5 for Friday - July 20
Happy Friday! Today's the day I go down in history as either the Best Mother in the World or the Worst. For an early 7th birthday present, I bought my son tickets to go see WWE Raw. I only bought two, so he can go with the hubs but they allegedly have some autograph signings or something for the kids first, so I am tagging along for that. Some of these dudes are built like shit-brick-houses, so I'll let you know if I see anything worth reporting.5. I am getting more and more excited about this upcoming Styxx book from Sherrilyn Kenyon.

2013 is so far away!!
4. Which brings me to that other book I am waiting for with baited breath... Lover At Last. JR Ward posted the following on her Facebook page:
What does this MEAN?? Is he losing his heart? His sock? His cherry as a bottom?? (I could be down with that, by the way.) Ward is trying to keeel me!
3. Speaking of hot m/m action, Jennifer at The Book Nympho tipped me off to this fabulous article on straight girls and gay porn.
I know it doesn't wet everyone's whistle, but it's nice to see I'm in such good company!
2. We've all got our guilty pleasure reads, and mine are Christine Feehan's Carpathian books. I can do no other than to keep reading them. (Only other Feehan readers will get that joke.) Christine has posted the first chapter of Dark Storm on her website. Here are the deets:
Return to the seductive
world of Christine Feehan's New York Times bestselling Carpathian novels
as roiling passions collide in a perfect storm of dangerous desire that
only a precious few can hope to outrun . . .
Awakening after all this time in a world of absolute darkness and oppressive heat, Dax wonders in how many ways the world above must have changed. But it is how he has changed that fills him with dread and loathing. Buried alive for hundreds of years in a volcano in the Carpathian Mountains, Dax fears that he has become the full-fledged abomination that every Carpathian male fears, a victim of the insidious evil that has crept relentlessly into his mind and body over the centuries. But there are some things that never change.
His name is Mitro, the vampire Dax had hunted all these long centuries. Second in command to the prince of the Carpathian people he is the epitome of everything malevolent, and perpetrator of one of the most shocking killing sprees known to man - and beast. Even his friends and family weren't safe from Mitro's bloodlust. Neither was Mitro's lifemate, Arabejila, an extraordinary woman with extraordinary gifts. But now that Dax has re-emerged, so too has Mitro. The ultimate battle between good and evil has been re-engaged. Between Dax and Mitro, a violent game has begun - one that has marked Riley Parker, the last descendent of Arabejila, as the reward.

Who the hell are these people? I want Skylar and Dmitri. (*whine font*) Feehan jumped ahead 50 years between the first two books. She can jump another 5 years for this one!! Patience is not my greatest strength.
1. And finally, Penguin is giving away a copy of Fury's Kiss before you can buy it!
Dorina Basarab is a
dhampir—half-human, half-vampire. Subject to uncontrollable rages, most
dhampirs live very short, very violent lives. But so far, Dory has
managed to maintain her sanity by unleashing her anger on those demons
and vampires who deserve killing...
Dory is used to fighting hard and nasty. So when she wakes up in a strange scientific lab with astrange man standing over her, her first instinct is to take his head off. Luckily, the man is actually the master vampire Louis-Cesare, so
he’s not an easy kill.
It turns out that Dory had been working
with a Vampire Senate task force on the smuggling of magical items and
weaponry out of Faerie when she was captured and brought to the lab. But
when Louis-Cesare rescues her, she has no memory of what happened to
her.
To find out what was done to her—and who is behind it—Dory
will have to face off with fallen angels, the maddest of mad scientists,
and a new breed of vampires that are far worse than undead…
Fury's Kiss is out October 2nd. The contest runs through August 3rd.
XOXO,
Jen

Love ma gay porn, love it a lot *nods head* I am hoping Quinn won't be a butt-virgin anymore, that's not a bad thing to lose at all.
Styxx?!? Oh man, I feel that's going to be an emotional one.
I am already planning to take the day off of work to stay home and read this book. (March is too far away!!!)
Hell yeah! I'm excited for this one. I'm ready to go back to the Acheron side of the DH universe.
It's funny how to hot guys together are sexy but yet two women together does nothing for me. Guess why the opposite is the same for straight men. LOL
Exactly. And this is how I explained it to my husband, when he asked me why I liked it. I said, "You like watching two chicks, right?" His answer: "That's different."
Just keep telling yourself that, dear.
Oh I can't wait to read Styxx book and the cover is quite interesting!
Yes Lover at Last (finally Qhuinn and Blay's book)and I love your comments about what Qhuinn will be losing! LOL!
Thanks for the posting the first chapter to Dark Storm! I really enjoy the Carpathian series too! My guilty pleasure read is The Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton!
Ah, Anita. I will not trash-talk your guilty pleasure! (I used to read them... I understand.)
I think girls are weird if they don't look at gay porn. Who wants to see m/f?? ;) No really.
My dad took me when I was about that age to a WWE (or was it WWF way back then) BEST time ever.
I loved wrestling as a kid. I even watched the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling. (Does anyone else remember G.L.O.W. ?? I think I just showed my age with that one.)
