10. Let me just point out – I was gone from Tuesday morning to Sunday morning for RT. When I arrived home, I had a broken oven and two toilets that wouldn’t flush. The children and the pets were still alive. But my god – what took place inside my house for five days? I had to get a new oven delivered yesterday!!

8. Someone came out with a map of the most popular book in each state. Click here to see it bigger. I don’t see romance represented on this map – except for Montana. Go Montana!! I demand a romance map next time. (link)

 

7. Alisha Rai has a new book coming out! I love this author’s voice. Here is a list of reviews we’ve done of her work. Her most recent, A Gentleman in the Street is a really well done book.

     6. Who has seen Mad Max? I’m hearing really good things! Plus I love this meme. Plus  I have dirty thoughts about Tom Hardy. And I have dirty thoughts about   Charlize Theron. #JustSayin

 

5. A few weeks ago I went to the Oriole’s game with my brother and sister in law. We had a few beers, and when YMCA song came on, I started waving my arms around doing the letters, as you do at a baseball game. During this, I spilled the LITTLE bit I had left in my beer on the person in front of me. She was not happy. I felt shamed and had to move seats. LOL. So when the above clip came out, my brother had to make sure I saw it – I’m not alone!! I feel bonded with this lovely lady. Beer spillers unite!

 

4. I’ve mentioned in the Top Ten before about the stud Neville Longbottom has become. I mean – DAMN boy. If you want an even better look at Mr. Longbottom, click here – warning – tightey whitey picture. Mr. Long-Dong-Bottom if you know what I’m sayin.

 

3. If you have time today, there is a thread on Reddit that is a lot of fun to read. Someone posed the question, What’s the Most Beautiful Sentence or Paragraph You’ve Ever Read? Some of the responses are really beautiful. There are a lot of love and romance quotes.

“Maybe…you’ll fall in love with me all over again.”

“Hell,” I said, “I love you enough now. What do you want to do? Ruin me?”

“Yes. I want to ruin you.”

“Good,” I said. “That’s what I want too.”

Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms

“What day is it?”

“It’s today”, squeaked Piglet.

“My favorite day”, said Pooh.

 

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “Pooh?” he whispered.

“Yes, Piglet?”

“Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s hand.

“I just wanted to be sure of you.”

A.A. Milne

Damn it Piglet and Pooh. Just damn it.

1. Three day weekend! Woot! We have a BBQ to go to and the kids want to go to the movies. I think we can handle it. This weekend I’m reading The Orphan Pearl by Erin Satie. I really enjoyed her previous book.
