Sawyer (my tv boyfriend) and gang are on the run (I assume they get away from Horace?)Does anyone know where Rose and Bernard are??? Desmond - how is he going to play into the rest of the season?

My Thoughts on Lover Avenged – JR Ward
**SPOILERS** **SPOILERS** **SPOILERS**I talk about everything that happens in the book, so be warned!Let me start off by saying I am a JR Ward fangirl all the way. I love all of her books (some more than others) and I visit her message boards on a daily basis. This isn't really a review, so much as why I really love this author and her books:)The book started off slow to me, and I had a few moments of slight panic, however, by page 150 or so the book got in its groove, and it was classic Continue Reading

The Day of Rehvenge is Here!!!
Lover Avenged is officially out!! I am off to my bookstore to pick it up (a copy for my bestie too!!)I have decided to embrace my inner dork and wear a purple shirt today in honor or Rehvenge - he has amethyst eyes for those that do not know. I can't help myself:)My plan is to put my kids to bed at 5pm (what? too early?) and read, read, read. Then head straight to JR Ward's message boards and discuss (where people who have advanced copies are already discussing..not fair!) until I can't type Continue Reading

Magic Strikes – Ilona Andrews
This book takes place a few years ahead in the future where magic has bested technology. Usually, every couple of days the magic flares, leaving technology dead - cars don't work, lights go out, and creatures of all kinds come out to play. People that have natural magical abilities are strongest at this time. Then technology will rise again for a few days and the world is back to "normal." However, people with magical abilities are still able to perform, although at a somewhat weaker pace.In Continue Reading
Random Bits on a Friday

Once I am done, I will be sure to write about the book and series in more depth.I just saw two books that I must have - both by Carolyn Jewel.Forbidden Desires, coming May 26th just Continue Reading
Mark Your Calendars – Chat with JR Ward and The Brothers
Tuesday, May 19th at 8pm EST there will be an online chat with JR Ward to discuss Lover Avenged and everything else BDB related.If you have never been to one of her chats you are missing out. She will come online first and do a question/answer session. That is crazy enough...there are always tons of people online and everyone wants to talk and the moderators have their hands full keeping everyone in order. But that is nothing compared to when JR Ward logs off. There is a little window that Continue Reading
New Moon Werewolves
What do we think of the New Moon werewolves? I found this pic over at Just Jared's site.Left to right are: Paul (Alex Meraz), Sam (Chaske Spencer), Jared (Bronson Pelletier), and Embry (Kiowa Gordon).I pictured Sam as older, but I can't remember the others very well...I read New Moon too long ago. My, my, the werewolves have some nice abs.Here is the latest pic of Edward (Robert Pattinson) from the set:Yeah, still Team Edward! Continue Reading
