10. My week – Geez, nothing happened this week. We’ve fallen into a boring fall routine, which honestly is just fine with me. Kids go to school, I get caught up in reading and forget to buy milk or do the laundry, hubs sighs and rolls his eyes. Yep – normal stuff around here ;) And for those keeping score at home – the hot tub is still sitting in our driveway.
9. The cover for Night Magic by Jennifer Lyon has been released. This is the third book in her Wing Slayers series. A very fun paranormal series with hot witch hunters. Releases March 22nd.
8. Orbit announced this week that their author, Jennifer Rardin has passed away. Jennifer was the author of the popular Jaz Parks books.
7. JR Ward’s website has undergone a make-over – go check it out! She says on her message board that the cover for Payne’s book should be released any day and that she has her suspicion for which brother is up next after Payne, but wouldn’t say who quite yet.
6. Yesterday on Twitter, author Seleste deLaney introduced me to Christian Kane, who plays Eliot Spencer on the show Leverage. Watch the montage video above – he could seriously be a romance book hero! I think I need to start watching this show…..I want him to come rescue me. Maybe while on horseback. I’m usually not into dudes with longer hair – but he is pretty buff….
5. Blog of the Week – Janicu’s Book Blog. I love this girl’s reviews!! She reads a lot of UF/Fantasy and she always makes very interesting points in her reviews. She is also a lovely tweeter:) Go check her out!
4. LB Gregg and Josh Lanyon in one book?? YES PLEASE. Go HERE to read the blurbs. Releases October 29th.
3. My review of Double Cross by Carolyn Crane will be up next week and Katiebabs has her review up today. You guys – this book – omg. If you have not read Mind Games (book one in this series) YOU MUST DO IT THIS WEEKEND so you are all prepared for Double Cross on 9/28. Listen to Smexy.
2. I know I talk a lot about The Killers here, but I do have love for many other bands *gasp* I know. One of them being – Scissor Sisters. And seriously, how can you not buy an album with that cover art? If you are having a bad day, just glance at that tight hiney – or dance to moves like THESE. I promise you will smile ;) Seriously, I LOVE this group. Excuse me while I go dance around my living room….
1. I’m so glad it is Friday! This weekend I’m going to the home opener of the Raven’s (our NFL football team). Very excited for that. We also have a big week at Smexy coming up – Jennifer Estep, Carolyn Crane and Ilona Andrews should all be stopping by for a visit. Happy Reading!!
haha. I remember when I first discovered Scissor Sisters maybe 5 years ago — when this song was new: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIaU3GGnN9c
Yes – I love that video and song!! They are a great and fun band!
Oh you found Elliot from Leverage. He used to be in Angel as one of the suits. He is smexy .
Holy cow, that is a big week coming up! And I am enjoying your hot tub updates :)
Happy Weekend!
Julie – Yes, she mentioned Angel. I haven't seen Angel. I know – I miss out on all the good stuff!
Julie – LOL..I wish my next update would be the hot tub has been installed. But I don't see that happening. Now there is talk of electricians and permits. *sob*
I remember him from Angel also! He has aged well ;)
HAHAHAHA I am still laughing over the Holding Out For a Hero song on this Christian Kane video omg it is KILLING me. I remember him from Angel too! can't… stop… giggling… over this montage.
THANK YOU for keeping us up to date on everything JR Ward!
Oh Double Cross. LOVES!!! You better get the hot tub where it needs to be for it'll be buried under 10 feet of snow soon! hehe. :)
Double Cross should be retitled. OMG OMG.
I can't wait for Payne's cover. I do hope there is heavy Qhuay action going on.
Mandi: You haven't watch ANGEL? Oh my! Thanks for the weekly updates! I'm missing Tori's Friday 56 this week! Hope all is okay!
Oh my gosh I love Leverage! That man has prettier hair than I do which should make me uncomfortable, but he's just so adorable:) And we've already discussed the brilliance that is Double Cross. LOVED it:)
JR's new website looks awesome and I can't wait for the cover of Payne's book. I have faith it will be awesome.

You love another band too?! My world is crushed…
Lol, btw I love Brandon's new song :)
Sharon – I am missing out on angel!
Pamela – omg..that song and him are perfect for each other! hahahaha
FV – *sobs* I will never get to use it.
KB – oh I love The Qhuay!
Jen – I know! I suck. There are so many shows…and Tori and I just totally forgot..lol.
Jenny – HAHA..his hair is pretty. That montage is almost cheesy which is why I love it oh so much.
PH – it will be awesome..I wonder what color it will be?
Blodeuedd – I know – I still love my Killer boys!!
Double Cross –> Oh.Em.Gee. I finished it last night and sat back and just said, 'wow just wow'.
Christian Kane = Yummy! Plus, he sings and plays guitar. :)
Christian Kane – OMG! He rocked on Angel. One of the reasons I watched. Loved the montage.
Um…sounds like hubs needs to hit the gym a bit harder if he can't yet lift the hot tub over the back fence. Ah well. All else fails, just leave it in the driveway and run an extension cord out to it. I doubt the neighbors would mind if you had hot tub parties in the driveway. ;)
Here's hoping you don't have to wait for Santa to magically get the hot tub over or through the fence. :)
I'm looking forward to see what you think of Bayou Moon and Venom. I read both this week and think they deserved 4 or 4.5 stars. I definitely believe Venom is the best Gin Blanco story to date!
I love Leverage. And you should check out Christian Kane on Angel. Yummy and evil at the same time. ;-)
Oh wow, you surprised me with this blog of the week thing! *sniff*. Making me happy.
I CANNOT WAIT to read DOUBLE CROSS. Ohhh, it shall be mine!
