10. Yeah Yeah Yeah – May the Fourth Be With You – but next year it’s going to be all about The Firth!!
9. A cute video from Julie James that talks about her inspirations for her books and why she writes romance. Goodreads is also giving away 100 copies of Something About You, the first book in her FBI series.
8. This is pretty much everything I want on Mother’s Day. Even the 1% lumberjack sliver thrown in there! Actually give me 20% Lumberjack – I don’t need sleep.

7. Thor in his undies??? Can we nail down where his mighty hammer is hiding?
6. The new Magic Mike 2 Trailer if you haven’t seen it. Heck, if you’ve seen it, watch it again just for Joe M molesting the soda machine. Why do I love that so much??? #ComeAgain “I’d say it’s still your day ma’am” #COMEAGAIN
5. There has been A LOT of talk this week that mens’ beards are full of poop. EVERY news organization reported about it. *strokes a random beard* Let’s all calm down. SIMMER DOWN Y’ALL. These bastards are telling us that beards contain as much fecal matter as a toilet. *clutches pearls* Snopes has come out and said it’s NOT a true report. So stop where you are. Put down your razor. Give your beard a little stroke. And continue with your day.
4. The bastards at Fox have canceled my beloved Mindy Project. I hear HULU might pick it up for another season, but damn it. Parks and Rec ended and I was clinging to Mindy for my sitcom fix. *STOMPS FEET*
The one scene I remember making me laugh so damn hard was when Morgan wrapped Mindy in a pizza box. I don’t even remember why – I think Mindy was drunk and sad about something. But I could not stop laughing. <3 you Mindy and cast!
3. Tori thinks I need this. I think she just wants to get me drunk! I’m going to be so sober with her at RT. For sure. *wink* (Link)
2. A year or two ago, I discovered a very silly meme that became a favorite. Maybe you won’t find it as funny, but I giggle every time I watch it. It’s – Ryan Gosling Won’t Eat His Cereal Meme. The creator passed away this week, and Ryan Gosling filmed a brief video of him eating cereal in tribute, which I thought was really nice.
1. I received a copy of The Bourbon Kings by JR Ward in the mail yesterday (it was a surprise to me!). So of course I started it. This is a new contemporary series set in Kentucky featuring a wealthy bourbon-making family. As I write this (on Thursday) I’m on page 120 and it’s pretty good so far. Lots of storylines, but they all intermingle. And the hero is currently begging his former flame (the heroine) to love him again. And she is not having it. I like that part. It’s very soap-operay. Which so far is a good/fun thing. We’ll see how it plays out! (releases 7/28) Have a great weekend. Tori and I will be reporting from Dallas/RT next week!

OMG! Have you seen where those pictures of Chris Hemsworth come from? He’s in the new Vacation movie and the redband trailer — Holy crap. Yep, it truly deserved it’s red band!
Deb says
For some reason I’m having visions of Bourbon Kings being like a Nora Roberts series. Not that that’s a bad thing. Just so different from BDB.
Have fun at RT, Mandi & Tori!

Fox tends to drive me crazy…every time I like one of their tv shows…they tend to get rid of it. and oh what a great picture of Thor…mmmm yummy!! Hope you have a great Mothers day and get everything on that list :)

I loved the Julie James interview! I find it interesting to hear what the authors sound like after seeing them on FB & blog interviews.
Jackie says
As I’m a native Kentuckian I know a little sumpin’ sumpin’ about bourbon. I’m hoping she doesn’t schmaltz up this new series. I’m kinda upset with the direction BDB is taking…she better fix it. *mean face*
bookster says
Did you ever give your review of the bourbon kings? I can’t find it.
Mandi says
I didn’t – I forgot and then just decided to let it go. In short, I wasn’t a fan. I think Tori liked it a lot more than me. It was too – cheesy drama/mean characters/not enough romance.
