Randomness

How does time slip away so easily! It's hard to believe it's been almost a month since I last posted! Bad Jen. Anyway I thought I'd do one of my random update posts in hopes of getting myself back in gear.

Reading updates-

I'm happy to report that I have read 4 books since my last post. I'm hoping to review at least a couple of these but no promises since I'm trying the whole 'no pressure' approach to blogging this year.

Dirty Little Secrets by Liliana Hart (3.5 stars)
A Shattered Moment by Tiffany King (4 stars)
All Lined Up by Cora Carmack (4 stars)
Falling For Her Fiancé by Cindi Madsen (3.5 stars)

 

TV (zombie filled) updates-
Walking Dead- I hate to say it but this season hasn't really impressed me too much. There have been some redeeming scenes but I miss having those bigger, game changing moments. Here's hoping the season goes out with a bang with the three remaining episodes.

Cw's iZombie starts next week! Do any of you plan to watch? I'm looking forward to the fresh take on zombies.

Zombeavers also releases next week according to imdb.com. If you like really cheesy B movies then you should definitely check this one out. It's the cheesiest of cheesefests....aka I loved it!

Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead- I watched this for the second time and I'm still impressed at their creative use of intestines in both Dead Snow movies.

That's it for now. Until next time...

Review: Tempting Her Best Friend by Gina Maxwell

Tempting Her Best Friend (What Happens in Vegas #1)
By Gina L. Maxwell

Goodreads | Amazon

     Alyssa Miller is tired of waiting for her next door neighbor to see her as more than just his best friend. Ready to let off some steam, she heads to Las Vegas for a romance book convention where, if she's lucky, she'll get down and dirty with one of the sexy cover models.
     Dillon Alexander doesn't do commitment - especially not where his best friend is concerned. She deserves a man who can give her the world, not damaged goods. But when he realizes Alyssa intends to have a one-night stand on her vacation, he hauls ass after her to make sure he's the one to scratch her itch.
     Neither of them expects their explosive chemistry to burn hotter than the lights on the strip, but with a little help from Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, a flamboyant matchmaker, and TSA, what happens in Vegas might not stay in Vegas...

I've been in a bleh mood the last two days and this ended up being the perfect book at the perfect time. It made me laugh, grin, blush, and swoon...well really I had to try to NOT do those things since I was reading at work. Anyway, it pulled me out of my funk so thank you to the author for writing a bad mood breaker.

Some other reasons I loved this book...

1. Book loving main character
2. Bond Names
3. Tarzan
4. Cab Rides
5. The Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, etc mentioned in the description

I'm sure most of that makes no sense without reading it but trust me they're good reasons :)

Quickie Reviews & Cool Covers

Reading Updates

After 2 weeks of not reading I'm back! I read two books yesterday...we won't discuss how much I had to ignore work and my hubby in order to accomplish that ;)

The first book was A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall. This was an enjoyable read with a few unique aspects and just as the title suggests it really is a little something different. 3.5-4 Stars (I'm being indecisive)

The second book I read was I'll Meet You There by Heather Demetrios. The biggest thing I can say about this book is that it felt like it is or could be real. Not everyone's lives are the chipper and cheery love stories that you see in a lot of books. I'll Meet You There is a book about people with rough lives and real problems. 5 Stars


Cool Cover Sightings

Last week I mentioned a cover reveal for End of Days (Penryn and the End of Days 3) by Susan Ee. Well here it is! I also found the gorgeousness that is Storm by Amanda Sun.
