Smexy’s Top Ten – February 20th

February 20, 2015 by Mandi 25 Comments

cup o books10. Take a sip of your cup o’books and enjoy your Friday. (link)

 

 

WHEN-A-SCOT-TIES-THE-KNOT-250x4049. It’s always a happy day when Tessa Dare reveals a new cover and blurb! And what an adorable blurb it is…

On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shyly pretty and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.

A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter … and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.

Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep—handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He’s wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters… and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.

Releasing this August.

 

theshadows8. JR Ward has announced the details for her book signing that correlates to The Shadows being released. Go to her Facebook for all the info. More importantly, tweet from the event so I can read all the details! Make sure you ask about her new BDB spin-off series coming out. I want the deets!! ;)

Side note: Remember the good ole’ days when Ward would do those huge online chats – and her mods would continuously kick people out for misbehaving and her server would crash and no one could ever log in and everyone would type/chat so much no one could read what Ward was typing. And then Ward would log in as Vishous or another brother – sucking a lollipop and smacking asses – and people would totally freak out? Man those were fun days.

 

future7. People have way more cooler iPhone cases than I ever will. Due to the fact I drop my iPhone literally 4 times a day – and due to the fact I have cracked my screen at least five times in the past (we won’t mention the time I dropped my iPhone into a pot of boiling spaghetti noodles. We will never mention this in front of the husband again). Not only is there a Batmobile iPhone case which looks amazeballs (and complicated and big) – there is now a Back to the Future, DeLorean iPhone case coming. Will it take my phone back to the future? Or into the past?  Phones? Where we are going, we don’t need phones.

6. I woke up to this, this morning. Aquaman was hovering over me with that smolder and guyliner and the moobs. Oh the moobs. Okay, maybe it was just his pic on my phone but hot damn Jason Momoa. Hot damn. Aquaman is part of the Batman Vs. Superman movie (the one where Ben Affleck plays Batman) coming out March 2016.

I don’t know anything about Aquaman -is he a cool superhero? Does he get all wet and nakey? Does he have a super power? Can I call him Wet Willy? Can he give me a wet willy?

5. Speaking of wet and nakey – David Gandy opened up his home for a few photographs for The Telegraph. Go HERE to see the article and pictures.

Did we know Gandy shops bargains? Just like real people??  And:

As we enter the house the photographer and I are encouraged to keep our shoes on, ‘to help scuff up the floor a bit’.

Keep your shoes on but take off your pants. Right?

 

 

pizzahut4. Pizza Hut in Australia came out with a limited edition nail polish set. “Meat me after Midnight” “Dough You Need Me?” Is Pizza Hut getting into the cosmetic industry now?? Will I be wearing Sparkly Sausage eyeshadow? Mushy Mushroom foundation? Sauce Me Up Lip Gloss? Link.

 

3. Your Friday cute!! Someone buy me Rollie immediately!

 

cookie2. My new favorite cracky TV show is Empire (on Fox). Cookie is my favorite. The series just started this January so you can catch up On Demand. It’s totally addictive.

1. Tonight I take my SIL to Fifty Shades of Grey. And then wine. This weekend I’m reading Dead Heat by Patricia Briggs. Looking forward to it!

    Tessa Dare writes a Scottish hero, sign me up.

    For a second I read SIL as son-in-law instead of sister-in-law and thought that would be one awkward movie going experience.

    Unite the Moobs!

    Can we all agree that Lisa Bonet deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award for having been married to both Lenny Kravitz AND Jason Mamoa. I have nothing but respect ;-)

    Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Dead Heat. Patricia Briggs is always a win for me and that series seems to keep getting better and better.

    Aquaman, according to my many comix-loving geekoid friends, in a word: “SUCKS” and there is a running gag on “The Big Bang Theory” which supports that assertion, but if you apply MOOBS to Aquaman, and get him out of the dorky orange and green fish-scale rags, maybe he can be awesome!!

    Ok, god was just showing off when he created Gandy- he’s not just ridiculously good looking and really nice and love puppies-he also has impeccable taste.
    Yay, for Aquaman, that was smart cast, Moobs= superhero material. :D

    New Dare! I am way to excited about this blurb.

    @Ashley – And Lisa & Lenny’s gorgeous daughter Zoe dated Michael Fassbender. So many beautiful people on one place, I can’t even.

    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Ashley – I always wondered that about Lisa Bonet, too. I’ll admit to my jealousy. :)

    Mandi – I totally agree about the crack-addictiveness of Empire. Such cheesy goodness!

    Oh Tessa Dare is just awesome, and that cover is so pretty. I do love my Scots. Jason Momoa is probably the reason I would go see the movie, ever since I saw him on Stargate, I fell in love with him, he is so badass and sexy as sin. Thanks for sharing these, made my day. Hope you and your SIL enjoy Fifty Shade, my sister and I are seeing that tonight. Have a great weekend.
