Journal Entry 1 by Bunnybee from Amarillo, Texas USA on Monday, August 09, 2004

From the dust jacket:
Nora Buckley's worst nightmare has just come true. After years of being a devoted, dutiful housewife, she's found out her husband is leaving her for a younger woman. Her only comfort comes from her friends- the women of Ansley Court, who meet every Monday morning for coffee and gossip. Seeing Nora's desperation, her friends decide it's time to let her in on their delicious and dirty little secret. It's called The Channel... and it lets every woman unleash passions beyond her wildest dreams. Suddenly Nora is lving out her most intimate and sensuous fantasies- and before long, she realizes she CAN have everything she ever wanted...

Sounded like an interesting break from mystery thrillers, so I bought it just to read and release. Residing on Mt. TBR. 

Journal Entry 2 by Bunnybee from Amarillo, Texas USA on Monday, October 04, 2004

An okay book... very explicit in sexual content here and there, and it was interesting how the author made the ending work out. Definitely a fantasy book- not something that can happen in real life! Hmmmm... but "The Channel" does sound like it could be fun though. ;-)

VERY fast and easy read.

Once the book gets on its way, you can still sign up, but you will be added to the end as a second list, and must be able to ship anywhere. Thanks!

I love the bookmark it is soooo cute I'm going to keep it, but I will replace it with another one which unfortunatly won't be as nice. 

Journal Entry 6 by star69 from Sittingbourne, Kent United Kingdom on Saturday, November 27, 2004

OH MY GOD!!! This was a deliciously wicked book. I loved every second of it.
I have tried phoning my cable company to ask for "The Channel" but they don't seem to know what I am talking about.

Yayyy, it arrived! :-) I'm planning to read it whenever I have finished the ring I'm reading right now. 

Journal Entry 9 by Flicki from Emden, Niedersachsen Germany on Saturday, January 15, 2005

If it weren't for the sex in there, the book would not be worth reading at all. But WITH the explicit content... well... ;-) Contact me if anybody find's out about The Channel, okay? ;-)

I'll try to contact the next person in line meanwhile!

Journal Entry 12 by joasik from Amsterdam, Noord-Holland Netherlands on Friday, February 04, 2005

I loved this book! It's soooo full of sex :) and the idea of the book is original. Though I think the ending was a bit to "smooth" and it didn't really fit IMO. However, I hope someday someone will create something like the Channel and we'll all have our own private pleasures fulfilled :)

Journal Entry 20 by SandDanz from New Albany, Indiana USA on Friday, August 12, 2005

Just an update to say that I'm finally getting ready to start this book. My apologies for taking a month to get to it, but I got slammed with tons of rings all at the same time. I've finally gotten it more under control now with 2 left at home and 1 on the way (at least I hope that's all!!!)

Will post again once I finish! :) 

Journal Entry 21 by SandDanz from New Albany, Indiana USA on Monday, August 29, 2005

Wowsers!!! Thanks for making sure I stayed on this ring Bunnybee!!! That was some erotic story! I wish I could get The Channel... it would've made my breakup a lot easier earlier this year. :P

I'm going to have to look into more of Beatrice Small's works... I'm hoping she has more in this style. I did pick up one of her historical romances recently, but I'm not sure it's going to be quite so erotic.

Thanks so much for sharing! I'm PMing TNelson99 as soon as I finish this to see if they're ready. :)

Journal Entry 29 by cheli-garza from Dallas, Texas USA on Monday, October 31, 2005

This came in today's mail. It was raining hard all morning & instead of putting the package in the mailbox, for some inconceivable reason the mailman just left it laying on the porch. The envelope was sodden, but luckily the book just seemed a bit humid and hasn't suffered any lasting effects. :) 

Journal Entry 30 by cheli-garza from Dallas, Texas USA on Monday, November 07, 2005

The first part of the book was so typical that it sounded fake. After a bit, though, it warmed up & started to get interesting. No, not just because of the sex! Though that did help. However, I couldn't help but be disappointed by Nora's acquiescence to the administrator's suggestion. What happened? How did she change from a caring, considerate woman, to an uncaring b*tch who only wanted the easy way out? Of course her husband was being an *ss, but was that any reason for her to seal his fate that way? Also, I thought the end left a bit to be desired.

IMHO. Anyhow, getting there was all the fun. Thanks for sharing! I've sent Suefitz a PM & am waiting on an address so this bad boy can be sent on.

11-11-2005: Going in today's mail. 

Journal Entry 31 by Suefitz from Saratoga, California USA on Wednesday, November 30, 2005

Received safe and sound will add to the pile of TBR (am reading as fast as I can now and in every spare moment).

Would love to find more books like this to read. Very intriguing story line.
