10. I honestly had to force myself to stop playing Candy Crush – it was all I was doing. Book reading? Making dinner? No – candy crushing. So I stopped in the mid-200’s. *starts sweating and shaking* While I’m keeping my distance, I did find this interview with the creator really interesting – so crazy how viral this game is. The game itself brings in $633,000 a DAY. Why can’t my computer husband do something like this? *wink*
Do I need those Candy Crush leggings for Christmas??? OR – do I need this Oprah sweater? TOUGH CALL.
9. RT Book Reviews has come out with their list of 2013 Best Book Nominees. I see a lot on this list I like. I also noticed I haven’t read about half of their “RT Book of the Year” noms…which I think I might have to go back and read some. Especially Anne Bishop’s Written in Red. Anyway – lots of goodies, take a look.
8. Need more ‘best of lists?’ – All About Romance has come out with the results of their Top 100 Romances Poll – Top three – Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase, Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas, Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.The first 14 are historicals. INTERESTING. (also so happy to see Joanna Bourne on this list – her books are amazing).
7. Oh hey – the Fifty Shades of Grey has been pushed back to Valentine’s Day 2015. Does anyone even care at this point? This is like the most hyped-up nonexistent movie ever. BUT – just to keep the squeeing going – some pictures of our future Christian and Ana have been released. Ana is all “I’m so innocent but that tie in his hand…tie me up baby” Look at the other photos here. I think Christian will have that permanent crease between his eyebrows. (Totally admitting that Jamie Dornan is hot. There I said it. He is even hot clean shaven. Don’t tell anyone I said that!!!)
6. Justin Timberlake graces the cover of GQ’s Men of the Year edition. Is he your man of the year? I like JT – he entertains me greatly. For the other men featured, go here.
5. So Scandal last night was very WTF for me. I wasn’t happy with what happened to Mellie and how she took it. And then there was just a lot of other stuff that we learned. What’s going on Scandal???? I’m worried now.
In happier news, here are 24 reasons Olivia and Fitz are the hottest couple on TV. And yes Fitz haters – he is a hottie. *wink*
(Harry – I have a place on my body for you to warm your hands)
4. You guys! Prince Harry and Alexander Skarsgaard (and other people probably) are training for a 200 mile trek to the South Pole for charity. Is that sexy or what?!
“Their journey through freezing temperatures as low as -45C across icy terrain in 50mph winds will begin on November 30, with the teams hoping to reach geographic South Pole by December 16.”
OMG. Why are we not at the South Pole to warm them up when they get there???
Go HERE to see pics of both of them training.
3. Can we all just take a moment to admire the tongue action. Wait for it – it will come out again. And again…
I’m slowly making my way through season 5 (previous season) of Sons of Anarchy. Damn it I love this show!!! At heart I’m a Tigs fan (god he is so dirty and it feels wrong but I have to go with it!) But Jax – yes sir. Here are 31 reasons he is pretty perfect.
2.YAY I’m a stick!! Someone in my timeline this week tweeted this picture of a stick that looks damn happy. Which made me damn happy. There is a twitter account called, Faces in Things – and it’s cute. I now will be keeping an eye out for faces everywhere!
1. You know what is really good about this Friday? The fact that soccer season ended last week so I don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn to go freeze on the soccer fields! It’s the little things y’all. There has been much buzz on Twitter about this motorcycle club book, Move the Sun by Susan Fanetti. I’m only on chapter two so I can’t comment yet, but I hope it’s good! I’ll let you know next week. (I borrowed it for free with my Prime membership)

Move The Sun-LOVE
I want a happy stick. And the Oprah sweater. I will wear it to school functions. :P
I have never played Candy Crush. I feel like a failure.
Amanda says
I have read 8 of the the top 10 books in that top 100 poll. I am missing Outlander and Slightly Dangerous
Last night on the news they showed Harry introducing the Queen to some of the wounded soldiers going on the trip. I think it was the most at ease I have ever seen the Queen.
Marquetta says
OMG that tongue. I want it to do things…to me.
Glad you’re enjoying season 5!
Sophia (FV) says
You need the leggings AND the Oprah shirt. NEED!!!! And an afro circus wig!! omg.
Selena Mc says
I never played Candy Crush. It just didn’t seem fun to me. Plus I saw everyone going crazy over it & it turned me off. I’m like the only person i know who doesn’t play. Lol I’m glad you beat your addiction ;)
Saira says
I just started playing Candy Crush…I should stop playing before the addiction phase kicks in like it did with Angry Birds And LOL at the Oprah sweater…it’s creepy and fantastic :) I needs it!!
Melissa says
Not touching Candy Crush with a 10 foot poll. I managed to avoid Angry Birds too. You know, I haven’t been much of a gamer since Space Invaders. *old*
Damnit! I’ve already borrowed a book this month from Amazon. Ah well, now I know I’m borrowing for December.
Stephanie G (Paranormal Haven) says
I tried getting into Candy Crush but it just didn’t stick. Probably because it took my 8yr old niece a few minutes to beat my high score. One can not come back from a defeat like that.

Best stick ever
aurian says
I quit Candy Crush when I was stuck for too long, now I need to quit my addiction to Bejeweled Blitz. It is hard, it is fun, and they keep trying to lure me back.
I love that little stick person!
