From the last thread, meli5:

From the last thread, from me:

I finished Someone to Watch Over Me! It was a very good book! When everyone is done, there's a little quiz (5 questions at the most), and then we can discuss it. How does everyone think of that?
Is everyone ready, when done discussing Someone to Watch Over Me, to read another book? Any recommendations? Did you like how I use the Randomizer, or would you rather do something like the Board's Book Club - voting?

Thanks for the new thread Tina! Can I please be added to the fans list? I just realized I'm not on it.

I'll be ready to read another book when we're done discussing Someone to Watch Over Me. And I kind of like the idea of voting for the next book.

I think voting this next round sounds good and we can see how that goes If it takes a very long time or we don't have a lot of people voting, then maybe we can go back to the randomizer?

So how many people have read Someone to Watch Over Me and are we ready to start discussing?

Thanks for adding me Tina!

I'm pretty much ready to start discussing. I just have a few more chapters to read.

Ooh, TFTNT and the OP looks fantastic.

I have not been able to find 'Someone to Watch Over Me'. I'm so disappointed because I like Lisa Kleypas and wanted to join in the talk.

Scarlett: Aw, I'm sorry! Maybe you'll be able to join in the next one? And thank you for the compliments on the OP.

Laura: That's great!

Who is all discussing Someone to Watch Over Me?

I think it will be Gab, Laura, and I? Did I forget someone? Please let me know if I did.

I'm currently reading Sarah MacLean's Nine Rules to Break When Romancing a Rake. I'm loving it.

Quote:
A lady does not smoke cheroot.

She does not ride astride.

She does not fence or attend duels.

She does not fire a pistol, and she never gambles at a gentlemen's club.

Lady Calpurnia Hartwell has always followed the rules, rules that have left her unmarried—and more than a little unsatisfied. And so she's vowed to break the rules and live the life of pleasure she's been missing. But to dance every dance, to steal a midnight kiss—to do those things, Callie will need a willing partner. Someone who knows everything about rule-breaking. Someone like Gabriel St. John, the Marquess of Ralston—charming and devastatingly handsome, his wicked reputation matched only by his sinful smile.

If she's not careful, she'll break the most important rule of all—the one that says that pleasure-seekers should never fall hopelessly, desperately in love . . .

Okay, so to get discussion started a bit, I have to ask if anyone suspected that there were two sisters?

Laura: It is a great book. I'm happy to hear you'll join us.

Gab: I knew something fishy was going on, just from reading the back cover, but I still did not suspect that they were twin sisters. I love how Vivien kept a picture that Victoria painted, and when Victoria picking it up (not regain her memory yet), knew that Devane sound familiar to her... it was her own last name!

Yeah, I love that Vivien had that picture out too - it made her a bit more likeable, although her character really wasn't

I thought about the possibility of twin sisters for about half a second, but I didn't know how no one would know about it, so I dismissed it.

I really liked the struggle we got with Grant and his desire to really hate Victoria (really Vivien) but at the same time liking the woman he was getting to know. And I liked the question of what would happen if Victoria regained her memory (when we didn't know she was a twin) and kind of went back to her old self?

I totally agree. I was quite shock to find out it was a Runner to try and kill "Vivien"/Victoria. I jumped for joy when Grant was able to find her in time at the end.

I didn't really figure they were sisters until I was about halfway through. I love that they did that because it made it more possible for her (Victoria) to get together with Grant.

I was shocked that it was a Runner and that he was a hired hitman too. I didn't see it coming. And I was biting my nails waiting to read that Grant would rescue Victoria!
