"Soul Deep" by Lora Leigh

Title: Soul Deep
Author: Lora Leigh
Series: Bk#1 Coyote Breed series
Published: ebook-2004/print-2007
Pages: 190

Synopsis: Book 1 in the Coyote Breeds series.
Mother Nature has a way of making the most unlikely couples 'fit'. And what could be more unlikely than a sassy, independent President's daughter who doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut and a loner Coyote Breed with a hunger for a cute rosebud mouth that he's determined to still. The vote for Breed Law is coming down the pike.
Kiowa's job is to watch Amanda, the President's daughter look, but not touch. Just make sure the Goof Troop, the Secret Service detail assigned to protect her, do their job until the law is passed. But when they don't and the bad guys move in to take her out, Kiowa reluctantly slips in to the rescue, snatching her away to safety. But she isn't going to come easy and it takes more than smooth talking to make her see his point of view.
For a man who's had nothing, Amanda Marion is food for the hunger that has tortured him, the reality to every dream Kiowa never dared believe in. What he feels for her is more than heat, more than love. She breathes life into his hardened heart, melting the icy chill that has protected him all his life, and touches a part of him that he thought had died his soul. And now he'll kill anyone who tries to take her away from him. But the one person he can't fight is Amanda, and when she wants to leave...

In a word: HOT!!!

**I re-read this book for the Re-read 2010 Book Challenge**

This still remains my favorite book of Lora Leigh's "Breed series". It's HOT, fast paced and focuses on the romance more than the politics of the breed vs humans in society. Kiowa is watching Amanda without her knowing it. He's also falling in love with the woman he was sent to protect. As he watches her, he sees the woman she is, caring, loving, funny, smart, sassy and sexy as hell. He knows she's the Presidents daughter and as such would have nothing to do with him. He's the result of a science experiment mixing human and coyote DNA to create a super soldier. Fearless, cunning, aggressive and strong.

On Halloween night as Kiowa is watching from a distance as Amanda is handing out candy to children something goes wrong. Suddenly Amanda is not there and he's sure he heard a woman's scream. Jumping to action, Kiowa finds several hooded men in the process of abducting Amanda- who is out cold. He ruthlessly kills them all, then kidnaps Amanda himself in order to protect her.

When Amanda wakes up and starts to scream the best way Kiowa can think of shutting her up is to kiss her. When their lips meet, fire erupts. Kiowa has special glands along his tongue that swell when he kisses his mate and kick start his mate into 'heat'. Neither one of these two have any idea this happens, but they do know they are both burning up with sexual desire. Amanda is scared to death, she is kissing this stranger and wants nothing more than to have sex with him and she doesn't even know his name. Kiowa is stunned. He's kissed many women but none of them have had this sort of startling effect on him or his body.

Kiowa makes a phone call to the Breeds base to tell them what is going on. They sent a couple to help get Kiowa and Amanda to safety fast. From there it is a race not only to protect Amanda, but also to control their burning desire. Amanda is in full blown heat and she's in horrible pain because she hasn't had sex with Kiowa. And he's in just as much pain as his body is demanding he mate with her. Halfway to base they can wait no longer. The car pulls over, the couple sent to retrieve Kiowa and Amanda get out of the car to give the heated couple privacy.

Once they've mated Amanda's pain disappears for a while giving her time to relax. Kiowa gets a pretty good idea what is going on, as he's heard stories about other Breeds and this mating call. What Kiowa didn't know (nor Amanda) was that once he'd found his mate, she would trigger his penis to 'knot' during sex just like coyotes do. During sex, Kiowa's penis swells and locks in Amanda's womb assaulting them both with orgasm after orgasm for several long moments. Amanda is still clueless and stunned that she's just had sex with a complete stranger who has a knotting penis, liked it and wants to do it again- soon!

Excerpt (sex scene against the side of their Jeep) page 81 & 82:

"Not yet," he snarled then.
"Now." She was shaking, the added pain pushing her higher.
He spanked her again. His hard calloused hand landed with enough strength to make her burn. She twisted, tightening her pussy, feeling her juices flowing with the added stimulus.
"Damn you," he gritted out then. "You're killing me, Manda. Leave me some control, dammit."
Why? She had none left.
She tightened again, whimpering in pleasure as his strokes increased, his hands gripping her ass as he began to pound inside her. Hard. Heavy.
Burning, exquisite lightning erupted inside her womb, sending her senses spinning as ecstasy washed over with orgasm so deep, so hard she could only cry brokenly in response.
Then she screamed.
"No. Kiowa, no..."
But there was no stopping it. The swelling had already begun, stretching her, prolonging her orgasm, locking him deep inside her as his hips jerked and his throttled shout signaled his own release.
His semen spurted inside her, and she could feel it. Felt the head of his cock locked at the mouth of her womb as each hard pulse of seed jetted inside her body. Her release built again, exploded, echoed and vibrated inside her as his teeth sank into her flesh again, holding her in place, refusing to allow her to fight the hold he now had on her.

This was a great HOT erotic paranormal book and entire series.

Review: 'The Iron Fey' series by Julie Kagawa

Two book reviews in one post today because I read these books back to back and they are from one series.

Title: The Iron King
Author: Julie Kagawa
Series: The Iron Fey Bk#1
Genre: YA Fantasy
Pages: 363
Published: 2010

Synopsis: "Meghan Chase has a secret destiny—one she could never have imagined…
Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school…or at home.
When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change.
But she could never have guessed the truth—that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face…and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart."


In a word: enchanting

This story hooked me from the very beginning. Meghan is an outcast at school who fantasizes about the most popular boy in school noticing her. When he does notice her, its not at all how Meghan had dreamed. Instead it becomes the most humiliating day of her life. Robbie is Meghan's faithful best friend. He is always there for her and always seems to know exactly what Meghan needs. One day, Meghan's world turns upside down when her little brother has been replaced with an evil changeling. Robbie offers Meghan a choice, he can make her forget everything- including her little brother, so that she accepts the changeling or she can learn the whole truth of her heritage and begin a deadly journey into Faeryland to search for her brother.

She has to go find her brother and she doesn't want to forget. Rob is torn between wanting to keep her safe and wanting her to know the real Rob- who happens to be Robin Goodfellow from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" or AKA "Puck". The fey in this story are brought to life by the stories humans make up. As long as the story is retold or the characters remember in anyway by humans, the fey live on, and are immortal. If humans forget the stories or characters, the fey die.

Robbie leads Meghan into Faeryland and the adventure begins. It's nonstop and full of amazing creatures and places. Meghan's father is the Summer Faery King, Oberon (Seeling King). He did not plan on Meghan ever entering Faeryland. He had ordered Robbie to keep watch over Meghan and keep her ignorant of her true heritage for her own safety. The Winter Queen (Unseeling Queen) would like nothing more than to get her hands on Oberon's daughter and use Meghan as a pawn.

As Meghan searches for her brother, she meets and befriends an assortment of fey beings. One being is the Winter Queen's youngest son, Ash. Ash is beyond gorgeous. He's breathtaking beautiful and has a heart of pure ice. He'd just as soon kill you as speak with you. But Meghan manages to catch his eye- after he first tries to hunter her down to kill her. At first she's terrified of him- then he asks her to dance and his absolute beauty awes her. It is forbidden in the Faeryland for the Summer court beings to mix with the Winter court beings. A romance between the two sides ends with the couple being forever banished from Faeryland if they do not renounce their love and take an oath never to see each other again. Fey oaths can never be broken.

While Meghan doesn't really grasp all that this law entails, Ash does. He knows being with Meghan would cost him everything - even his own life because a fey couldn't live forever in the human world. These two have chemistry from their first dance, but Ash has no intentions of letting anything happen. Meghan on the other hand, can't seem to help herself. She is drawn to Ash like a moth to light. She sees inside him...beyond his icy exterior. Even Ash's own family doesn't know or see him as clearly as Meghan does.

But Meghan didn't come to Faeryland for romance, she's on a mission to get her younger brother and bring him home. She travels all over Faeryland, having near death encounters with assorted beings all whom would love to eat her (apparently humans are very tasty to the fey). As she travels she begins to learn more about herself and her fey powers that she didn't know even existed. Her journey eventually brings her face to face with the powerful Iron King and only she can defeat him because he is iron and iron is poison to the fey people. Meghan being half human has no problem with iron. But the Iron King is very powerful and has been busy building an army so that he can take over both the Summer and Winter Courts of Faeryland. He wants to rule it all and he wants Meghan at his side as his Iron Queen. He offers her everything, power, the freedom of her brother and family, even immortality its self if she will only become his queen.

For the girl who was the social outcast at school, made fun of, the poor pig-farmers daughter who never had anything, this is an amazing offer. She could have it all, be on top for the first time in her life. She'd have power and with that power the ability to never been an outcast or social misfit again. No one would dare laugh at her, or play cruel jokes on her again. She'd be feared and adored for eternity. Meghan has a choice to make. She must consider her old life and all she had with the possibility of all the Iron King offers her for her future as the Queen of all Faeryland.

Great fun fantasy fiction!

Title: The Iron Daughter
Author: Julie Kagawa
Series: The Iron Fey Bk#2
Genre: YA Fantasy
Pages: 359
Published: 2010

Synopsis: "Half Summer faery princess, half human, Meghan has never fit in anywhere. Deserted by the Winter prince she thought loved her, she is prisoner to the Winter faery queen. As war looms between Summer and Winter, Meghan knows that the real danger comes from the Iron fey—ironbound faeries that only she and her absent prince have seen. But no one believes her.
Worse, Meghan's own fey powers have been cut off. She's stuck in Faery with only her wits for help. Trusting anyone would be foolish. Trusting a seeming traitor could be deadly. But even as she grows a backbone of iron, Meghan can't help but hear the whispers of longing in her all-too-human heart."


In a word: Fantastic!

The story takes up right where 'The Iron King' left off. Meghan had given her word to Ash that after her younger brother was rescued she would go with Ash to the Winter Court where he would turn her over to his Queen to do with as she pleased. Ash is torn between his duty to the Winter Queen and his feelings for Meghan. He can't have both. He must decide which he wants more, his entire centuries old fey life at the Winter Court or Meghan Chase the half human fey girl who has captured his heart. But there is a love triangle going on here. Faithful devoted friend Robbie is in love with Meghan too and he's not going to give up Meghan without a fight. Meghan might be forced to chose between the two men she loves most in the world. Will she chose the icy prince who pushes her away and threatens to kill her at every opportunity or her best friend whose kisses she can't deny make her want more? If she choses Ash, he loses everything in his world and is forsaken. If she choses Robbie she can have it all, both a human world existance and the ability to live with and among the Summer fey whenever she wants. She gives up nothing with Rob.

Divided hearts are not the only problem in this story, the Iron King's army is still growing and the stubborn Summer King and Winter Queen refuse to listen to reason. They don't believe there is an Iron kingdom. They do not see the threat to their very existance even when Ash and Meghan warn them. And, there is a traitor in the Winter Court. The Winter Queen believes Meghan has used Ash and made him the traitor. She's wrong and it just might cost her the Winter kingdom.

The adventure in this book is even better than the first because we meet back up with many old friends from the first book, as well as the romance heats up, the adventure is riveting and nonstop, more mysteries from the first book are solved and some old enemies become friends.

Another great book by author Julie Kagawa! I can't wait to read the next book "The Iron Queen" which is scheduled to be released in early 2011.

A song & a HOT movie...

**warning: this post includes nudity**


This weekend I watched a steamy hot romance indie film from 2005 called "Lie With Me" (a movie fellow blogger Barbara mentioned long ago). Anyway, I just fell in love with the music that opened and closed the film.

The song is "Saviour" by Canadian musician Annelise Noronha.

Lyrics:

It didn't have to be him
It could've been anybody
You didn't have to begin
To dismantle me

You could save me if you wanted to
And if you asked me I would do the same for you
I could grieve the loss inside of you
I would save you if you want me to

All the time we spent was lying
All the things you said denying
And when you look into my eyes
All you see is second prize

You could save me if you wanted to
And if you asked me I would do the same for you
I could grieve the loss inside of you
I would save you if you want me to

Video with song "Saviour" by Annelise Noronha



My problem is I can't find anyone selling this song online so I can buy it. Can anyone help me out here?? Where can I buy this song??


Now about the movie "Lie With Me" - ...HOT HOT HOT!! Oh my! This movie is NOT for those who don't want graphic sex scenes.

I had two reasons for renting this movie, 1) fellow blogger Barbara mentioned watching it long ago and 2) it starred Eric Balfour (*sigh*).

Those were two perfectly good reasons for me renting this movie. Now, I had NO idea it was so sexually graphic. It's listed as "steamy romance" on Netflix so I knew it would be hot, but didn't know it would graphically show David (played by Eric Balfour) getting a blowjob (yes you see his complete very erect package). Nor did I know I'd see "David" going down on his girlfriend and very graphically bringing her to orgasm with his tongue. Then a surprise anal sex scene driven by an outburst of emotion from David. My jaw was on the floor watching most of this movie! LOL

For a visual of Eric's goods from the movie go: HERE (X-rated movie scene photos)

**warning nudity below**

Anywho... it was a bit weird only because Lila (the female lead) was hard to relate to for me and her actions to situations were completely the opposite of what my own reactions would have been. So she was difficult for me to actually like for most of the movie. But by the end, I understood her better and liked her and how it ended. David played by Eric Balfour I liked from the get go (what's not to like?!).


He stirred emotions in me, during the scenes where his father played a role. David cares for his elderly Dad so tenderly and you can see the love and respect between the two men, one older and one young yet both on the same page.

The story is about Lila, a young woman who likes and needs sex. She knows nothing about love, feeling love, giving love or even wanting love in her life. She just wants sex- often. David, has a girlfriend that he's not emotionally attached to when he meets Lila. But he soon gets rid of her to pursue Lila.

These two are instantly drawn to each other, but Lila's lack of emotional need bothers David. He wants more than sex with Lila and that terrifies her because she doesn't believe she is capable of an emotional attachment with anyone.

Their sex is hot and passionate. David's emotions play out very clearly, while Lila's lack of emotions was frustrating to watch because you really want these two to stay together. They drive each other crazy and apart, but can't help but be pulled back together again.

This movie delivers HOT graphic sex, nudity and in the end, a happily ever after for this passionate couple.

Movie Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Like many others, I went to see "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows" on opening day. I have mixed feelings on the movie. Even though the movie is done in two parts, it still felt extremely rushed to me. And while I am glad the movie is in two parts to keep more of the book content in it, I also wish the two parts weren't being release so far apart from each other. It would have been nice if they had released them in the same month, so that people could watch them one right after the other.

Also, for anyone who hasn't read the books, I think they might find it nearly impossible to really follow along with the journey in this movie. It's incredibly dark, as it rightly should be. I think many children who haven't read the book will be disappointed. My daughter's friend and her mother went. They have seen all the movies but never read the books and absolutely hated this Harry Potter movie. I told them they really should have read the books to appreciate all the details in the movie and to better understand how this is all unfolding. They walked away disappointed and bad mouthing the movie which I don't think was justified at all.

The movie was good, the effects great in bringing the book to life. The problem (I think) is for all those people out there who never bothered to read the books and instead just watched the movies. You're not going to get as much out of this movie installment without knowing the details.

***movie spoilers below***

Least favorite parts
1)I didn't like the naked Harry and Hermione scenes used to make Ron doubt his friends and not destroy the necklace. I didn't feel that was necessary at all. A few parents of young children at the movie didn't like it either, if their grumbling and gasps were any indicator.
2)I was sorry not see more of the Dursley's one last time. I know time was short, but they played a huge part in Harry's life and I wish they had gotten a bit more time in this one.
3)How the elves looked. Dobby didn't look like Dobby to me. Something was different and until I rewatch the second Harry Potter movie I won't be sure exactly what it was, but he didn't look right to me in the close up shots. From a distance he looked like his old self, but up close he seemed different- I think it was his skin or something.


Favorite parts
1)My most favorite part was when Harry could see Hermione was upset about Ron and without a word, turned up the music on the radio and took her in his arms to dance with her. That was so sweet. You know Harry isn't into dancing, but he saw his dear faithful friend hurting and wanted to cheer her up and it worked- for a bit anyway. That was a touching scene for me.
2)I loved Ron knowing he had really ticked off Hermione and his feeble attempts and making things right again. But not knowing for sure how to go about it, all the while deflecting deadly glares from a very ticked off Hermione. Very cute.
3)The STRONG showing of faithful friendship against all odds and probable death between Harry, Hermione and Ron and all the others like Luna, George, Fred etc. Beautifully portrayed and tear worthy.
4)Loved the animated scene telling the story of the "Deathly Hallows". That really did a great job of showing what the Deathly Hallows was all about.
5)Loved that the movie, as dark as it was, included humor and some real laugh out loud moments. The word play and actions between Harry, Hermione and Ron were fantastic.

Difficult scenes
1)The death of Dobby.
2)Hermione being tortured - the guys listening to her horrible screams and not being able to get to her.
3)The loss/death of Harry's beloved owl Hedwig.

Overall a wonderful portrayal of the final book in the Harry Potter series. I look forward to seeing part 2 and how it all wraps up on the big screen.

Have you seen it yet? What did you think? What where your favorite and least favorite parts? Any part difficult to watch?

Doesn't this look good??!!

"Going Too Far" by Jennifer Echols

Title: Going Too Far
Author: Jennifer Echols
Published: 2009
Pages: 245pgs - 19 Chapters
Genre: YA Contemporary

Synopsis: HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO?
All Meg has ever wanted is to get away. Away from high school. Away from her backwater town. Away from her parents who seem determined to keep her imprisoned in their dead-end lives. But one crazy evening involving a dare and forbidden railroad tracks, she goes way too far...and almost doesn't make it back.
John made a choice to stay. To enforce the rules. To serve and protect. He has nothing but contempt for what he sees as childish rebellion, and he wants to teach Meg a lesson she won't soon forget. But Meg pushes him to the limit by questioning everything he learned at the police academy. And when he pushes back, demanding to know why she won't be tied down, they will drive each other to the edge -- and over....


In a word: Great!


From the first page I was drawn into this story. I wanted to know more about Meg and Officer After who arrests Meg and her friends for being drunk and trespassing on the forbidden railroad track bridge. A bridge that some teens were killed on several years earlier. A bridge Officer After is determined to keep the local teens off of.

Meg is a rebellious teen. She dyes her hair blue, drinks, smokes pot and likes to have sex. She gets good grades, good enough for college and can't wait to get out of the small town she was raised in. She doesn't get along with her parents, but often feels bad for hurting her mother with her actions. But not bad enough to stop her bad behavior.

One night when she is high and more than a bit drunk, Meg and her current sex partner Eric go up on the railroad bridge along with some friends. Just when things are starting to get hot between Meg and Eric, Officer After shows up to arrest them all. As each one of her friends gets cuffed and stuffed in patrol cars, Meg begins to panic. She can't stand being tied down (she hyperventilates and faints).
But Officer After hears the warning her friends give him about Meg flipping out if you try to tied her down, so instead he merely puts her in the back of his cruiser and locks the doors. This too makes Meg panic, but she manages to hold on to her panic until they reach the police station by running her mouth and cracking sarcastic remarks at Officer After.

One by one, her drunk accomplices are picked up from the police station by ticked off parents. All but Meg. Her family has washed their hands of her. She has pushed them too far this time. They leave her in jail. When Officer After attempts to lock Meg in a jail cell for the night, she faints. The woman police dispatcher, takes pity on Meg and offers to drive her home. Once home, Meg's father rips into her and demands to know why she bothered coming home at all. Meg knows she's pushed her parents too far this time, so she bites her tongue and goes to work in the family diner without saying a word to rock the boat further. She focuses on the big picture: finish high school, get the hell out of town.

Three of the four teens are forced to do "ride alongs" with police, ambulance or fire departments. The fourth teen, Eric has an attorney for a father who gets him out of any trouble he gets into. Meg finds out she is to ride along with Officer After every night for a week during her spring break. She's not happy about it, and uses her sarcasm to let Officer After know it every chance she gets. She questions him, pokes and prods him pushing him to his own limits. Officer After pushes right back at Meg, forcing her to look at her life and what she's doing to herself.

Once she's no longer getting drunk or high and recalls that Officer After had gone to school with her and wasn't that much older than her she begins to see him in a new way. She notices he's a hunky hot guy with a rock-her-world body that never quits. And Officer After has been caught several times checking out Meg's assets. The two are clearly attracted to each other. Officer After tries to keep things professional between them, but makes it perfectly clear he wants more. Meg wants sex with Officer After, but no strings attached. She doesn't do relationships- its just another form of being tied down.

They both come to a decision. When the week is up and there is no official tie between them, they are going to pursue the burning chemistry between them. Officer After wants a relationship, Meg wants hot sex and then to get out of town. Officer After wants to convince Meg that this small town isn't bad, and a good life can be had there. Meg wants to convince Officer After that there is more to life than that small town. She wants him to leave and never look back.

When she leads Officer After back to the train track bridge she gets a very surprising reaction from him. The question is, who will get their way (will they stay or will they leave?) and can these two opposites work things out?

There's more to this story that I did not want to give away. It's a quick read, full of interesting events and twists that drive the story forward. I read this in one sitting, just a few hours and loved every page. Having been a rebellious teen with blue hair (during my punk 80's phase) I related to Meg and liked her a lot. Officer After was just sexy hot and sigh worthy.

Rating: 5 stars out of 5 stars.

10 Things...

Hi all! I have a few things to share today, after my MIA of several days. I am taking a page from fellow blogger Kati over at Katidom who sometimes does a "10 Things" blog post to share assorted items in her life. Thanks for the idea Kati!!

1)I've been working crazy hours lately, so my blogging time has really been chopped to near nothing. I am sorry for not visiting all your wonderful blogs, and believe me I feel the loss. I think I'm going through withdrawals or something! It sucks! I have been reading many blogs on GoogleReader as time permits- though not much time to leave comments. But life has been crazy lately. Anywho, I haven't forgotten any of you, and miss you all very much. (((hugs)))


2) I did manage to complete a new YA book this week- actually just last night. It was a VERY fast read and a good one. The book is "Going Too Far" by Jennifer Echols. She's the town's 17 year old 'bad girl' with blue hair and he's the rookie cop determined to save her. That's all I'm saying till I write my review! I couldn't put it down and will be posting a review soon.

3) I did spend one day submerging myself in Jane Austen and loving every moment of it. I had a Jane Austen moviefest. I watched "Sense & Sensibility" (Hugh Grant/Alan Rickman version- my personal favorite), "Mansfield Park"(2007), "Northanger Abbey" and "Pride & Prejudice" (K.Knightley version). I loved it! Thought the version of Mansfield Park was my least favorite (2007 with blond Fanny). My favorite Mansfield Park is the 1999 version with Jonny Lee Miller, I can watch this version over and over and not get tired of it. Just wonderful!

4) I had to re-read a book for the 2010 Re-read Challenge and found myself once again picking up "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer. Since I've already read and re-read this book on this blog over the years, I won't review it yet again. I just have to say, the first three books of this series have become "comfort reads" for me. I think each time I re-read Twilight I discover a bit more about the peculiar character/nature of Bella. What really stood out in this reading, was that truly Bella would never ever have been happy remaining a mere human.
Even if she hadn't met Edward, Bella just never fit in and was unhappy with her lot in life. Without Edward she probably would have ended up totally miserable or making Jacob totally miserable had they 'hooked up'. That begs the question, if Edward and Bella never got together to produce their hybrid monster child (*shudder*), would Jacob have ever "imprinted" on anyone? Hmm...
I am not sure why I enjoy coming back to this series so often. Bella often drives me crazy and I always end up feeling bad for Jacob who (in my opinion) just gets used by Bella and gets his heart trampled on way too many times. Oh how I wish Meyers would have never written "Breaking Dawn" and instead jumped off with a new series giving Jacob his own storyline and true love (not a monster baby). *sniff, sniff*

*dries tears and moves on*

5) Have you seen the 7 year old rapping Ke$ha tunes?


6) My TV crack addiction: Vampire Diaries. I am loving it, but I am upset that hot, sexy werewolf Mason Lockwood got killed off so damn soon! He was wonderful eye candy and really, really needed to stick around for the entire season in my opinion. I am adoring Caroline as a vamp. She's great and her character is really coming into her own now. In the first season, this character annoyed me mostly and I was bored with her screen time. Now I look forward to it. After last Thursday's episode, I found myself feeling sorry for evil, crazy bitch vampire Katherine. I know she's a ruthless killer, selfish and destructive, but her past history made me feel bad for her. I can't help but wonder where the show will take her character and Elena. Should be very interesting, though not nearly as interesting as where I HOPE the storyline takes Elena and Damon. If they fail to deliver this smoldering couple hooking up, it will destroy the entire Vamp Diaries series (in my opinion). This long drawn out lead up, really needs to deliver on the goods and make it as hot as the build up has become. Just saying...(as my daughter so often says).

7) My other addiction: Sons of Anarchy. I liked season one, I ADORED season two. This season... bored to damn tears. What happened? This season doesn't even have the same...flavor of the past seasons. It's like they tossed out Kurt Sutter and put someone else at the helm. Kurt! Kurt!! What the hell are you doing? Big disappointment on this one... I just hope somehow it is redeemed before the season final- but I'm not holding my breath. I feel like I'm watching a train wreck this season.

8) Books I can't wait for...
-The next book in the Karen Marie Moning "Fever" series "Shadowfever" to come out in December. I love this fantasy fiction series and just couldn't put the previous books down! This woman knows how to do cliffhangers!
-The next book "Entice" in the YA fairy series by Carrie Jones to come out. This is a superb fantasy YA romance series! And what a cliffhanger!! If you haven't tried this series yet you are truly missing out! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!

9) Movies I can't wait for...
-I can't wait to see "Beastly", inspired by the book "Beastly" by Alex Flinn.
-I can't wait to see "I Am Number Four", inspired by the book "I Am Number Four" by Pittacuse Lore.
(same male actor, Alex Pettyfer stars in both films as the lead)

10)And finally, I can't wait to have more reading and blogging time!!

So what are you all up to? What are you reading? What are you watching? What have I been missing?!

MIA...

Sorry I've been MIA lately. I am just working so many hours that I have not had any time to read or blog lately. It's been crazy!

For fans of the CW's "Vampire Diaries" have you heard that in December the CW is going to be showing 2 hours of Vampire Diaries every night? *big grin*

For more on the details go to TVFANATIC.COM.

Hopefully I will be back to my regular blogging soon.
