karen L.J. Isaacson

Review of MacRieve : Immortals After Dark #13 I'm going to start this by saying I really love some of the installments in this series. This is the first series of the genre that has werewolves that I actually love. Bowen was great but Garreth, Garreth completely swept me off my feet *sigh*. I love Kresley Cole for being the only author who made me love two werewolves and a demon (Cade, my love) more than any of the vampires.  That being said, I haven't really enjoyed an IAD book since Malkom and Carrow's. Regin's book made me want to punch a wall, and Lothaire was a good book when I tried (hard) to forget the romance aspect of it. So I was looking forward to reading about another Lykae, especially Uilleam after everything he went through at the Order's facility.  Did MacRieve get me out of my IAD funk? Or was it just another installment that disappointed me.   Click through to see my review.   Spoilers!

"I kept havin' terrible lewd dreams about ye, all the night long," he explained, twitching his breeks into better adjustment. "Every time I rolled over, I’d lie on my cock and wake up. It was awful." I burst out laughing, and he affected to look injured, though I could see reluctant amusement behind it. "Well, you can laugh, Sassenach," he said. "Ye havena got one to trouble ye." ~ Diana Gabaldon, A Breath of Snow and Ashes
