Book, Blog and Other News

March 11, 2010 by Mandi 24 Comments

branded by fire nalini singhFirst 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.

The ShunnedI 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?

    He does respond on fb once in awhile ;) (and yes, I know he is fictional!)

    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!!

    And yes, you have to read KMM!!! :)

    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

    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 ;)

    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 – 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 ;)

    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?

    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?

    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!!

    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!
