Smexy’s Top Ten–April 29th
10. My week – I have no idea what I did this week. I’m so boring it isn’t even funny. I meet my friends for lunch and they ask – what’s new? I just sit there with a little drool coming out the side of my mouth. What do I do? Read a little, tweet a little, scrub a toilet. That’s all I got people. But I do love me ;) 9. I’ve wanted to read a Samantha Kane book for quite some time now. I have her first Brothers In Arms book on my Kindle, but haven’t gotten to it Continue Reading

Recent DNF’s
A few recent books I couldn’t finish: Wickedly Charming by Kristine Grayson May 1, 2011 Wickedly Uncharming more like it. I read 170 pages of this book and was not charmed at all. The premise is cute – Meliie aka Snow White’s step-mother comes to the “real world” (from the Greater World) and wants to ban books. She is upset that the “evil” step-mothers and other creatures in fairytale lore get a bad rap. It is at a book fair where she is staging a protest she meets Prince Charming – Continue Reading

Review: Tangled Threads by Jennifer Estep
Tangled Threads by Jennifer Estep April 26, 2011 Urban Fantasy Paperback Pocket Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: “Who the hell are you?” I gave him a cold, hard smile. “The bitch who’s here to kill you.” The Elemental Assassin series hooked me with the first sentence in the first book, Spider’s Bite: My name is Gin, and I kill people. And I am happy to say, now that we are on to book four, this series is only getting better in my opinion. Much of Continue Reading
