I know I know... waaaay too much delay

I'm working on it, I just got distracted by the arrival of teh new Merry Gentry book.

Wretched thing's lost me some money to the b/f though:

B/f: Reading porn again?
Me: It's NOT porn.
B/f: Yeah right, whatever. We know it's porn.
Me: It is not porn. It is a novel that just happens to have sex in it.
B/f: Yeah? Bet you a fiver someone gets naked before any plot comes along. In fact, I bet you another fiver that there's sex of some kind in the first 10 pages before any plot comes along. AND I bet another fiver that Merry gets a new sex partner before the end of the book.

Wretched book. I just lost £15. But it's not porn.

you tried to argue that Merry Gentry isn't porn??? You bet *money* that it isn't porn??!? Are you feeling ok? ;p

I know I know! It's the only book in the world where the elves are colour-coded so you can tell them apart! Oh, you can also tell by looking for their 'signiture mental/emotional problem'.

I actually like the books... honest... there IS plot there... alriught you have to look between the heaving breasts and naked faerie boys to find it, but it is there.

colour coded elves - you know that's the way to go ;) [I like them too, I just don;t quible about the porn part, and I won;t pay for them in hardback]

I have them on hardback because I got the original on hardback (being a fan of Anita Blake) then wanted to keep the set similar.
