Gabri - somehow or other I managed to insert my comment into yours. I was typing it and then it disappeared. Then it turned up inside your comment. Strange things happen with me and computers! My apologies. Nancy

Hi Nancy

No need to apologize whatsoever!!

It happens to me too every now and then.

 

Good afternoon ladies

It's homework tiime here in Italy, so I can spend some time with you.

 

In my umph rereading of Bared, I'm at the Vidal's party and some things strike me as odd.:

 

1) Eva's stamement that Ireland is a 'very lovely brunette' has me thinking about the brunette issue again. What if Gideon is subconsciously linking the brunettes he only dates socially with Ireland (and they will become good friends of his, like Magdalene), while those he spends time with 'actively f***ing' are indeed linked with his mother, which makes them revenge f**ks on Lizzie?

 

2)Lizzie's cougar thing with Cary is so gross. What kind of mother would say those things to a total stranger?

 

3) Christopher Vidal Sr., who's seriously underdressd for the occasion and had rather Eva called him Chris., makesme think ofjust like a teen would be. No wonder Gideon has taken over the family business!!!

 

Gotta go now. Chat later. Ciao!

I lost track of how many times I have read entire book or certain parts, almost becoming embarrassing, except to maybe all you guys

Hi Barb

we are all there with you!!!!

SD just posted this on FB and twitter and everywhere lol it's video from the Day after Dark NYC event!

http://t.co/69xbSnl4nD

Thank you so much for sharing.

I'd really have liked to be there!!

I was thinking that in every book Gideon gets into some kind of physical altercation with someone:

           BTY-he punches Ian

           RIY-beats the snot out of Brett (not to mention Nathan!)

           EWY-skirmish with Giroux

So keeping the pattern going I'll predict he has a go at Dr. Terry.

I'd really like he had a go at Anne Lucas!  I know the old saying goes 'You mustn't beat a woman up, not even with a flower', but in Anne's case I'd use some thistles!!!!

OMG, knee trembling photo :-

 

Oh my!!! I can't look at him....and I've got something else that's trembling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What really seems strange to me is how so many people were angered by the extra books being planned. I love getting deeper into the different people and seeing the development of their characters and the webs of connection. To me one of the hallmarks of the best novels and movies, is they have engaging secondary characters and back stories. And I look forward to learning their stories and I want to see good things happening in their lives. Think of all the vivid "extras" SD has created: Mark, Steve, Shawna, Martin, Angus, Clancy , Megumi, Cary, Trey, Victor, Ireland, and some of the more problematic like, Monica, Elizabeth, Brett, Magdalena, and of course the bad guys we dislike so intensely. Even Daniel at the gym has a lively spark to him.

What's the big rush?

Good evening ladies and Hi Nrock

I agree with you 100%!!!

I used to be one of those readers who only read the words because I had to look up one in every five words....  what a huge difference the Crossfire Novels have made!!!! These characters, all of them, are so close to my heart I can't go a day without them. and they have been there from the first 10 lines of Bared. I'm too emotionally involved now not to hope for another ten books. I want, I need Gideon and Eva to be happy and safe.

I'm counting the days to the CBY release like children do at Christmas time!!!

Good night my ladies

sweet dreams.

Chat tomorrow.

To Sharonm and Kristen

my most heartfelt THANK YOU for sharing your info with us.  

Re- re- re- rereading the Crossfire Books is more and more of an experience!!!!

Hi Gabri.  I am so glad you enjoyed Superman, I knew you would and Henry is gorgeous in it.

 

I have just sent you a friend request on FB, Sheens xx

Thank you so much!!

I've just confirmed you.

Henry did a h e l l of a job!! I really loved it, and not for the obvious reasons     only!!

Hi Gabri, 

I am sorry I missed that.  Could you tell me where in the book Gideon said that he and ChristopherJr. had joint counseling please?  It would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance. 

It's not clearly stated. I got the impression they were from Gideon's own words...... I'm going through the books again, but it will take me some time to find the right passage. I'll let you know as soon as I find it.

Hi Gabri could you give me your recipe for this?

Hi sscrph

this is my grandmother's recipe, so if it doesn't turn out well, we can always blame it on her!!!!

 

1 egg per person - 1 spoon of sugar per egg - 1 coffe cup (the smallest you've got) every 2 eggs of marsala wine - double pots for 'bain marie' cooking.

Separate yolks from whites.Put the yolks in a pot and add sugar to them, then whip them until you have a soft sponge. Beat the whites untill they are stiff. Slowly add the whites to the yolks, and pour the marsala wine. Now put everything on the gas stove and let it cook 'bain marie' for 10 or so minutes. Stir the zabaione every now and then. Et voilà!!!

Pour the zabaione into cups or glasses and sprinkle a little cocoa powder on it.

Watch out!! it's usually white-hot for longer that you'd think it's possible!! That's why we usually have it during Christmas time, to keep our hands warm while watching children play with snow.

I also just went and saw the movie this afternoon, but I was able to hear his voice.  He is so Gideon!!!  

 

I send you a FB friend request also from Barbara  

Thank you, I added you as well!!

Gideon and Chris did have joint counselling at some point, but I'm sure Hugh devised ways and means to have more and more time alone with Gideon, which only made sense as Gideon was the much more troubled sibling (Chris was only imitating his older step-brother, for he had figured out Gideon's behaviour got everybody's attention).My guess is that Hugh swore everybody he would only Gideon ..... and he ended up being the adult who should have taken care of Gideon's emotional health because his supervisor was so focused on Lizzie and her own issues that she didn't have time for another little patient and therefore she allowed Hugh

she allowed Hugh to do what he wanted.

When Gideon was relating his abuse to Eva, at the end of Reflected, he said he was left alone with him(Hugh) more and more. Where was Chris? I thought they were having treatment together, while the shrink saw Lizzy. Why was Gideon having therapy without an adult being present? Is it normal ?

Hello Gabri.

So glad you enjoyed it. I saw it in 3D. When he held his hand out. I wanted to touch it! I wonder how many takes it took for the kissing scene?!!! Lol

I shall add you on FB now. Keep a look out.

Thank you!!!! I confirmed you. Is that all I'm expected to do?

Had I been AmyLois the takes would have always been less than I would have hoped for!!!

You're right, we should keep in contact once the forum slows down! 

Gabri Canova on fb. You're welcome!

Hello Gabri.

How I'd the date go? Was Henry a gentleman?

I'd say he is a dream come true!!

Good afternoon ladies

It would be good to keep in touch. You can add me on FB my name is Julie Redpath. My picture is of a westie dog.

Gabri. Let me know your full name I will find you. like Gideon!

Hi Julie

I've just back in after my date with Superman, and you should see my face!!!! You would be proud of me!!!!I  I really loved the movie, the cast, the score, and of course Henry. All these biceps and abs are really something, but his eyes... his eyes are from another world indeed!! I even found myself crying when he's holding Lois in his arms and they kiss ..... I could almost feel his intense look on her.... I bet Amy Adams must have had a h e l l of a time!!!!.  

One thing did bother me, my Henry was dubbed and I missed his wonderfully sinful voice. I'm going to buy the DVD as soon as it's released!!!

 

You'll find me on fb as Gabri Canova. My avatar is the same, for the time being (Black roses)

 

What a Saturday!!!! I can die a happy death now.

My late afternnon with Henry-Clark is fast approaching and I need to doll myself up a little...

catch up later!!!!!!!!

I'm off to my late afternoon with Henry-Clark

I'm thrilled to death!!!!! If I'll survive him   I'll catch up later.

ciao!

Btw I just made this dessert the other way and it is very easy to make? Do you make this Gabri??

Yes,I do!!!  I usually make it during Christmas time, and put some cocoa powder on it.

Sorry for the double postings. Didn't mean to.
