First up, Nalini Singh has posted an excerpt to her upcoming book, Bonds of Justice. Go HERE for the excerpt. It will be released July 6th.
Blameless, the third book in Gail Carriger’s Alexia Tarabotti series now has a cover:
I LOVED the first book, Soulless, and the second book, Changeless releases soon. You can watch how they created the above cover, HERE.
Awhile ago, Karen Marie Moning started a facebook page for some of her characters. I of course immediately became “friends” with Barrons. NOW, her characters are also on Twitter. *SWOON* I can tweet Barrons! Just like I can tweet Eric’s butt. Seriously, my life is complete.
For a listing of all Facebook and Twitter links, go HERE.
I found a new book to read today via Babbling About Books and More – The Shunned by Jay Hughes. It is a M/M Erotic Amish story – featuring a mob lawyer, a shootout, and the witness protection program and from what I hear – verra naughty smex. Naughty Amish smex? oh yes, I have to read this – it is already on my Kindle :) I will report back.
The first official trailer has released for Eclipse! Now, Eclipse is my favorite of the four books (and it has nothing to do with a tent scene that in my mind may include ménage). The trailer is a little “meh” to me…but we still have three months to be bombarded with clips..so I won’t give up hope yet.
Finally, Alexander Skarsgard is hot. That is about all there is to say. Is it June yet?
Heather (DarklyReading) says
Yeah I just saw that Barrons is on twitter – what would I tweet him though..you are hot 'nough said ;)
I love that pic of Alexander Skarsgard – he's so dreamy..
Mandi says
LOL..I know. It is pressure to tweet him. What should I say?
He does respond on fb once in awhile ;) (and yes, I know he is fictional!)
Moonsanity says
You know, I'm SOOOOO sick of The Twilight hype but I was watching the trailer and my hubs asked when it was coming out. Well, that is 6 days after my birthday and he said we could make it a night with a movie and dinner (no kids!)and I giggled like a little girl. I swear I turn into a teen when I see the trailers and movies. I'm just hoping Edward won't look so constipated in this one. *snicker*
I am ashamed to admit I haven't read any Karen Marie Moning yet. I know, what the hell am I thinking. I NEED to read her books!!
Blodeuedd says
Trailer, meh
Mandi says
What a nice hubs!! That sounds like a fun night out :) My ten yr wedding anniversary is on the Saturday of opening weekend..I doubt my hubs is going to want to celebrate by watching Eclipse ;) Might have to sneak to the midnight showing on Friday with some girls.
And yes, you have to read KMM!!! :)
Mandi says
Blodeuedd – LOL. It sounds like you are over Twilight ;)
The Queen B says
I cannot wait for Eclipse to come out, just b/c brother-in-law and I have date night to watch Twilight movies together and I make him buy me popcorn and we mock. It's so fun. Also, I can't wait for the chick who does the Twilight in 15 minutes on lj to get ahold of Eclipse. I'm all atwitter with gleeful anticipation.
In other news, I'm like the only chick/or even guy on the planet that doesn't think Alexander Skargard is hot. Ah well, you win some, you lose some :P
Mandi says
B – We hit the wine bar hard before seeing a Twilight movie – makes for a much more enjoyable time ;) Plus, I have little Eddie to bring along.
I don't know if I've seen the 15 min lj thing..will have to look it up!!
I will forgive you this one time for your ASkars comment ;)
Patti says
I am soooo behind in Nalini Singh books. I can't believe they're releasing the Blameless cover when Soulless isn't even out yet – isn't that unusual?
As soon as I saw I could tweet Barrons I was all over that. And Christian MacKeltar too *sigh*
Looking forward to your report on naughty Amish sex…Saavy readers lets you pick a genre then under categories Amish is one of your choices. I must confess I've not picked that category yet…
Patti says
Oops – I meant Savvy Readers!
Mandi says
Patti – I still haven't read Blaze of Memory :(
I don't know if that is unusual for a cover release or not…
LOL – I would have never picked up an Amish romance..but the blurb was just too good to pass up ;)
Cecile says
Okay, just stopping by for the daily drool session!! Thanks for the noms! Going add more the list!! Thanks hon!
VampFanGirl says
Alright, so ECLIPSED gave me chills thank you very much for that Mandi. And I'm with you too, ECLIPSE was my fave as well. I love me a good love triangle. TEAM JACOB!!
Wow, that cover for BLAMELESS is amazing! Thanks for the heads up!!
Hugs, VFG
Katiebabs a.k.a KB says
All hail hot tween tent menage scene!
Team Jacob.
Danielle87 says
I want to tweet Eric's butt. I would tweet the hell outta that butt! Oooohhhh, baby!
I love the cover for 'Blameless'. Gail Carriger's covers are exquisite.
Cool trailer for 'Eclipse' But seriously, why does Bella's hair look so bad? It's all frizzy and wig-like… probably because Ms. Stewart was sporting a mullet underneath?
Moonsanity says
You guys would have loved watching Twilight with my husband. He laughed SO hard the first time they showed Dr. Cullen he practically choked. He's like "OMG, look at that make-up on him.". We have a good time:)
So, what Moning book should I start out with?
Mandi says
Cecile – :)
VFG – Team Jacob..LOL! (me too!) I love the Blameless cover!!!
KB – I lurve tent menage
Danielle – LMAO!!! He is fun to tweet too :) Snort..poor Kristin Stewart..no love!
Moonsanity – I made my hubs watch it..it wasn't pretty ;) I think New Moon comes out soon…so he will be forced to watch that too.
I say start with Darkfever, that is the first in her UF series. She also writes a highlander series which is more romance, but her fever series is amazing!!
Moonsanity says
Cool, that's the one I was thinking about starting with, so I will try to get it soon– VERY soon.
heidenkind says
You're so good to us, Mandi, feeding us Alexander Skarsgard. YUM. :)
The Eclipse trailer is kinda meh. Only one shot of Taylor Lautner's nekkid chest?! What's up with that?
Hilda says
Ick, can't even bear to watch the trailer. Is there anything more cheesy?
However, Alex, yum yum.
Ava March says
A m/m erotic Amish book with hot sex??? Can't wait for you to report back on The Shunned! *g*
Erotic Horizon says
I do hope you like The Shunnd.. it's was a good read for me.
I am very excited to see the Eclipse movie now..
E.H>
The Book Vixen says
I can't wait to see Eclipse! And thank goodness Eric comes back in June. It's been pretty lonely without him.
orannia says
Thank you Mandi. Not sure how I feel about Eclipse as I had issues with the book (and Jacob's uncharacteristic actions).
Oh, and my library has Gail Carriger's books now, so I can read Souless – YAH!
