10. My Week – Well, I saw Thor on Mother’s Day. Happy day to Smexy indeed. I went with the intent of drooling over Chris Hemsworth, but I actually ended up loving the movie (I drooled a lot too). A really fun story. And Thor’s blue eyes and scruffy smile didn’t hurt either ;) Later in the week, I found myself alone in Walmart in the toy aisle perusing the Thor merchandise. I might need a Thor action figure for a future skit. He will represent one of the BDB boys, right? 9. Thursday May 26th, Continue Reading
Mandi’s Little Rant About Hard Bitten
**Spoilers about Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill and the series in general** I’ve been contemplating why I didn’t like the end of Hard Bitten by Chloe Neill (book 4 in her Chicagoland Vampire series). I talked about it a bit in my review, but didn’t want to go into it too much before release date. Now the book has been out a week and I need to rant again. There is a huge cliffhanger at the end and it has really bothered me. For the most part I do like cliffhangers in most urban Continue Reading

Smexy’s Top Ten – December 3rd
10. You guys! I took the above picture! That’s right…I was about ten feet away from Brandon Flowers Saturday night in Atlantic City. Yes, I made hubs stand in line for five hours. No, I did not throw my unmentionables at him. No, I did not shout “You are a smexy beast.” Hubs was standing right next to me. It was an awesome show – even hubs, very begrudgingly said he liked it. The San Diego band Transfer opened for him and Hubs actually loved their stuff. It was good times. Hubs lost hard on the Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten–October 29th
10. My Week – When I woke up this morning, this is who was standing in my kitchen. I said to hubs, I love a hairy dude, but this might be overkill. His office has a big costume contest each Halloween, and since our six year old is going as Harry Potter, he decided to be Hagrid. I’m impressed because he bought his clothes from Goodwill and the beard and wig are from a viking costume. I think he stopped at the Starbucks like this…. 9. The Nook Color was unveiled this week. It looks really Continue Reading
Smexy’s Top Ten – September 17th
10. My week – Is it really already the middle of September? Well – my week…. The hot tub is still sitting in the driveway. That pretty much summarizes the past seven days. Not much has happened ;) 9. Months ago (maybe a year ago) K.C. from Smokin’ Hot Books started pimping out Enlightened by J.P Barnaby – a young adult m/m book. I read her review, and then bought the book immediately, but it sat on my Kindle, and got pushed way, way down list. Recently, I noticed J.P Barnaby on Twitter which Continue Reading

Twice Bitten by Chloe Neill (Chicagoland Vampire Book #3) Urban Fantasy July 6, 2010 Trade Paperback, 355 Pages NAL TradeWhy I read: One of my favorites series!!Favorite Quote: “On the other hand, they’re the ones creating this pec-tacle.” I slide her a glance, arching an eyebrow. “Pec-tacle?” ”You know, like spectacle” – she paused to point at her breasts - “but with more dude nipples.” The werewolves are in town and tensions are high. They are in Chicago for a Continue Reading
