10. The official holiday is called – Hallowine. Drink accordingly. (Liqu-or-Treat!)
9. Speaking of drinking….JR Ward has a new contemporary series coming out called The Bourbon Kings (I think series and first have same title?) This is the cover. I don’t think we have a blurb yet – but I did receive a press announcement. Included:
Ward said: “The Bourbon Kings are just like my Black Dagger Brotherhood vampires, flawed heroes for strong women who live and love in a vivid, ever-changing world of passion and excitement. Readers can expect the same big emotions, epic storylines, and soul-deep love stories in these books—as well as those signature, OMG, I have to know what happens NEXT! kind of endings.”
And
The Bourbon Kings series will follow the Bradfords, those who work for them on their estate, Easterly, and several other wealthy Southern families involved in Kentucky’s bourbon industry
What do we think? (Y’all – I just want Butch and Vishous to have sex. Is that too much to ask?) – releases in the summer.
8. Smexy Books is official. An #OfficialFifty blog. What does that mean? We honestly have no idea, but we are partnering up with Universal Pictures to bring you contests, exclusive contests and other stuff leading up to the February release of Fifty Shades of Gray. They are being secretive with what promo opportunities we will have. I’m hoping to bring you some naked Jamie Dornan butt. I think that is
7. Benedict Cumberbatch describes how Sherlock would please a woman. I think his Sherlock character is so sexy – and just wait until you hear what he says…
“And then I would be devastating,” said Cumberbatch. “I’d know exactly how to please a woman, I’d know exactly where to put my fingers, where to put my tongue, where to put my — his, I should say — his fingers, his tongue. Think about violinists, think about what they can do with their fingers.”

6. First I love the shape of this skirt. But even better, you can customize it with any text you want.
Text skirts let you show off your love of books. The skirt’s fabric design will include a segment from the book of your choice. I have a bunch of books to choose from, but I also take custom orders. If there’s a book you would like made into a skirt, just message me. Custom books cost an additional $10 to cover the time it takes me to design the fabric.
Isn’t that the cutest idea? What book would I wear???? So many options! I really want to do this but I need to put serious thought into my text. What book would you choose? (LINK)
5. A new picture of Jamie and Claire surfaced – and yes they are always Jamie and Claire – there is no real life. Please put your kilt back on soon Jamie!! Or take off all your clothes – really your choice.
2.Selfie with a Goat. This is what my life has come to. I’m obsessed with my goats. I’m going to incorporate them into our family Christmas picture somehow. Stay tuned. (try not to be too excited)
1. I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween! This year my boys are a zombie monkey and an old woman. The lips on the old woman’s mask moves when my son talks and it freaks me out. LOL.
On the recomendation of many, I’m reading Master of Crows by Grace Draven. I’m only a couple chapters in but enjoying.

Isn’t Butch and V doing the deed all that any of us want? I’m sure I’ve thought about it 1,000 times.
Mandi says
LOL – if Ward truly loved us she’d write the scene!
Eileen says
I don’t comment often here, but I do always enjoy reading your top ten lists. As a huge Benedict Cumberbatch fan, I can’t thank you enough for that link!
Sharlene Wegner says
Great costumes on your kids! Also, that Benedict Cumberbatch interview is something! I’ve never seen that show & never thought he was that great looking, but I like how he thinks!
Mandi says
Cumberbatch as Sherlock is……sexy. I never understood it until I started watching it.
