10.This has been my FB and Twitter stream all day. I want a gruff, dark Batman..not sure Affleck can pull that off. But either way – we now can call him BATFLECK and is all is right in the world.

9. Jurisha on Twitter yesterday told me to read Aftermath by Cara Dee. After I went to Goodreads and saw my friend Amy read and enjoyed, I plopped down and started reading. And I read it straight through. This is the story of Cameron and Austin, who along with eight other men were kidnapped by a psycho, and held in cages in a basement for five months. Cam and Austin shared a cage. They went through hell together. Austin was married, but after being free, his marriage falls apart. They both suffer from extreme anxiety and PTSD in present day. The book goes back and forth between flashbacks of their captivity and present day where they go from needing each other for support to romantic feelings. Both flashbacks and present day are done really well. The flashbacks are freaking creepy as their captor pretends each of the men is someone who wronged him in life (his boss, father, brother – although the men are actual strangers to this guy). He does verra bad things. In present day these two have a bond due to their captivity. Once they turn to a physical relationship the sex is really hot. I really enjoyed this one and I’m going to stalk this author’s backlist. Goodreads l Kindle

7. More 2014 news: Maya Banks has announced a new series: The Surrender Trilogy. From Maya’s Facebook Page:

And now for a little "background info" on the new SURRENDER TRILOGY

In the Breathless trilogy, the books were all connected via three guy best friends. The SURRENDER trilogy is a bit different in that the three female leads are best friends. HOWEVER, all the characters are entertwined. It’s about a "group" of friends connected through marriage or friendship.
It’s also set in Houston and in the same WORLD as the Sweet Series. It’s not a true spin off but you’ll see a LITTLE of the Sweet Series world in the books Namely The House and one Damon Roche

You can see all three covers and blurbs for this series HERE.

4. Enough of this book talk! BOOOORING. LOL. Kidding, kidding. But seriously you guys. We have two epic lady boner moments to discuss from this week. We’ll start with Jon Snow.

Yes, I know his real name is Kit Harington but I don’t like that name, so I call him Jon Snow. To me is will always be the tortured virgin who doesn’t need a hat in sub-zero degree temperatures in the snow with high wind and PERFECT HAIR.

Anyway – he is going to be in new movie called Pompeii. He doesn’t wear a lot of clothes. His abs, OH HIS ABS. And I’m pretty sure his hair is still perfect to match his perfect abs and hopefully other perfect body parts. WHAT’s UNDER YOUR SKIRT THING JON SNOW?!

And the trailer:

Pretty sure Jon Snow will save Pompeii with flying dragons and by shouting: WINTER IS COMING – THE NIGHT IS DARK AND FULL OF TERRORS.

Releases February 2014 <—effing 2014 rears its ugly head again!

3. Eric from True Blood aka ASkars went FULL FRONTAL. While reading a book so that is extra SMEXY. Now, I didn’t actually see this episode, only pics from the internets. And OH INTERNETS you are so good to us. But he is also on fire. My god don’t let the peen burn.

The only thing that would have made this better is if Alcide would have been nakey with Eric. (what?)

Here is a LINK to the set of full pics from the scene that includes his nakey peen. So NSFW!

(Also, the tumblr these images are coming from “Real Men on Tumblr” go take a lookey. VERY NSFW but oh my my my.)

2. Have y’all heard of Drunk History? I believe it started as a web series on FunnyorDie but now Comedy Central has picked it up. It features actual drunk people retelling an historical event. They are DAMN funny (sometimes vomit which isn’t so funny – LOL) They have actors who lip-sync what the drunk person is saying.

Anyway, one of the first Drunk Histories isn’t a retelling of an event but the retelling of Twas the Night Before Christmas. It has Ryan Gosling and Jim Carey and it makes me giggle every time I see it!! I haven’t watched these on Comedy Central but plan to catch up soon.

1. It’s meet the teacher day and then Monday my kids go back to school. We had such a fun summer! But the words ‘back to school’ get me a bit excited, not going to lie *wink* Have a great weekend! Read something Smexy!
