10. My week – My boys have been in superhero camp all week. I predict they will be wearing their capes and “flying” off furniture the rest of the summer. Stress for mommy!
9. There is a great contest going on for Sherrilyn Kenyon fans to celebrate the upcoming release of No Mercy (Dev’s story coming out this September). My Kenyon, Read it, Love it. You can shoot a video of yourself talking about why you love the Dark-Hunter series. Submit it on THIS website, and the favorites will be included in a montage video. Also, the grand prize winner will receive a $500 gift card. Contest is open and runs through July 1st! I will also be giving away TEN copies of No Mercy when it goes on sale. More details to come!!
8. After months and months of telling us she would NEVER join Twitter, guess who is the newest tweeter on the block? Kris from Kris ‘n’ Good Books is on Twitter you and must follow her and give her a hard time welcome her!!
7. Speaking of Kris, she brought my attention to the above shirt. I LUST after Anderson Cooper something fierce. I want that shirt!! It makes me laugh every time I see it!
6. Jeaniene Frost has given us a little taste of the Step Back (the inside cover) of Bones and Cat book #5, titled This Side of the Grave. Go HERE to see her post. This series is one of my absolute favorites and I really recommend if you have not read it yet.
5. One of my favorite bloggers, Stacy from Stacy’s Place on Earth is doing a fun set of posts interviewing some of her favorite bloggers/tweeters. She has featured Limecello, Susi Sunshine, Katiebabs, Cee Squared and Marg. They are fun posts and have really been enjoying them.
4. Before J.R. Ward wrote the Black Dagger Brotherhood, she wrote contemporaries as Jessica Bird. Now her publisher is re-releasing her previous four books, starting with An Unforgettable Lady due out July 6th. Tori will have her review coming soon. Go HERE for an excerpt.
3. So, I have this obsession with a TV show called, Say Yes to the Dress (on TLC.) It is just a stupid show that features future brides shopping for their dress at Kleinfelds. But darn it – it sucks me in and I must have my fix! I don’t know what it is about the show – maybe because it has been ten years since I shopped for my gown. Maybe it is the girls that come in that say they don’t have a budget and then they turn to their parents and say – I want this dress that is $24,000! I didn’t shed a tear at my wedding, but I watch this show (reruns are on at 5pm) and I sob into my spaghetti sauce when they find the perfect dress.
2. Guess what – if you drop your iPhone…it might SHATTER!! My six-month old baby is broken. *sobs into pillow*
1. I’m completely addicted to the World Cup. Go Team USA! Soccer not your thing? Here are 25 Sexy (and shirtless) reasons why you should watch. :)
Chris says
Sorry to hear about you iPhone. :( Sadly, I've been reading that the new iPhone 4 is even MORE fragile…
Superhero camp?! That is so cool!
Pamela "SpazP" says
— If I could tolerate myself on camera I would totally sit and gush forever on my love for the Dark-Hunter series. Id probably gush about Acheron for an hour. BUT, I cannot bring myself to do it :)
— I HAVE GOT TO GET THAT ANDERSON COOPER shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!
— That stepback for TSotG is SO HOT I can't WAIT to see what the actual cover will look like!
— Can't WAIT to read Tori's review on An Unforgettable Lady, been sooo curious to see if her writing style is similar to what it is as JR Ward and if you can tell it's the same author.
Leontine says

You can fix that with a band-aid :( Hubby and are watching many soccer games in the world cup and YAY for team USA but the Netherlands has been doing good too YAY for team netherlands rofl Next week is going to be exciting, no more second chances, it is win or go.

Erotic Horizon says
Sorry to hear about the phone – did you have it insured or are you getting the even more fragile Iphone 4…
I feel your pain on that superhero camp thing.. I enjoyed the two weeks my boys were gone, tea in bed, staying up late – but good god I was literally traumatize with the flying capes and the superhero tool belt they came back with…
**shudder at memory**
Congrat USA – I thought they were brilliant and so determined… I cant' stand Chrisitano Rinaldo…. Does Brandon know of this obsession…
**looking up address of where he's staying in the UK**
You will be so busted…

Julie (Rumour) says
I think you are right that superhero camp will = 'issues' for mommy! lol I am my daughter's and 3 other's 'summer camp'. So right now I care for 4 two years olds and, on any given week day, from 2 to 4 five year olds too! I'm telling you, the 5 year olds are worst than the 2 year olds! And it's only been 3 days since school's been out! Is the summer over yet? Can they go back to school now?! lol
I LOVE the cover of Lover Mine, but I think it's going to get some serious competition from Bones if that tidbit is any indication.. YUM!
Heather (DarklyReading) says
I can't wait till TSotG! I'm excited for EKOD too! Yeah Frost and her sexy vamp men! Sorry about your iphone – I'm sure it's a heartbreaker!

Norma says
I love your top 10 list! I so look forward to it every week! I'm sorry about your phone. that stinks.
I'm not sure if I really want to read the Cat and Bones excerp. The last book left me feeling down which stunk because I LOVED the first three.
Hope your boys are easy on your furniture!
Mandi says
ERR – I know..my poor baby!
Norma – Thanks :) Was it because of the big fight? The only thing I can say is….I would expect (hope) that they have all the fighting and neg stuff out of the way and from here on out it will be happy (sexy) sailing for Cat and Bones!!!
Kris says
Gee, Mandi. Thanks a lot for rubbing the Twitter thing in my face. No seriously. It's awesome of you.
Ava March says
Oh no! Your baby is broken! :( I've dropped mine a couple times and each time I hold my breath as I rush to pick it up. And then I pet it and tell it it's okay, nothing's hurt, and please, please keep working for me. lol
Say Yes to the Dress – I totally heart that show! I never get home from the EDJ in time for the 5pm reruns, but I live for the Friday night reruns (and new episodes when it's in season). Randy rocks!!
Blodeuedd says
Lol, yes those guys is the onyl reason why I would watch it ;)
Lori Brighton says
Ha, i like say yes to the dress and Anderson Cooper too!

heidenkind says
So what you're saying is, now you have the perfect excuse to buy the new iPhone, right? ;)
Eyre says
So sorry about your iPhone!
Your #8 was fabulous!
I love Say Yes to the Dress. I like all those wedding shows. I don't know why. I've never been married and I don't plan on ever finding myself in that situation. :)
orannia says

Will I be shot if I ask who Anderson Cooper is? *ducks*
