10. Thor with his naughty brother and big hammer are joining us for the Top Ten today. Thanks Bells
9. I am on full-time JR Ward stalking. She announced early this week that she has a cover and title for Qhuy’s book (out spring 2013) and that she will be posting it to her Facebook Page “soon.” How dare she tease us like that?! What color will the cover be? There has to be two men on there, right? What will the title be? Lover of All Peens? Lover Bend Over? No?
P.S.There is a ‘FuckYeahQhuay Tumblr! I’m in love. There are quotes, and Qhuay pics and hot men. Whoever writes this, I like.
P.P.S I won’t be home all day Friday, so if she announces cover/title, then this blurb is obviously out-dated. She’ll wait for me to get home, right?
8. Jeaniene Frost is having a Goodreads Chat, tonight from 7-9pm EST to talk about her upcoming release, Once Burned. Go HERE for more information and to submit questions. I think I might have to attend!
7. Tessa Dare, Leigh LaValle, Courtney Milan and Carey Baldwin have colloborated in an new anthology, Three Weddings and a Murder. All proceeds go to Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. It is $2.99 on Kindle.
6. Sylvia Day has announced that Penguin will now be publishing Bared to You, as well as the next two books in the trilogy. Bared to You features a very tormented and rich hero, Gideon Cross (Oh I like him) and a heroine who has issues of her own. It is a Fifty-Shades-ish type book. I liked book one. (Thanks to H&H for the heads up)
5. Speaking of Fifty Shades, Andrew Shaffer has released the cover for his new parody, Fifty Shames of Earl Grey. The blurb:
Young, arrogant, tycoon Earl Grey seduces the naïve coed Anna Steal with his overpowering good looks and staggering amounts of money, but will she be able to get past his fifty shames, including shopping at Walmart on Saturdays, bondage with handcuffs, and his love of BDSM (Bards, Dragons, Sorcery, and Magick)? Or will his dark secrets and constant smirking drive her over the edge?
Giggle. Snort. I believe this is due out in early July.
4. I’m a huge fan of the Walking Dead. Season 3 has just started shooting. Remember the freaky way Season 2 ended, with that character that had the zombie pets? Her name is Michonne, a “sword swinging badass“. We will also meet The Governor and see the Prison. Oh my. I’m ready. (
P.S. Much of season two was lame. But at least they finally left the freaking farm!
P.P.S How adorable is Andrew Lincoln’s accent?
3. The CW Network has a new show coming this fall called Arrow. Watch the preview. Around the 45 second mark when he starts doing pull-ups I decided this is a must-see. *grins* Plus I love a guy with a bow and arrow (Hawkeye in the Avengers is m favorite!)
2. For some time now, I’ve had an obsession with Pitbull. I can’t help myself. I want him to record a romance audiobook. Yes.
And now, he is featured in Jennifer Lopez’s song, Dance Again, where in the background you can hear him whisper – ‘Yeah, make love to me.’ I think every song would benefit from Pit whispering this in the background.
Also, while googling trying to find this video, I found an older performance of him and Jennifer Lopez.
Oh Pit. His package really steals the show.
I don’t even know what to say. LOL
2A. Bonus #2. I saw this tweeted this morning and it screamed Top Ten. Every year the Naval Academy freshman climb a monument covered in lard half naked. Thank you Sarah from Smart Bitches for the tweet. For A LOT more pics, click HERE.
1. Well, now that we’ve all gotten way too intimate with Pitbull, it’s time to say goodbye. Have a great Memorial Day weekend. Eat lots of burgers and corn on the cob. I will be having vodka soaked gummi bears at our BBQ party. Recipe here. I’m excited. Happy Friday!
Brie says
Ha! I totally knew about vodka gummy bears, why? Because I come from the school of Skittles vodka… But don’t worry, I use Grey Goose to keep it classy ;)
Mandi says
Skittles Vodka?? WHAT IS THIS CRAZY TALK?
Tori says
I LOVE drunk gummi bears. We use Grand Marnier ’cause we ARE all that. lol
Oh Pitbull and Pitbull’s package. *happy sigh* But seriously…wtf is JLo wearing???
Mandi says
JLO who? LOL.
Why have I never had drunk gummi bears? You have been holding out on me!
Tori says
OMG…this is your first drunk gummi bear? I expect a review and pics.
Mandi says
I’ll be texting you! LOL
Jen at Red Hot Books says

Daaammmn Pitbull… He can’t keep himself in check. lol
Mandi says
He is out of control! LOL
Lege Artis says
Vodka soaked gummi bears – Perfect! And Ty would love these…. ;-)
Hmmm, how about Lover Aligned…?
Mandi says
Good title. And Ty would totally love these. LOL
Dawn Roberto says
Wow I never heard of gummie bears like that before. *grins* I think that may be something to take to my family picnic Monday.
Oh my I am eager to see what Ms. Ward says on this one *nervous laughter* I just hope the cover is ‘da’bomb
Mandi says
She says the cover is the best yet *bites nails*
Jennifer says
Ummm… that picture of Pit is so awesome. Can we just crop out JLo? LOL! I cannot WAIT for Quinn and Blay!
Mandi says
I know – why does JLO have to be there? Sigh. ;)
Dying for Qhuay ;)
Artemis says
I need to find that Tumblr page! Great Top Ten. Have a fun weekend!
Mandi says
It’s a fun tumblr.
Jessica says
Thank you for sharing your obsession with Pitbull. Now I know I am not alone.
Mandi says
LOL. You are definitely not alone. ;)
tellulahdarling says
Is Qhuay going to be a full on novel? Not some novella tease? (she asks, pathetically anxious…)
Mandi says
Full novel in hardcover! Spring 2013
tellulahdarling says
So happy my husband can’t see my joy at that news…
Mandi says
We can all squeee here together online. LOL. Quietly. ;)
Shiloh Walker says
Arrow looks cool, but I fear watching TV shows. they always get cancelled.
Also… can i soak another kind of candy? I hate gummy bears. hmmm
Mandi says
The first commenter said she made Skittles Vodka – I’m intrigued.
Jane says
I’m excited about Arrow, too. I hope it does well on the CW. Iron Man 3 just started filming and next they’ll do Thor 2 which should be awesome.
Mandi says
Oh! I need to see both of those movies. I loved the first Thor.
Lexi says
Amazing top 10! Start out with Thor (yummy) and end with gummy bears (delicious), oh and the Naval Academy inbetween was an awesome surprise!
Mandi says
Who doesn’t love some Naval Academy boys in-between? ;)
Jennifer Estep says
Arrow looks cool. I’m already looking forward to all the Marvel superhero movies in the works.
Mandi says
I’m excited!
Kaetrin says
I’ve not heard of Pitbull before, but now I feel I know him better than most men of my acquaintance!
Mandi says
hahaha
Sandy says
Oh wow, I didn’t know you were a fan of Pitbull lol.
And I DID NOT KNOW Sylvia Day released a new book! Haven’t read her books in a while. She’s good.
Mandi says
I hope you like Bared to You!
Pitbull is my dirty secret. Don’t tell anyone ;)
bookster says
Qhuay and Pitbull in the same top ten woooooooooo!!! ;)
Mandi says
They are pretty awesome together ;)
Catherine says
OMG, I can’t stop laughing. The Fifty Shades of Earl Grey cover is busting The Shocker! Ha!
Catherine says
Busting out The Shocker. *sigh* Catherine, you fail.
Mandi says
LOL…We get what you are saying. It is a fab cover. I hope the story is just as good
