10. Seriously. The media has me convinced if I leave my house I’ll get the flu. My children get off the bus with their hot, sticky hands and I recoil in horror until I can properly bathe them in lysol and bleach. Am I overreacting? I THINK NOT
9. Nalini SIngh is giving away four copies of her upcoming anthology, Wild Invitation. It has four Psy-Changeling stories in it, two never before seen. You can read more about it HERE. Go HERE to enter the contest.
And remember January 31 she is revealing the cover and title for Psy-Changeling #12. It has to be Ghost/Kaleb, right? RIGHT? Need to be convinced? Read this.
8. Some book deals: Exclusively Yours by Shannon Stacey is free right now. Y’all…this is one of my favorite contemporary authors. Read her stuff. Kindle l Nook.
A few book deals: A bunch of Stephanie Laurens’s books are on sale for $.99 right now. Go HERE for the full list.
7. Smart Bitches wants us all to work out to romance books. This made me LOL a lot. They posted it on their Facebook Page earlier this week. We would all be in fabulous shape if we followed this, right? I would have to add – “Hero smells dark and of sandalwood” – how many heroes have smelled dark?? And what does dark smell like????
6. I haven’t watched yet (because I know once I start I’ll be sucked into the vortex of cuteness and won’t be able to escape) BUT sooooo many of my Twitter friends have been talking about the Lizzie Bennet Diaries this week. They are five minute videos (I think she is up to #80) and it’s a modern day retelling of Pride & Prejudice. I hear once you start watching, you will not be able to stop! You’ve been warned *wink*
5. RT has come out with their 13 most anticipated erotic romances for 2013. Included are Rush by Maya Banks – I have an arc of this one just need to gear myself up for the Billionaire hero. But I’m intrigued because half my GR friends didn’t love and other ones really liked. We shall see.
Also King Cobra by Jayne Rylon. I love the cover, but then I read the blurb and this sentence – “If the pair of mechanics can dodge the potholes in their own relationship, maybe they can race together toward the unconventional arrangement with Mustang Sally they both desire.”
The book will be better than that sentence,right? It has to be. LOL. Check out the rest of their list HERE.
4. Victor Garber – who I fell in love with when he was on Alias (one of the best shows Evah!) came out yesterday. Not only did he come out, but he has been dating the most gorgeous BEARDALICIOUS man!!! Oh Victor…
As Gawker says, he is dating the hottest guy in the world. “He looks like the dad from an ABC family drama, who’s a veterinarian and a widower, whose gruff demeanor is just a defense mechanism. He looks like the rugged sea captain from a Winslow Homer painting. He looks, to be honest, quite a bit like The Most Interesting Man in the World from those beer commercials.” Hahahaha. No really. He does.
3.
This made me LOL. It’s a five second movie - NSFW kind of. Look…it’s gingerbread cookie porn. I’m immature and it makes me laugh!
2. Glamour Magazine has come out with a list of hot men. Why? I don’t know (do we need a reason?) Anyway, the first person they feature is Matthew Crawley! Or in real life, Dan Stevens. I adore him on Downton Abbey. But I have to say, his look in Glamour with the leather coat and jeans is pretty hot too. Which look do we like better?
1. My beloved Ravens somehow beat the Denver Broncos last weekend in an EPIC game. This Sunday we have to face the Patriots…again. *sobs* Want to know how crazy the Ravens fans get during games? Take a peek above. I heard friends of this guy call into the radio and say this is really how he acts. Turn down the volume LOL. I don’t think he can take it.
Hope everyone has a fun and smexy weekend! If you read something good, let me know!
Amy J says
I can’t take it! All this news and smexy men on one post!
*throws self down on the ground* AHHHH
*stops* I can take it because I have XXX gingerbread cookies.
LMAO!
I needed this today.
Mandi says
LOLOL
Jen says
I think I am now going to have to watch all 80 of those Lizzie Bennet videos.
Not cool.
Mandi says
I know, I know. I warned you! :)
Jen says
I made it to episode 21 and will pick it back up now. I bookmarked this post. How sad is that?
Lege Artis says
I’m going crazy about Psy/Changeling #12… Since that evil blurb came up, it jumped on top spot for my most anticipated book of 2013.
Oh, yeah I can see Victor Garber’s boyfriend singing : “Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me…” Very handsome man.
Mandi says
Can’t wait for the next psy book!
Lexi says
Ahhahahha! Smelled dark and of sandalwood….that would fit in perfectly. And whenever I read that I DO wonder what that smells like!
Mandi says
I should keep a list of all the dark smelling heroes. It would be a big list.
blodeuedd says
I never fancied Matthew but in leather, rawr!!!!
Mandi says
I know right?? Well hello there.
Krista says
WOW Mr. BEARDALICIOUS!!!
Mandi says
Yes, this is how I feel. LOL
Brianna (The Book Vixen) says
The xxx gingerbread man cookie video was made of awesome!
Mandi says
It made me giggle for sure.
Helyce says
Super Top Ten! Thanks for the link to Jane’s recap-makes me want to do a Psy/Changeling re-read too. Um yea, I’m gonna have to read King Cobra for sure; and while I’m happy for your Ravens…that vid-I really have no words. Get a life dude! Matthew/Dan rocks it in the 20’s and he’s even hotter in the present! Lizzie Bennet is adorable-I managed to just watch the first vid…but it was difficult not to look for the next one.
Mandi says
I want to reread that series too..maybe we can do it together.
KT Grant says
Ahem Kaleb is mine. Remember that.
Mandi says
stop being so greedy!!! :P
KT Grant says
Also did you know that Victor is the godfather to one of Jen and Ben’s children?
Mandi says
Lucky Kid!
Krista says
Okay, I just watched 42 episodes of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. It started out a little cheesy, but now I am completely hooked!
Mandi says
Yay! This seems to be everyone’s reaction…
Kimh says
Great go. Niners, hRaugh bowl,whooo
Mandi says
I bet you are happy this morning! :)
Ava says
You need to start watching the Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Like, need! You will be sucked in, but you’ll thank it for sucking you in. I started watching and watched 20 episodes in one night. Finally made myself stop and go to bed, though I will admit to skipping ahead to get a peek at Bing and Darcy. Bing’s SO adorable :)
Mandi says
I will! I will!! :)
NTE says
I watched the entire 80 episodes of the LBD on Thursday. It is wicked good, funny and awkward and… just right.
Mandi says
Wow…I really need to sit down and watch it. Maybe tonight
Selena Mc says
I heart the ‘Romance Reader Workout’! My new screensaver!! GO RAVENS!
Mandi says
Yay Ravens! :)
Kerith says
If I was Victor Garber I would be gay too! Rainer is HOT!!! Now I wish I could get a sex change just so I can be gay and date him. Way to punt out of your coverage, way to go Victor.
Mandi says
“Way to punt out of your coverage” – hahahahaha. This makes me giggle
Amelia says
I love the Lizzie Bennett Diaries, you will get hooked!
Also, Dan Stevens, hot in person. He likes waffles with extra syrup.
Mandi says
My kind of man! ;)
Amelia says
Here’s a pic of our group sitting at the table next to Dan…don’t mind Connie, she was just the set up person.

At this time I am going to do my breakfast, later than having my breakfast coming yet again to read additional
