10. My Week – My boys have been in Science Camp all week. One of the days was, Explosion Day. Now I have to buy Diet Coke and Blue Mentos (must be that exact combination) so we can set off an explosion of diet coke in the backyard. I’m excited to see how high we can get it to go :)
9. I found this goodie at Paranormal Haven blog this past week. The cover for Fair Game, book three in Patricia Brigg’s Alpha & Omega series. Finally! Okay, we still have to wait until early February for the book to come out (no 2011 release) but at least we have a cover now! And blurb:
They say opposites attract. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. The son—and enforcer—of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant alpha, while Anna, an omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind.
Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can’t afford any bad publicity. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father’s dirty work is taking its toll on Charles. Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston when the FBI requests the pack’s help on a local serial killer case. They quickly realize that not only were the last two victims werewolves—all of them are. Someone is targeting their kind. And their investigation has put Anna and Charles right in the killer’s sights.
Big thanks to Has for sending me the link!
I really enjoyed the first two books – Cry Wolf and Hunting Ground. Fair Game is due out February 7th.
8. Carolyn Crane announced that the third book in her Disillusionists series will be coming to audio first, before the E-Book is released this December. Audible.com has picked up the series and all three will be released in audio this October! Which means we get to “hear” Justine and Packard. Fact – I’ve never listened to a book. Another fact – I will DEFINITELY be getting the third book from audible. How can I not? I love this series. Can’t wait to hear it! ;)
7. I just finished The Amorous Education of Celia Seaton by Miranda Neville – It’s adorable and will have my review up at the end of July. Celia is not the only one to get an education though. I learned a new word. Let me see if you can guess what it means – a quote from the book:
She clutched his pintle, hard, feeling it twitch like a wild animal in her grasp.
The first definition I’ve found at most online dictionaries, is the pin to a rudder. Well, she is not clutching a rudder, but she is definitely steering something! Pintle is an Old English term for penis. I’ve never heard it used before. But after that quote, damn. I’m feeling the pintle might have a comeback. Does everyone feel smarter now? I’m happy to spread the peen knowledge around.
This book comes out July 26th.
6. Per Ellora’s Cave’s facebook page, Laurann Dohner has just signed a 75 book contract. Yes – 75 books. Sounds kind of crazy, right? No timeframe has been given but still – that is A LOT of books. I also noticed Ellora Cave says:
Update! “FURY“, the first book in Laurann’s newest series, “New Species”, releases Wednesday, July 27! More than 100K words of pure alpha male… :)
I’ve never read her but poked around on Goodreads. Maybe I’ll give one a try…
5. Cover Alert! Caught in the Act by Jill Sorenson. I recently read The Edge of Night and really liked it. I plan to read her backlist before this one comes out (Marcy 2012)
4. Sweet Jaysus Neville Longbottom. When did you become a 22 year old Clive Owen look alike?
This is what I call a puberty thumbs up.
3. I’ve never watched Battlestar Galactica – BUT – if I had know this hottie (Jamie Bamber) was in it, I would have been all over it. I love this little scene. He is SO close to losing that towel. She almost reached out and shook something else. *dies*
1. This weekend we are taking the boys to an amusement park. And then Sunday we are seeing Harry Potter! My kids are so excited. I am too! Happy Friday!
Oh thats one of my fave scenes from Battlestar G…He was one of the reasons we now own a season of the series.
Amazing Neville grew to become Hot..ah harry potter cast grew up before our eyes.
Happy Friday
I believe I need to get that series asap!!
Love to see the difference in all the cast members of HP. They have all grown up!
Oh Apollo…. You can drop the towel for me any day you want! But Mandi, you have to watch BSG for Helo. <3
Have fun at the amusement part and Harry Potter this weekend. My lil sister said the movie was AMAZING!
Helo? More hotness?? *runs to Netflix*
I was sad that I didnt make this weeks top 10 list. But then I got to #1 and realized I did. No – not the mention of the amusement park in which I am only included as part of “we”, but rather the blunt card itself :D
Yes hubs – the card is for you *giggles*
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE HEAD/NECK OF THE GUY ON THE DISILLUSIONIST BOOK?!?!? yes, i was yelling on purpose. the sheer wtf-ery overwhelmed me. O.o
That is just the trading card the author created – not the cover.
Maybe the shadow throws it off? LOL – not sure. I focus lower ;)
Whew! Thank goodness. I looked like they cropped his head and repositioned it or something. But I believe you are right, I shall keep my eyes focused closer to the down below places, and all will be right in my world ;)
Pintle, pintle, lol! I would have been confused ;)
And wow Neville, wow
PINTLE!
Realized I was just sitting here smiling at my computer ;)
LOL..yay :)
Oh hai Alide’s “area”. *giggles*
It’s his special “down below place”
Sorry, I claimed Nigel Matthew as my new lust.
You have seen this awesome tumblr dedicated to him?
http://fuckyeahmattlewis.tumblr.com/
Oooh..fuck yeah Matthew. Smexy likes!
**sigh** A person could be hypnotized watching those clips over and over again.
(I’m so excited for the new Alpha & Omega book. I think I like them even more than the Mercy books.)
So excited for this book – it’s been too long!
Thanks for the Alcide hotness!!!
Mmmm Alcide… God, he’s so yummy. Except he’s back with that C U Next Tuesday Debbie Pelt and that just makes me want to vomit. Still, I like to look at him. :)
I still can’t believe Neville Longbottom grew up and got all hot on us. When did that happen?? Holy crap! I hope he keeps acting cause I want to keep looking at him.
Dude, a contract for 75 books?? I hope she doesn’t dry up on the inspiration.
I guess I need to tune into True Blood, huh? I will…maybe ;)
The whole cast has grown up *wipes tear*
Wow, Neville Longbottom came out on the other side of puberty looking good!! ;)
Yes he did!! ;)
Oh my. Look at Alcide’s down below place. I absolutely have a crush on it. He should show it more often;-)
Snort – I’m going to use that “down below place” a lot…be prepared
that scene from battlestar gallactica…..WOAH….that dude is hott and you can definately see that he is packing.
I know!!!!! Lusting!
I have yet to buy an audio book and listen to and/or audio book. I’m thinking that’s going to change when the 3rd Disillusionist book comes out. I love the idea of Sterling being my first :-D
Wow, really wasn’t paying attention when I wrote that comment. I guess the thought of Sterling being my first had me focused on something else.
LOL – I read it just fine ;)
So excited!! Harry Potter, pinties, Disillusionists, more Alpha Omega books. SQUEEE!!!!
And the mentos/coke explosion ROCKS! We did that 2 years ago and kid loved it. :) Might have to go do it again.
You’ve done it? Awesome…I need to find blue mentos!
I checked out KB’s tumbler link – Neville got two really big puberty thumbs up!!
I watched that Battlestar vid like 10 times, and a part of me was hoping each time that that time would be when he actually lost his towel. ;)
haha..I know. He comes SO close to losing. it. Damn! :)
I can’t wait to read Fair Game!
Wow, Neville Longbottom came out on the other side of puberty looking good!! ;)
What Leontine said *grin*
And I spent all the time watching BSG trying not to droll over those abs! Manid – it’s a fantastic series. Very grey, as in the nothing is ever black and white ;)
Sigh – I need to watch this show. I bet hubs would like it too. :)
So many things to say about this Post!! ROFL!!
First, I’m a 32 yr old woman & I have the urge to go out and buy Mentos & Coke. Party at Redz house, lol.
Second, thank you for spreading the Peen Knowledge! PINTLE :D I feel smarter already
Third, I’m excited about Crane’s audio release on Audible. I LOVE listening to books. I have a long drive to work & they are great to workout to, IMO.
Fourth, well HELLO Neville! I also agree Leontine!! Yum.
Fifth, I’m lovin’ the Blunt Card! Its perfect. Is that a website?
Great Top Ten Mandi, thx for making me laugh!! Seeing HP in a few hours…can’t wait.
Mandi, If you decide to “Listen” to a book, you should give Phil Gigante a try. OMFG! His voice is aaahhhmazing! He has narrated all of Karen Marie Monings books. I actually bought them all because he has the sexiest voice I’ve ever heard. He’s givin me MANY an Eargasm!! I’m tellin’ ya girl, you won’t regret it!
I’m 33 and I can’t wait to set off the mentos explosion ;)
Yes – bluntcard.com. They are very…blunt.LOL And naughty!
I’m off to see HP today! I hope you enjoyed!
How’d the explosion go?
We took our kids to Cedar Point this past week – what a blast. I hadn’t been since the early to mid-1990’s. My 7 year old (who had never been on a big ride), devoured the roller coasters and even got me to go on one I was a little scared of. He’s my boy (my hubs is not a coaster fan). I can’t wait to go again!
I need to find blue mentos!
I haven’t been to Cedar Point in so long. I LOVE roller coasters and my 7 yr old love them too. My 5 yr old isn’t tall enough to ride them..but soon. We are a family that loves to ride coasters. I can’t wait until all four of us can.
Oh, BSG is totally an awesome series. A rare sci-fi show that, while set in a sci-fi setting focuses instead on human nature. Oh, and then there’s Apollo. And lots of other misc. eye candy. It’s a sexy show.
I *finally* caught up on True Blood, and lemme say I think this season is off to a much stronger start from last year. Loving it so far.
And Neville? Hubs & I went to see HP, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t feeling a bit…awkward for gawking at Neville’s scenes. Damn you for posting those weirdly-hawt pics last week! Now I can barely look at him without getting a stupid creepy grin on my face. :)
hahaha…he is smexy.
I also now have a major crush on Lucius Malfoy…I’m weak. ;)
