Thank you Jaci Burton for making my day, again!!

Just received from Jaci Burton's publisher (I assume) because the eBook did not include the cover. And it's a hot one!!

Wooza, what a tasty surprise!!  By far my most favorite cover.  I think it's the football!  Check out my review of The Perfect Play and Changing the Game is coming soon!!

Get busy now or get busy later?

I waited all book for that?!?

It is so hard to say whether I prefer a fast coupling or a sound storyline.  I guess the one thing I can qualify is that if the plot sucks I will be disappointed if the nookie is non-exsistant!  If the story is wonderful, it doesn't really matter.  The book The Darkest Hour it took a little bit of time to get to "the good stuff", especially for the author, but the story is so heartfelt and engaging that I did not even noticed.  If I relate to the  characters, sympathize with their dilemmas, and feel the love between them then sex is not necessary.  It is a gigantically great bonus if they are getting busy, don't get me wrong!  Throw in some dirty talk and you've got yourselves a 5 Floozies book!!

What do you think romance readers out there?
Is timing crucial and if so, what blows your skirt up?

Priorities of a 3 Year Old!!

A Kid's gotta have priorities and this one's clothes!

I'm too BUSY for my clothes!

My kids, like many kids, love their gaming systems.  They are so popular in my house that it got to the point where they were on some electronic devices all the time.  They'd switch from Wii to DS to PBSkids.org and cycle back through!  Sometimes I would not even realize that my daughter had finished her homework and cracked open her DS till I heard her brother getting mad cause he wanted to play.   I admit it, I was busy with house work . . .  bwahaha, no, I was busy reading or blogging!

So, mom implement a new rule: Tuesday, Thursdays, and the weekends the kids can play their gaming systems, aka "Game Days."


Every morning, very shortly after we exchange morning love, hugs, and kisses, they ask, "Is today a Game Day?"


Well, today is and this guy was so excited to play Super Mario Brothers that he forgo clothes.  I don't mind, he's just so darn cute doing his 'game dance' (a series of spastics movements that closely mirror Mario as he navigates through the game).


What will NOT be cute is the crying and whining because "Mario keeps dying!!!"  That I can do without!

Kindle killed the Paperback Star!

Hell Has Frozen Over For Me Folks!

I swore that I would not get a stupid, new-fandangeled eBook reader.  Kindle could kiss my ass, Nook could lick his-- well, you get the idea.

Leave it to uber-everything Oprah to introduce the world to a generational phenomena!  Kindle, introduced in 2007, took the world by storm.  But not me damn it!  I loved the crack of a spine, the tactile page turning adventure of hard/paper covers.  The damn-it-I'm-finished-and-Border's-is-closed-what-the-hell-am-I-gonna-do-now feeling.  That helpless, asthmatic, coronary fit of not having the next book in a series.  What was my mom supposed to do in the '80 and '90?  Wait till the god damn book store open, that's what bitches!!

But, a la Darwin, books evolve!  And . . . here we are Kindle!  What the is Kindle anyway?

It's less then admirable flammable material!

WHAT!  Please do not burn my $200+ investment, please!  haha!

I was duped into the ebook world because the books I wanted to read were far cheaper as Kindle editions on Amazon then hard print at Barnes & Noble.  $15 compared to $5?  Yeah, a book addict is so going with the cheaper, it's like box vs. bottle to a wino!  I had a plethora of Mac products and downloaded the Kindle app appropriately!

My first "Ah Ha!" (a la Oprah) moment was the intermingling aspect.  I could read on my desktop then leave to drop my kids off and pick up at the same spot on my phone, all while  was in line with those crazy mini-van drivers!  AWESOME!!!!  Especially for someone who repeatedly forgot her paperback at home!

Months go by with my Mac/iPhone bliss, then I start getting headaches. I have to take repetitive naps during the day, and dinner does not get on the table on time . . . THE HORROR!!  What is wrong?  OMG it's a tumor! No, I figured it was the small screen of my phone (my primary reading platform).  So what's the next resonable step for a Mac user?  An iPad, right?  The "Red Rider BB-gun" of tablet/ebook devices.  I want one of those!  "You'll shoot your eye out!" $700 price tag later . . . ok, maybe I can wait for tax season!

What it came down to was:

 - I could NOT read another book on my phone, period!!

 - I want the 3G iPad and that's uber expense

 - Best buy had a special on Kindle covers aka kindle swag :D

I came to necessary, but responsible (bummer), conclusion.  The average person, Mac fiend or not, can not afford a $500+ device when the main purpose is to read books and their competitor's decive is not only cheaper but the price per book is cheaper too!

I got my Kindle that day and it was near orgasmic!  eInk can stay on forever and not burn your screen out.  Plus the browsing/Text-to-Speak/price/facebook connect/. . .  So many things I did not even know! I found a great site for Kindle Tips & Tricks that made me say "WTF" a dozen times!!

I so happy I made the move. Kindle has killed print for me!!!

I'll be right there, Honey!!

I was serching ShabbyBlogs.com for the first time (OMG, such great stuff!) and talking to my husband about what we were going to have for dinner and what did I stumble upon? This:

So totally true!

HaHa!  Thanks ShabbyBlogs.com, you guys made my day, my husband . . . not so much!  :D

It's TWO words!! 1. Fairy 2. Tale

Duh!!  Ok, so I just thought my spell check was cracked out cause it kept kicking back fairytale and not giving me any suggestions. (What do I rely on you so much for, spell checker?)  But now I know it's two words, what a moron!  Ok, so how many times have I had to write fairy tale?  Not a lot since this blog, but I know now so I will fix everything.  Sorry to all the teachers out there, I will do better, I promise!!

Let's Do It . . . Wild Thang!

My first blog, my first post!  Super excited!  I wanna use this blog as a outlet for my thoughts and reviews mostly about books, but who knows, I will probably throw something else in the mix too.  Now, I’ve gonna and done it.  I started a blog about books.  My husband’s gonna love this one.  Not only do I prefer couch time and a romance novel to pushing a broom and folding clothes, now I’m gonna to blog about them.  Well, what are you gonna do?
