10. Since Mandi is on vacation this week; basking in the sun, drinking fruity little drinks with umbrellas, and staring at sexy moobs and I’m stuck here in the rain with no fruity drinks… no sexy moobs… *sigh* I am doing this Friday’s Top Ten.
9. Chloe Neill has posted the first chapter of Drink Deep. SQUEEEE!!! Hard Bitten left us with a HUGE “ I wanna kick someone’s arse” cliffhanger.
Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and Merit the vampire can’t tell if this is the darkness before the dawn, or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times have never been more precarious for the vampires. If only they could lay low for a bit…
Then magic rears its ugly head when Lake Michigan turns black. The mayor insists it’s nothing to worry about, but Merit knows a panic is coming. She’ll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who’s behind this, and stop them before it’s too late for both the vampires and humans.
Drink Deep releases November 2011.
8. I talked on twitter about how a now ex friend borrowed my copy of Magic Slays, preceded to lose it, and then told me to…wait for it…CHILLAX. *gasp* The Kate Daniels series is one of the few that I keep on my shelve permanently. I have bought at least 4 copies of each book because I re read them with such frequency they fall apart.
After I gave her a swirly, I went a bought a new copy. *petting my shiny preciousssss* and decided that I needed to re read it to make myself feel better.
So, question for all of you that have read Magic Slays. When Kate does the blood magic she ‘hears’ 3 presences. Do you think the one talking gently to her was Roland? I do.
7. I watched re watched Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse this week. Don’t be haters! 
I’ve always been Team Edward but daymb it…if I was Bella I’d be tapping Jacob in a heart beat. For research purposes of course. :P
6. Sherrilynn Kenyon’s newest Dark Hunter book Retribution is set to release Aug. 22 
What surprises me is that we are getting a SECOND book in November.
The Guardian is a Dream Hunter book. I can’t wait. I love the dream hunters. We are suppose to see D’Alerian in here. Squeeee!!!!
Dream-Hunter Lydia has been charged with the most sacred and dangerous of missions: To descend into the Nether Realm and find the missing god of dreams before he betrays the secrets that could kill her and her kind. What she never expects is to be taken prisoner by the Realm’s most vicious guardian…
Seth’s time is running out. If he can’t hand over the entrance to Olympus, his own life and those of his people will be forfeit. No matter the torture, Seth hasn’t been able to break the god in his custody. Then there’s the beautiful Dream-Hunter Lydia: She isn’t just guarding the gates of Olympus—she’s holding back one of the world’s darkest powers. If she fails, an ancient curse will haunt the earth once more and no one will be safe. But evil is always seductive…
5. It has rained here for 7 days straight. Please, someone, make it stop.
4. We have been in the process of redoing our house for 10 years. I know…that’s a long dang time huh? Well, when your husband is a contractor, coming home to do restoration is like a busman’s holiday. We finally got the Florida Room enclosed with windows and I found the tiles I wanted.
BEFORE AFTER
We decided to make it into kid’s play area . Do you see that mis matched ugly arse shade on the right? *sigh* That’s where bad dog climbs on couch to look out window. Until I train him to stop that-I have to keep a $5 paper shade up there because I replace them once a month.
Here is a sample of mine and T’s conversation while doing the tile.
Me-What can I do?
T-Hand me tiles.
Me-Ok.
T-Your not doing it right.
Me-How can I not hand you tiles right?
T Never mind, let me do it.
2 hours later
Me-What can I do?
T-Here’s a trowel. Help me spread grout into tiles.
Me-Ok.
T-Your not doing it right. Never mind, let me do it.
Next day
Me-What can I do?
T-Take a sponge and help me wipe off the tiles.
Me-Ok.
T-Your not doing it right. Never mind, let me do it.
This is why we don’t work together.
3. A friend and I were taking about random crazy stuff and she started telling me about some crazy laws on the books in her state. It got me thinking… what are the laws here in FL because I never really hear about them until I break them. :P So here are some crazy laws still on the books in Florida.
-The state constitution allows for freedom of speech, a trial by jury, and pregnant pigs to not be confined in cages.
-Unmarried couples may not commit “lewd acts” and live together in the same residence.
-It is illegal to sell your children.
-A special law prohibits unmarried women from parachuting on Sunday or she shall risk arrest, fine, and/or jailing.
-If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle.
-Men may not be seen publicly in any kind of strapless gown.
-Having sexual relations with a porcupine is illegal.
-You may not fart in a public place after 6 PM. (T is so lucky this one isn’t enforced)
2. All we need is LOVE. I thought this was so cute! JFK airport was shut down for a few hours the other day due to some turtle lovin’. :) Apparently JFK is surrounded by lots of water and the runway lights provide a romantic glow so the little turtles were getting their groove on and laying eggs. YEA to JFK for shutting down the runways and relocating the amorous turtles.
1. I love autocorrectfail.org
Hey Tori! Awesome top ten! We’ve been in my house since ’92 and still have major remodeling to do. You are so lucky your hubby can do that stuff himself, even if it takes a while to get it done. I started out as team Edward…but around movie number 2, when Taylor Lautner “grew up”; well there was no choice to switch teams. I love Kenyon, but I will not buy another DH hardback. I am excited about a new dream hunter book though! And thanks to the link for the autocorrect epic fail site, I just laughed my ass off for about 15 minutes. So much so, that my 15 yr old came to see what I was doing. :) Have a GREAT weekend!
TEAM JACOB!!!
Wow, I can’t get over # 8. Your friend LOST your book and told you to chillax? And it was Magic Slays?!?!! I would be kicking some major arse! I’ve also got multiple copies of the Kate Daniels series – it’s just that awesome.
She’s lucky there were witnesses…that’s all I have to say. o_0
I can’t WAIT till Kate meets Roland. EPIC!!
This post is cracking me up!
The laws are insane and hilarious
And yes to the Roland hypothesis. I SO want him to turn out ‘okay’ in the end. I always think of this series as Supernatural ‘Kill Bill’ . I just hope it’ll end better! =P
Totally agree about Roland!!! He’s got to be the voice, especially given the note from Hugh at the end, right? And I’m interested to see if Roland is redeemed one day, especially given what we learn about Kate’s stepfather in this book.
I love the crazy laws that are still on the books. They crack me up.
Is it bad I want Roland and Kate to friends?? LOL
It’s still illegal to have sexual relations with a porcupine *gasp* what does the pro sexpine asociation have to say about that! ;) And you just have to love autocorrectfail…it never fails to make me laugh!
I’m more upset over the illegal selling of kids. if they knew some of the kids I did…LOLOL
As I am reading this from home, since I have the day off *pumpsfistdoesnakedswirlydance* I am free to laugh loudly and snort to my heart’s content! Awesome top 10! :D
Thank you!! *muah*
Great list Tori and the pics are hilarious!
Thank you. :) *MUAH*
Wow. Feel bad for Jenna’s (ex) boyfriend…
Yea, me too. But the …”This is awkward…” cracks me up every time.
Oh, yeah. That was funny.
I’m also sick of the rain. Especially when I’m running across the street and kick my foot through a huge puddle that didn’t look nearly as deep as it really is. And my dad is also lucky that farting law isn’t enforced. Lol.
The last puddle I splashed through I almost drowned. :(
You’re a bigger person than I am. I would have killed my friend if she lost one of my books. They are by babies and not to be messed with!!
There were witnesses. :(
Excellent Top 10, Tori. I definitely needed the laughs. My house is full of visiting children, and okay, so I asked to have my nephews and niece visit, but did said visit have to begin 4 days after I had surgery? And why can’t Flyboy and I find someone crazy enough to take our kids for a week? Guess its a good thing I don’t live in FL. Kidding!
And you made me happy when you said you re-read until the books fall apart. Flyboy doesn’t understand why I keep having to buy various J.D. Robb books when I’ve read them a trillion times. Silly man.
Have a great holiday weekend. And quoting one of my favorite movies (who doesn’t love The Crow): It can’t rain all the time.
(((Hugs)))
I was Team Edward while I was reading the books but since watching the movies, I’m definitely Team Jacob now.
I hope it would be illegal ANYWHERE to sell your children!
And no farting after 6pm? Damn.
LOL @ that autocorrect failure!!
You say ‘selling children’ like it’s a bad thing. :P
OMG Tori, awesome Top Ten! I love, love , love autocorrectfail.org! That site cracks me up & I check it all the time. So funny!
And I agree with Paranormal Haven, you’re a much bigger person than me too! I may have had to hurt my friend if she told me to Chillax after losing one of my babies. Ugh, the nerve!!!
Glad you enjoyed. :)
that last one has me in stitches – SERIOUSLY awkward situation, lol.
Tell me about the rain… I left perfect, beautiful weather in Istanbul to come to this!! Today the first time I stepped out of the house I feel I was breathing water. Not nice.
I broke one of those laws without knowing and thankfully without consequences… I skydived from Homestead on a Sunday when I was single, I guess I’m lucky I didn’t get caught :)
We were in a draught until you told me you were coming to FL. 0_o
Lol, love those laws, and it seems I am breaking one. Well good that I live here then :)
If you need a research partner to help with tapping Jacob, give me a call.
Umm… wait.. that doesn’t sound right. Does it? LOL
Funny laws. I’ll be sure not to move to Florida when I’m pregger because if I can’t sell my kids what is the point of having any.
All the blinds in my house are also torn up because of my beloved dog. He hates going outside, but loves looking out the window. Weirdo.
Great top ten!

Those FL laws are hilarious!
Tori your post is flippin awesome! I needed a good laugh.
Yep – totally Roland. At first I thought it was the other witches but no… Roland! :)
Great post Tori, you sure made me laugh a lot. Perhaps your ex-friend just wanted to keep the book herself, and not give it back to you. Did you check if there are others missing on your shelf?
Looking forward to the new Dark Hunter and Dream Hunter books as well.
Nice job, Tori!! Love your Top 10. I am totally excited about 2 DH books this fall – but WHEN am I going to have time to read them?!
