Five Friday Favorites

It's Friday, Friday, gonna get down on Friday... Guess what happens today? That's right. Twihards will be creaming their panties (if they haven't done so at midnight) during the headboard breaking smexing scene in Breaking Dawn Part 1. Really? Part 1? Just because Potter did it doesn't mean that every tween book turned movie has to do it with the last book in the series. The only good thing about the last Twilight book were Jacob's chapter titles. Anywho, rant over. Let's get on to the good stuff.

This weeks Five Friday Favorites:

December Joyathon. Not that I'm tooting my own horn or anything. The banner is fabulous (done by Ms. Jenn LeBlanc), the authors are totally awesome and my co-conspirators(Laura & Jamie Lynn) have sooo amazing. It was this tiny idea with just a name and then it took a life of its own becoming this 24 day event that I hope to hold annually on the blog. Gah! Just so flipping excited about it. Why yes, those abs on the banner belong to the guy in my header. :)

Pride & Passion by Charlotte Featherstone. Danger, betrayal, pride, secrets, passion, the occult. Hello Charlotte Featherstone, where have you been all my life? And yes, I picked this book up because of it's gorgeous cover. Let me tell you, I'm not a fan of orange but this cover is just fantastic. I missed out on Scandal & Seduction, the first book in the series and have been running all over town looking for it. Apparently my bookstores have no appreciation for romance books.

Forever and A Day by Delilah Marvelle. This is her first book in her new Rumor series. Confession: I have been hankering DYING to read this galley. It's floating in the Kindle, taunting me. I keep telling it that there are other books that I must read and it needs to buy me flowers and dinner before I jump into bed with it. Seriously, Delilah Marvelle is one of my favorite authors. She was the first to introduce me to ass play. No joke. I've had a girl crush on her ever since. :)

GIMP. Okay, I've had this photoshop-like program on my computer for a while now and just started playing around with it. OMG. How could I not have discovered the wonders of it until now??? It takes a while to figure out filters and cutting and dragging and all that good stuff. My favorite is smudging. *giggle*

Model Mayhem. Once again, I lost over an hour during the writing of this post just looking through Model Mayhem. What?! It's the best place to find man candy. Some of your favorite Man Candy Monday staples come from there. Seriously. Like this guy:

Now that I've shared my five favorites for this week, what about YOU? Any new movies, books, videos, man candy or what have you that you've been loving this week? Sharing IS Caring. :)

Five Friday Favorites

Yay for Fridays! It's the end of the work week for all you 9-5ers. Saw Green Lantern Sunday and Ryan Reynolds looks GOOD in green spandex. And whitey tighties. Goodreads has been good to me. I've gotten 2 wonderful looking books that I'll be moving to the top of my TBR pile. I received some super fabulous items from Ashley March and Jenn LeBlanc which the lucky winners of the Midsummer's Eve Giveaway Hop will receive with their books. Picked up some great reads at my local B&N. Helloooo abs!
So grab a drink, kick back and share your favorite things about this week with me. And I'll share mine with you.

How To Seduce A Scoundrel by Vicky Dreiling. Oh. My. Gosh! Just read my review. I'm still grinning like a total goofball. I got the opportunity to read this book from NetGalley and at the end of the galley, there's an excerpt for Will's book(Hawk's baby brother). And I want to know more! Oh, Vicky D. you are a tease.

Wild Vines. This stuff is DEE-LISH! Oh man. It's almost like drinking Boons Farm. Syrupy sweet, bubbly and the type of stuff that got Levi Johnston into Bristol Palin's pants (or so she says in her memoir). Hooray for wine coolers! I heart giggle juice.

Model Mayhem. THE BEST SITE EVER! The wonderful Jenn LeBlanc introduced us to this site. There are gorgeous, drool worthy pictures from model portfolios. We've trolled this site over and over again. Supposedly we're researching for something but I can't seem to remember what once I start looking.

San Diego County Fair. Deep fried Kool Aid balls (a total disappointment), fried Twinkies, girl scout cookies, Snicker's , Klondike bars, Oreos. You name it, it can be deep fried. Watching men in breeches jumping horses. Fun concerts. Beer and Wine Festival. Muscle cars. Smelly animals. Racing pigs. Bandaloni- the one man band from the first season of America's Got Talent. Ride till you puke carnival rides. What more could you ask for?

Romance Lately. The new show brought to you by The Pervies aka Jamie from For the Love of Romance, Rita J from Not Another Romance Blog and yours truly. We talk about all things romance, have guest authors, and giggle like 12 year olds. We had our first two shows within the last week. First show featured Tiffany Reisz, author of SEVEN DAY LOAN and second show we had Jenn LeBlanc, THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE (What? You don't know her? I've got her book plastered all over this blog). Check out the show blog here.
