It’s Lime Time

limecello.jpgI figure it’s about time for this… so here goes. Limecello would like to say she’s a small girl with big attitude, but that wouldn’t really be true.She’s exceedingly indecisive and has no spine. Strangely enough, she’s opinionated. But dislikes conflict. And dislikes drama even more.

She’s something of a food snob, and likes to rant about book and non book type things. [She's a equal opportunity ranter.]

99.99% of her reading is in the romance genre, and the .01 percent is comprised of YA and Classics. After only reading classics, she burnt herself out on Thomas Hardy and was depressed for a while. Luckily, romance saved her. She decided to read romance in college because she wanted something light and fun. Due to her love of classics, she read solely historicals, and had to branch out when she exhausted the historical romance collection at her local library. She’s glad she did. At any given moment, Limecello is generally reading 4-6 books at the same time. She’s also not quite sure why she’s writing in the third person.

She cares about world events, and is for the One Campaign, (RED), Save Darfur, and Free Rice. She likes sparkly things just as much as books, and will be happy to answer questions you may have. (But why would you?) ;-)

    Lime – is it true that limecello is made from limes and cellos?

    LOL! I don’t know why I didn’t expect a question like that! Nope, Gwen, sorry. Limecello is made from limes, simple syrup, and vodka!

    p.s. – I love the subject of this! Tres cute!
    … oh man and that graphic O_o

    Hi Christine!

    Thanks :) I’m a bit -eh, who am I kidding, late on everything- but I’ve already been reviewing – you can read them here: http://goodbadandunread.com/tag/limecello/ :D

    Okay, so I should have said, “I look forward to reading MORE of your contributions and thanks for FINALLY introducing yourself!” ;) Better? lol

    I have actually read a few of your reviews here already. :) I reviewed What Happens in Vegas around the same time you did (we were on total opposite ends of the spectrum on one of the stories ;) ).

    I saw your reviews for Kresley Cole’s IAD books. Did you not read Wicked Deeds on a Winter’s Night? I loved that one. I need to read the latest two releases, which I have sitting near the top of my TBR pile and have been getting fantastic reviews.

    Not Thomas Hardy! Anyone would burn themselves out on him.

  7. limecello says:

    LOL Christine – didn’t mean to be pushy, just pointing it out. For WDoaWN, I read it, and I read the IAD books in order! I just have no contol over scheduling :) Every day is like a surprise ;) . I found your Vegas review.[And I've heard a lot of variance on opinions. Some I've seen are pretty close to mine - ours were similar other than on JLC's novella.]

    Liviania – I KNOW. Not only did I just read one, I think I read 4-5 in a row. Gaaaah. [I remember laying there on the bathroom floor, just being sad, after reading Jude the Obscure. I think that was the one that put me over the edge.]

    Hi, Limecello!

    I don’t have a question – just wanted to say hi. :)

    Hi Limecello,
    Thomas Hardy depressed me, too. Don’t get me started on Tess of the d’Urbervilles.

  10. limecello says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 4:07 pm

    Hi Wendy :D – WHY NOT? [lol I can't find a "mad face.] ;)

    Jane – I know! But Tess is one of his happier books! [I think Far from the Madding Crowd might be happiest... followed by Tess.] Scary, isn’t it? I thought about buying the movie, and read all these reviews [go figure on amazon] where people complained about how dark the movie was. Obviously… they had no idea it was a book.]

  11. Wendy says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 4:35 pm

    Lol! I just can’t think of one – my brain’s fried!

    What are you reading right now?

  12. limecello says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 5:05 pm

    LOL You didn’t have to ask me a q, Wendy – I was just messing with you! But right now, I’m reading Seduction 101. :’( And it’s my fault too. I actually fled the apartment at chapter three to go play in traffic and buy over priced groceries!

  13. Liviania says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 5:23 pm

    Oh Tess. My favorite part of that novel is the Victorian abstract sex. I go crazy for that stuff.

  14. limecello says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 5:45 pm

    LOL LOL LOL Liviania, where Angle is obsessed with her tongue/mouth, and she isn’t even doing anything? [Wow - and think, I haven't properly read Tess in at least 6 years!] … or the scene where she’s out overnight… ah, Tess. Poor girl. Reminds me of A Long Fatal Love Chase – a book I need to get.

    May 21st, 2008 at 6:22 pm

    Why, cuz I twisty face 6 yr old w/ tiger of imaginations??
    [oh and the books arrived]

  17. limecello says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 6:53 pm

    Wow. And that’s supposed to be Angel not Angle. Limecello needs a nap.

  18. Christine says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 10:42 pm

    LOL you weren’t pushy. I was just playing with you right back. :)

    I see your WDoaWN review was posted since I left that earlier comment. Ha! Sneaky Sybil! I loved that book. I still need to read the latest two releases…. both are in my TBR pile… just picked up Dark Desire’s After Dark last night. W0oT!

  19. limecello says:

    May 21st, 2008 at 11:46 pm

    Christine, hehe good to know.
    As to DDAD – soooooo jealous! I’m starting to feel like everyone has it but me! :P Soon though, soon… ;)

    I own a copy of A Long Fatal Love Chase! I’ve been meaning to read it for a long time. *shrugs* I’ll mail it to you if you want.

  21. Jane says:

    May 22nd, 2008 at 12:57 am

    I hated the movie, too. Don’t bother, it sucked. Nastassja Kinski played Tess and Alec was a rat bastard.

  22. limecello says:

    May 22nd, 2008 at 2:04 am

    There are at least two movies out there. Maybe at some point in my life I won’t be able to stop myself [I seem to have this knack for watching "wtf why am I watching this?" movies]. But it won’t be today :) Thanks for saving me from myself, Jane ;)

    Liviania -and do I that would be fabulous! [Unless it's verboten.] I’m still learning duckie rules.

  23. Liviania says:

    May 22nd, 2008 at 12:25 pm

    Cool. Just send me a mailing addy at inbedwithbooks AT yahoo DOT com. I’ll be able to mail it Friday.

    Also, since you’re having trouble finding Dark Desires, I can buy an extra copy for you and send that too.

    I’ve been wondering what limecello meant. I thought it had to do with green jello. :)

  25. Sybil says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 9:57 am

    I think her trouble is finding it for free.

  26. Gwen says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 11:53 am

    Finding limecello for free? I should hope she’s not giving it away for free! At least make them buy you dinner!

    ;-)

  27. limecello says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 1:28 pm

    Devon – I get the jello thing a lot – interesting because I never thought of it [well, until everyone brought it up - how limecello always makes them think of food].

  28. Sybil says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 1:36 pm

    You shouldn’t laugh I am about to give her your books to review… she returns calls. :P

  29. limecello says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 1:55 pm

    Sybil, I never know who you’re talking to… and still feel like I need a translator :X

  30. Gwen says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm

    HA! Take that Syb-ster!

    Lime – she’s taking a jab at me. I’ll let my voicemail sit unheard for days. Don’t even ask me about email. Yikes.

  31. Sybil says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 3:56 pm

    And the books she has had for 2 months to send out… good thing I like her. Oh and I am not waiting on the books. So really you guys should be the annoyed ones.

    tra la la

  32. Liviania says:

    May 23rd, 2008 at 4:13 pm

    I do the same thing with my voicemail. I check it about twice a month. It annoys my family. I believe they should know just to call until I pick up.
