Wow, so old already!

I found mine not too long ago! That was one of my favorites when I was a kid

Agreed!

With this book, every story was really well written. Not every story was super strong on the sex but they were all such great stories that they just pulled you in and kept you reading.

I'm a sucker for cute things

I can't seem to locate my copy of the book right now, but I also really liked "Lust as Old as Us". It was kind of sad and melancholic, but I really did enjoy ... more
I always liked gargoyles on old buildings, protectors, magestic.

I don't mind if a story isn't heavy on sex if it's well-written. I prefer good writing with less sex, than lots of sex, but bad writing.

Hmm, there's no story in the book about a Frog Prince. Maybe there'll be one in Kristina's next fantasy anthology, Lustfully Ever After.

I've found most of the books I've gotten from here to be like that; where I may not get all hot and bothered by every story, but for the most party I enjoy reading all of them anyway. There were a few books I don't overly care for, but so far I've like a vast majority of them.

Ditto, good writing trumps sex. I can always watch porn if I just want sex. A good story is a must!

I've always wanted one of those concrete gargoyles for my garden. And I must admit that I liked that Gargoyles cartoon that came out a number of years ago. I like the idea of big strong protective beings.

Makes me think of the lions at the entrance of the Art Museum in Chicago. I always thought those were so cool! Not to mention, I love that museum!

Anything that has to do with mythology, etc, I love. My first tatoo was a dragon on my shoulder.

LOL! Sorry mental picture of you kissing a frog and he doesn't become a prince so you squash him.

Or maybe someone will update it and make a spider prince or a snake prince. I mean the original idea was that frogs were gross and no one in their right mind would kiss one. But now, lots of people think frogs are sort of cute. So the prince needs to be something that people nowadays think is creepy and gross. Maybe a scorpion prince? A cockroach prince?

I used to have some neat photos I took of those lions. Shame I can't find a lot of those photos I took in high school.

Oh man, that would be so much worse. A spider or a cockroach prince would stay forever a spider or cockroach if I was the one who had to kiss him. shudder

sorry I'm late, the little man had to see the dr and his reward for getting shots was going to the library.

As an editor, I get turned on more by exquisite writing than by explicit sex--but when the two are combined, wow!

(On the other hand, the writing style shouldn't distract from immersion in the sex.)

Whenever I rescue a frog from a water bowl or move them out of the way when I'm gardening I always give them an air kiss. I'm not quite brave enough to actually kiss the frog with my lips.

Hi Libraries are excellent, and a totally fitting reason to be late for the book club meeting

They may be in my closet, at least I think a lot of the ones I still have are anyway. I'll find everything when I move and go through all my stuff lol.

I will move them to a safe place, as well as catterpillars and things like that. C says I'm silly but that he loves me for it.
