10. A stomach bug has rolled through our house for the past week. It hit everyone – my eldest son was the last to get it and hopefully by tomorrow it’s gone. GONE I SAY. The above will be me tonight. It’s all I have left.
9.Book Rec!! In the Middle of Somewhere by Roan Parrish. This is currently on sale for $.99 and I LOVED the blurb and then I mentioned it on Twitter and many rec’d it so I’ve started it. I’m about halfway through but feel confident enough to recommend it to y’all. Quick set up: One hero is a tattooed, very new college english professor from Philly, who gets his first job in nowhere Michigan. Accidentally hits a dog (dog is OKAY don’t worry!) and recluse second hero comes out of the woods to help him. This hero is huge, awkward (omg so awkward) wears flannel, (ADOPTS INJURED DOG) and lives in a log cabin. *bites lip* Great chemistry, so sexy, love them both. (If the second half sucks, sorry!! But I can’t imagine it will) A second book by this author is releasing soon. Kindle l Nook
8. Hey – so Sophia from Fiction Vixen and I put out a monthly newsletter. We have revamped it for 2016! Our new shiny letter will now release the first Tuesday of every month (so Tues 3/1 will be the next one) and it will be heavy on recommedations. Recs of the books we loved in the previous month. Audio book recs. Kindle Unlimited recs. Books that may turn into movies soon recs. Upcoming books we can’t wait to read. Our newsletter is called, How Many Licks Does It Take to Get to the Center of a Naughty Romance Novel (or hero) – OR just How Many Licks. You can sign up here.
7. They are remaking Dirty Dancing – which makes me kind of sad. The original Dirty Dancing is just…..sooooo goooooood. Do we really need to remake it?? They just cast Johnny.
I mean….maybe I’ll sneak a peek at the new show later this year. *wink* See more of Colt Prattes here.
6. Tom Hardy is in a new show on FX called, Taboo. At some point he walks around nakey apparently!! You can see the full trailer here. Looks…interesting.
5. OH HI JAMIE. Seriously, that man can look into a camera. My god.
4. VERY important question – Which Butt are you. Take the quiz here. I am an Orlando Bloom butt.
3. Painting your nails is SO 2015. 2016 – Year of the hairy nail. Yes, I have a beard obsession. Yes, I love a hairy chest. Maybe this is one way I can express my love of hair, on my own body. Could I glue curly hairy chest hair to my fingernails? No?
2. Sarina Bowen has a new book coming out with Berkley this September!! Rookie Move. I love this author’s voice – so excited for this one.
Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he’s called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides, first by the team’s coach—who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers’ sexy, icy publicist—his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington.
Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do—and saying hello again isn’t much easier. Georgia is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, but when a press conference microphone catches Leo declaring his feelings for her, things get really personal, really fast….

Sorry to hear the plague has hit your house, Mandi.
Thanks for the In The Middle of Somewhere rec. I’m due for a good M/M. New Sarina Bowen book? YES. Love her. And, apparently I’m a Chris Hemsworth butt gal. I’ll take that.
Mandi says
I approve of this butt ;)
Hayson Manning says
Just pop a straw into the wine cask, it cures all ills. I am a Will Smith butt. No arguments here.
Mandi says
I’m about ready to get the straw out! ;)
Sharlene Wegner says
Hope you all feel better soon! I just followed the link to In the Middle of Somewhere. I haven’t read this genre & thought it sounded like a good one to start with.
Mandi says
oooooh – hope you like. I have others that I think are good starters if you need them
Dani says
Mmmmm … I just got Joe Manganiello’s butt. Just what I needed for a Friday night!
Mandi says
I’m jealous you got his butt!
Selena Mc says
Lol! I was sent the leaked naked pics of Tom Hardy last week & shared them in my Book Group. Let’s just say, I hope he’s a grower! Still heart him though! ;)
I loved In The Middle Of Somewhere! I rec it to everyone (who reads M/M)!
Mandi says
He’s a grower not a shower!!
Hahahaha
lindsayb says
In The Middle of Somewhere stays awesome. I can’t wait for the second book! It’s up for pre-order and comes out in two days. I say just save time and get both ;)
Mandi says
Just finished book two and enjoyed as well
Kim says
Really? Am I really the only one who thought those nails were just wrong? My first thought was “how the hell am I going to the bathroom with these???”
EEEW!
Mandi says
This is a very good question. LOL
Kaetrin says
I got Gerard Butler’s butt. This is fitting. I have spent some time studying it, I practically have a degree.
Mandi says
I want to go to this school ;)
