Fantasy Fridays & Friday Hops and TGIF!

Fantasy Fridays is a weekly meme created by your's truly :). If you missed the party yesterday, Happy Belated Cinco de Mayo. We've got a huge giveaway going on and there is still time to enter. Just click on one of my leftover Margarita's over in the right side bar, the one that was for display only letting you know that we were celebrating lol. Pour yourself a drink and be careful not to spill it, the alcohol abuse police will probably arrest you. Then when you're done over at Cindo de Mayo, come on back and enjoy some eye candy - the next best thing to a strip club HAHA! Don't forget about Follow Me Fridays below, and have a great weekend!

Book Pick of the Week:

Trapped in an abusive marriage, a woman escapes into the woods to find peace and happens upon her erotic salvation in the guise of a handsome forest dweller.

Short and sweet synopsis and hot hot cover :). Not to mention an awesome author who can write!

Q. Circle time! Time to share. What character in a book would you most like to be, what character in a book would you most like to date?

My Answer: I would so be Anita Blake from the Laurell K. Hamilton series as she is just so kick ass, minus all the sex she endures. The character I would date would so be Samson from the Scanguard Vampires Series by Tina Folsom.

Let's Link Up:

Until next time,

What a list huh? I love it and a special thank you to all the authors that donated! You all ROCK! I tossed this idea back and forth all day but finally came to a decision.

Thanks for understanding.

So how can you win?

Mandatory: Simply follow this blog and leave a comment with your email address. It is open Internationally with the exception for books in print for the giveaway so those are only open to US/Canada. This means you also need to state your country too.

823 Years - WOW

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME WE WILL SEE AND LIVE THIS EVENT

Calendar for July 2011

July

This year, July has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays. This happens
once every 823 years.

Wishing Wednesdays & Hops, Skips, and Jumps!

Wishing Wednesdays is a weekly meme created by Me letting you know books I cannot wait to read and why. If you would like to join me for this weekly feature, please grab the picture above and add your blog in a comment.

The exciting sequel to Immortalis Carpe Noctem.

Rule number one: humans and vampires don't co-exist. One is the hunter and one is the prey. Simple, right? Not for newly-turned vampire Alyssa. A surprise confrontation with Santino Vitale, the Acta Sanctorum's most fearsome hunter, sends her fleeing back to the world she once knew, and Fallon, the human friend she's missed more than anything. Now she has some explaining to do. However, that will have to wait. With the Acta Sanctorum hot on their heels, staying alive is more important than educating a human on the finer points of bloodlust.

I loved the first book in this series and I just want enough time in my life to start back into it. I can't wait to see Alyssa in this book and the trouble she encounters :).

Good news, Katie is going back on tour with Pandora's Box in July. If you haven't read the first two books yet, you can get them for a review by signing up clicking the banner for the Immortalis Series above. I can't wait for the blitz tour it's going to be so much fun!

Until next time,
