10. Are you seeing the final Twilight movie? We’ve made each movie into a girl’s night out with a stop at a wine bar before and after to help us make it through the movie *wink* But I don’t know if I can gather the energy for this final one…
9. Linkin Fever, a fan facebook page for Karen Marie Moning books (and the band Linkin Park…hence their name), posted this picture as their vision of Lor (from Iced). WHY HELLO LOR! Come nod at me at Chester’s. Yes. Please.
8. Goodreads have started their voting for best book of 2012 in various categories. Romance nominees include Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley (TACK! I lurve him soooooo much), On Dublin Street by Samantha Young (thumbs up!), Bared to You by Sylvia Day, and then a bunch of books that kind of make me scratch my head and wonder who decided they belonged for best romance of the year. I wrote in a vote for A Lady by Midnight by Tessa Dare as my favorite romance so far this year.
7. Need more nominees for romance books? RT Book Reviews has just posted all of their 2012 Reviewer’s Choice Best Books. Go HERE for the full list. I’ll be going to the RT conference this coming May for the first time. Excited!
6. One of my favorite virgins is coming to the Starz network. Starz has closed a deal to develop a drama series based on Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. Read the full article here. How do we feel about this?
5. More book news – Jill Sorenson has released her cover for her January release – Aftershock. Stay tuned for a big giveaway of this book later this month.
Also Bella Andre has announced her release date for COME A LITTLE BIT CLOSER (Smith Sullivan) is December 4, 2012.
4. Jon Hamm and Daniel Radcliff in a bath tub together. (I demand Fan FIc immediately!) As this article states, it’s time to talk about this picture. What exactly is happening here? Apparently it’s a 4-part series called A Young Doctor’s Notebook. But who cares about the details! Let’s discuss the possibility of nakey time between these two. Could the camera pan up a little? *ahem*
In horrible news, Brie sent me a link this morning that Hamm’s girlfriend is going to make him wear underwear from now on. HOW DARE SHE. We no longer will get pictures like this, or this. OR THIS. (good lord Jon Hamm).
Let the peen swing free. It’s too big to be contained. The beast must be allowed to roam free.
3. Are you unsure how to download romance books onto your e-reader? No? Well pretend!!! And watch this video Samhain Publishing has produced for us. Watch it – “as many times as you want it.” *fans self*
2. Speaking of peens! (That’s a standard segue, yes?) Becks has a new H&M undies and clothing line out. And he made us a video. What’s the verdict? Do we like listening to him or no audio and just staring?
Also – hold onto your ovaries tight ladies….. click here.
1. It’s FRRIIIIDDDAAAAYY! What is everyone reading this weekend? I think I’m going to start Running Wild by Linda Howard. Have a great weekend!
Brie says
Free the Hammdong! And someone please introduce the Hammdong to the Fassdong. That is all.
Mandi says
*and Mandi spews her drink*
Also Mandi approves of this.
Tori says
Hamm’s girlfriend is obviously a very selfish and insecure woman. *sniff*
I MAY go see last twilight with friends or I may just wait for DVD as I always do.
Mandi says
How dare she deny us!
Lege Artis says
Oh, I saw that pic of Lor on KMM Facebook page…. Bring it on! Does he look like Jimi Hendrix fan to you…? Gah, who cares….
I want to defend Hamm’s right to run underwear-free! In immortal words of Ryodan : Underwear is too small and confining. Free Hamm!
Have a nice weekend!
Mandi says
LOL..that’s right. Ryodan and Hamm have a lot in common. :)
Amanda says
I just don’t think I could make it through this last Twilight movie. I saw a clip on Ellen and the acting seemed so off that I thought it was part of an Ellen skit at first.
I am not sure what to say about the travesty of injustice that Hamm’s girlfriend has brought to all womanhood this week. Was she never taught about how important sharing is?
I have been reading the Fever series for the first time and was hoping to read Faefever this weekend but cheapskate that I am I decided to buy it off the internet instead of buying it instantly through my Kindle. I saved 4 bucks but it has been a week and the book has yet to arrive. So not sure what I will read this weekend.
Mandi says
I’ll warn you that Faefever and Dreamfever both have cliffhanger endings, so you may need to immediately run to your kindle ;)
I saw a clip last night of the movie and it was pretty bad.
Jen says
Such an uncool move by Hamm’s gf. As if. At least we still have those pictures. That I might or might not click on at least once a day.
Mandi says
True. We will always have the pictures. *stares*
Selena says
I’m really down with some D.Radcliff / J.Hamm Man love! I would watch…a lot!!
I LOVE the Linkin Fever page. I’m on there all the time.
I’m really ok with the Outlander novels being made into a show. I love that series & think its about time they put them on screen. I fully expect it to piss me off sometimes because its so different from the novels (like True Blood does) but I’m excited to see a male virgin hero on screen :) And…IMO, there aren’t nearly enough men in kilts on TV!!!
Mandi says
Oh…kilts on tv. Virgins on TV. BRING IT! We can complain together when it doesn’t meet our expectations.
KT Grant says
GASP! You have to see Breaking Dawn pt 2!! I will be verily disappointed in you if you don’t.
Mandi says
You broke out the ‘verily’ You must mean business! :)
Amelia says
OMG that Samhain Publishing video is great! I wish we could get one for downloading from the library like that.
Also I’ve gotten used to Beck’s voice and I swear it’s gotten deeper since he started really making a name for himself in the US.
Mandi says
Isn’t that video cute? LOL
Spaz says
JON HAMM IS PACKING!!! He can’t keep that thing from busting out of his pants!
Mandi says
It’s pretty epic!
Sophia says
Ahhh wow. I love my new visual of Lor. I hope Ryodan orders Lor to guard me. :) Tap tap Lor is mine.
Mandi says
I’ll take Barrons and Ryo – you take Lor. For now. ;)
pamelia says
I can’t even bring myself to watch the second Twilight movie. K-Stew just ANNOYS THE EVER LOVIN F%$K OUTTA ME. Can’t do it. So, I will not be seeing the 2nd half of BD.
How dare Jon Hamm’s GF steal away such a glorious source of enjoyment for all us perverted peen-watchers! Can we sue? I don’t know if it could be a “class”-action suit, since …well… not so classy, but still!
Mandi says
I’m not a fan of K-Stew either. She is really a horrible actress. LOL. Why do I torture myself with these movies??
Angela says
That’s Lor? I may have to fight Sophia for him…
Mandi says
Uh oh…FV girls are getting feisty! ;)
Mary G says
OMG Mandi! I clicked on one of the Jon Hamm links & read the comments. They called him
“hammaconda” LOL. I just about spewed my iced tea!
Mandi says
They come up with the best nicknames. omg..I’m LOLing so much.
Kim T. says
The picture for Lor from the Linkin Fever page is a publicity still of Bollywood actor John Abraham from his film Force. He’s Indian from a Parsi background. He’s just gorgeous and his acting (which has improved over the years) is always overshadowed by his looks.
Bollywood hotties are where it’s at, ladies…there’s John, there’s Hrithik Roshan, Ajay Devgn, Imran Khan, Kunal Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Vikram…the list goes on and on. Plus Indian filmi romances are the best!
Mandi says
Oh cool! Thanks for the info!!
Angela James says
I want to lick Beckham’s abs. But I hate his facial hair. It’s bizarre.
blodeuedd says
I will watch Outlande for sure, and will see if it will be good or not
Patti (Loves FAB Romance) says
Love the picture of Lor *growls* Mine…
Super excited about the Outlander TV show – first question to hubs: Do we have Starz? If not we need to get it!!
And yes, I’ll be going to see BD – my SIL/BFF will be in town and since we saw the first movie at the movies together we’re going to see the last (awwww). Plus, I can always use my 11yo as my excuse for being there, lol.
BrooklynShoeBabe says
I <3 David Beckham. I've used up all of my Bend it Like Beckham puns so I'll spare you all. I don't mind him hearing him speak. I'm a sucker for a British accent. Yeah, lady boner going on right now.
