10. Valentine’s Day?? No. Galentine’s Day. Girl power. Leslie Knope’s wisdom forever.
9. The Deal by Elle Kennedy, a brand spanking new series – featuring a hockey hero and his adorable heroine, hits kindles on 2/24 – it’s finally up for pre-order! It’s one of my favorite reads this year! Tori loved it too. You want this – trust me!! Goodreads l Kindle
8. Goodreads posted their Top 100 Romances with the criteria of – it had to have at least a 4-star rating and they didn’t include YA. If I counted correctly, I’ve read 29 of these. What does this mean??? Do I lose my romance card? See the list here.
7. With the excitement of the new Magic Mike 2 trailer that just released, this author has made a fabulous parody to reveal the cover of her new book. It makes me giggle. (Sweet Girl by Rachel Hollis)
6. Hold on to your pants!!! To celebrate Valentine’s day (or just life in general) Audible has made Classic Love Poems FREE annnnnnnnd Richard Armitage is narrating.
(welp – there goes my pants)
Just take a listen…..
Go get your ear-gasm here.5. For those going to Fifty Shades of Grey this weekend, you will get to see the new Outlander trailer for the upcoming season (April 4th) on the big screen. Narrated by Mr. Fraser. *swoon* Or you can just watch it right now..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn5XVBBxEUQFirst Richard Armitage wooing us with love poems and now Jamie Fraser will be narrating the second half of season 1???? My girl parts can’t handle this.
4. New Instagram account alert! Hot Dudes Reading. There is not much more sexy than that.
3. Anyone giving their significant other a meat bouquet for Valentine’s Day? (Is that what that is??) I’m scared.
Okay fine, how about this..
If only I had more creativity! I’m giving my husband a bottle of wine and Indian takeout food for V-day. If that doesn’t say romance…..(I don’t have to cook, so that IS romance).
2. Last weekend I made Bacon-Wrapped Tater Tot Bombs and OMG. They were greasy, cheesy, bacony deliciousness! I prepared them hours in advance which was nice and easy. Recipe. Go get yourself some.
1. Happy Friday! It’s about zero degrees here. I might need to eat those tater tot bombs again just to keep me warm. Have a fun weekend – if you see Fifty Shades of Grey tweet me and let me know what you think. I’m going next Friday with some girlfriends.
Those bacon tater tots look amazing. I want, but I’m on a diet :-(
-We shall not talk about my GR romance list result. -_-
-Richard Armitage, dear god… I bet my result would be higher if Richard is narrating all those romance books.
-Mandi, I admire your skill of successfully combining your kinks and posting a picture of hot & bearded dude reading.
– A meat bouquet ? Am I the only one who had Lady Gaga flashbacks?
Happy Friday and I hope everyone has a great weekend! :)
I am seeing 50 Shades w/ friends on Tues. Love it or hate it, I think what’s great about this movie is that it’s giving all of us a chance to hang out with our gals pals. I love seeing friends’ posts on FB about how much they had seeing the movie & being surrounded with their besties.
You have me beat I have only read 22 of the 100 books on the GR list, I am a slacker.
I am looking forward to The Deal. I haven’t yet read anything by Elle Kennedy but this sounds right up my ally.
I am not a huge poetry fan but Richard Armitage could read stock market updates and I would be interested
I’ve read 41 of the top 100 Goodreads books, but a fair few of those 41 were NOT favorites of mine, so …
You said “The Deal” is the start of a series. Does the book wrap things up or is it cliffhangery? I’m thinking I want to read it because of hockey, but I’m leery of it because of the NA aspect, but if it’s a cliffhanger then it would be no go for me.
I’m making the bacon wrapped tater tots.
Meat bouquet? Lol. I give it an emphatic eww, but my husband would literally eat that thing right up! Me? I’m adding The Deal to my TBR. Reading Elle Kennedy’s One Night of Sin right now and loving it! Plus, hockey player!!! *sigh*
Ear-gasm and how! I had to stop the recording uh… a few times for squealing and full body shivers. Great top 10! Happy Galentine’s Day!
I want tater tots!
I saw 50 Shades and I liked it!!!! It’s been 3 years since I read the books so I might just have to revisit. Maybe only up to the end of Book 2 though cos Book 3 was totally crap….
I listened to the Richard Armitage clip after coming across it on Buzzfeed and downloaded the whole book immediately – that last line of e e cummings – un petit mort ;)
