10. My Week – It’s been a nice week. Kids have off school today and How to Train Your Dragon is out on DVD. So in the words of Rose from Ilona Andrews’ On The Edge – “Go brush your teeth, comb your hair, put on dry clothes, and get the guns. We’re going to Wal-Mart.”
9. Cover alert! Sydney Croft is the pen name for the writing team of Larissa Ione and Stephanie Tyler. Taken by Fire will be the final book in their ACRO series. Hello waterfall sex! I always say desk sex is my favorite but waterfall sex has potential. We can find out next June.
8. Tonight at 8pm EST JR Ward is having an online chat about Crave and her BDB world. Here is a LINK to the chat room. The password prompt will disappear once the chat room opens a few minutes before 8. Earlier this week, we found out some fun JR Ward spoilers. (and yes, I’m feeling up JR Ward in that picture ;)
7. Everyone needs to go check out Stacy’s blog pronto! First, she writes awesome reviews and blog posts that make you think. Second, it was her birthday on Monday and she is having awesome giveaways all week! Finally, I “met” her on Twitter long ago and she is truly one of the sweetest, kindest, funniest people I talk to. I even forgive her for giving Brandon Flowers the nickname “Bruce Weeds.”
6. Tori’s Friday 56.
“You scared?”, Nigel asked him. “Scared….me? No way! I’m totally cool with it.” “You’re scared.” Darcy laughed. “Come on , you’ll be fine. “ Nigel said, patting his cheek playfully. “We’ll protect you from the spooky spooks.”
Haunted Lily: The Nightmare Ball by Sidney Fox

Happy Friday!!
5. Victoria Beckham actually says something that I completely agree with on the cover of this month’s Marie Claire.
“I look at David naked and I think, You done good, girl!”
Yes, yes you have Victoria.
4. Ann Aguirre’s young adult book, Enclave, now has a new cover. It used to look like this, (and was titled Razorland)
I don’t know – I like the original cover better, I think. But it sounds like they changed it so it would appeal to a broader population. I suppose the new cover appeals to males more :) Either way, I’m excited for it. Enclave releases April 12, 2011.
3. Richard Armitage has been cast as Heinz Kruger in next year’s Captain America movie. RAWR is all that needs to be said. Might have to pull out my North and South DVDs tonight.
2. Tomorrow I am having my October Edition of “Take My Books.” Did this need an entire number to itself? No, but I was one short. ;)
1. Right now I am reading and really enjoying the naughty BDSM A Harmless Little Obsession by Melissa Schroeder. This weekend I hope to read Abandoned by J.P Barnaby and start Seducing the Succubus by Cassie Ryan. Happy Friday!
I liked the previous Ann Aguirre cover better. :)
Have a wonderful weekend.
M
love the orginal cover better too.
I have those days with my kids and pick up movies too.
Of course I'm drooling over the cover TAKEN BY FIRE, verra good stuff :) and you've got quite some weekend reading ahead of you! I've read Abandoned – wow, I've read Seducing A Succubus – it was good and I've got ALHO by Melissa Schroeder on the e-reader too. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on all of them ;)
Are you going to join JR Wards chat tonight Mandi? They always sound like chaos crazy but fun LOL
OooO kidlet and hubs want to see that movie-might be heading to Wally World later.
Ummm, yea Victoria, you done real good. ;)
I have to say I like Ann Aguirre's old cover and old title better. But hey, wth do I know?
I'm reading Gray's Awakening this weekend. Nom. Nom.
Have a great weekend girlie!
I'm a book behind but I like the ACRO series. Mmmm Creed. Is it wrong to be jealous of your J.R. Ward picture even with that caption?
Stephanie G
Paranormal Haven
I take it the hot tub status is unchanged? ;)
Hi Mandi,
Taken by Fire… Great cover, I'm happy, but sad too, the last ACRO series book… I'm going to miss Creed so much =(
David Becks… Hmmm he's just perfect and so so so sexy…
Please take lots os notes at the Warden chat tonight, the time zone is terrible for the Brazilian fans, I'm counting on you Mandi! =)
Rawr indeed ;)
Love me some Armitage
I was wondering about the hot tub too. Wow, what an exciting life I lead to be thinking about your hot tub every Friday afternoon…lol Sounds like you have a full reading weekend ahead of you. I hope they are all happy reads for you!
The Victoria Beckham quote made me chuckle. But I'm curious, what is "Take my Book" about?
The hot tub is not going well. Contractors now must be called, fences must be installed, a complete overhaul of our electrical system has to be done.
So much for impulse buying!! ;)
Sondrae – It is a contest I do once a month to give away current releases – books I have either received two copies of to review or ones I just can't get to…
Oh nom, David! I like the the old cover and title for Razorland/Enclave too.
I agree as well, Victoria did damn good!
I also agree that the first cover for Ann Aguirre's new YA was much better. I wouldn't give the newly dubbed ENCLAVE a second or even first glance at the book store. Yuck!
Mrs. Beckahm – when you're right you are soooooooo right.
lol @ Smexy – you totally copped a feel of the Warden! Smooth move :)
Victoria Beckham talks to herself in the third person?
*sigh* I wanna see David naked!
I LOVE the ACRO series so much and cannot wait to read the final book. I will miss that series when it's gone…. I'm so glad to hear that there are other Creed (and Anika) fans… What is gonna happen with them?! *bites nails* And Dev *sigh* I heart him so!
And yea for Stacey! She does rock!!
Thanks Mandi – Your Top 10 is the best!
Richard Armitage has been cast as Heinz Kruger in next year’s Captain America movie.
Does that mean we have to share? *grin* Kidding! Congrats to him! And now you've mentioned North & South I want to watch it…again :)
