I finished reading this book a few nights ago, just haven't had the chance to write anything about it until now This is the third Aisling Grey novel and like the two before it, was a lot of FUN! Katie writes books that just grab you and keep you interested until the end. This one…

I REALLY enjoyed the first two instalments of the urban fantasy series, Walker Papers. They were both a lot of fun and filled with some very intense action and interesting plots about Seattle cop, Joanne Walker. This one was no different! It continued the story of how Joanne has to deal…

Um, it's not the most fascinating thing in the world to be talking about. That's for sure. But since I had a specialist appointment this morning with a doctor that specialises in Allergy, Respiratory & Sleep Medicine , I thought it would be appropriate. I was a little nerv…

He is strong, sexy, and on a quest to fight his dark nature. Yet the one woman he most desires—is poison to him. Okay, this was my first Nocturne and I really didn't know what to expect. But I love Michele's writing style, so I was really looking forward to reading it. The story&…

Okay, I got there today! YAY... very excited. And although I technically could've written for a little longer, I stopped because I reached the end of a chapter. There's no point in starting a new one at the moment, since I left it in a cliff-hanger- ish kinda way. Lol. The word …

Okay, I'll start out by saying that I absolutely loved DESTINY. I read it last week and enjoyed every page, couldn't wait to get to the end because I just had to know what was going to happen next. This one's the second book in the series. It starts out knee-deep in action an…

Okay, I've been wanting to watch this movie for a while... but you all know how life goes - running out of time and all that!! Anyway, out of the blue, the hubby suggested we watch it late last night. And we did! What an awesome story! I especially liked its simplicity and honesty …

Okay, I've had this book on the bookshelf taunting me for a few months! I swear, I've been itching to get to it but something or other kept getting in the way. So, I cracked it open a few nights ago and got totally engrossed in it! It's an amazing adventure about an archaeolo…

That's right! I've signed up for the insanity that is National Novel Writing Month . As of this morning, I've joined the madness of getting stuck into trying to complete a first draft novel in one month - well, at least 50k is the aim with Nano. Of course, I'm aiming hi…

Well, I just watched the final episode and have to say this is one of the BEST shows I've ever watched. It was different, morbid, sometimes even obscene, but it challenged what we expect from TV shows. HBO's really good at doing that. It's kinda sad knowing there'll be no …

Yeah, that's right - it's my daughter's birthday today. She's 6! Wow, time sure does fly... Anyway, since she's going to have an ice-cream cake on Saturday for her pirate party at Hungry Jack's, I thought it would be nice to make her one for tonight. I'm making…

This FANTASTIC book is the reason why I absolutely LOVE urban fantasy tales! Yasmine has weaved a wonderful tale full of all the stuff that absolutely grabs me and pushes me forward until I get to the end. Not to mention that the cover is gorgeous! The D'Artigo sisters are half-human…

Yeah, this time it's channel 9. The same channel that decided two episodes of ROME was enough to cancel it! Now they've done the same to THE SOPRANOS. They claim three eps was enough to decide that the low ratings didn't warrant them continuing for the moment! I mean, are…

I waited ALL week for this episode... and it didn't disappoint! It was so un predictable, too. I only guessed one thing, and not at all like it happened. Man, do I love this show! And now we've gotta wait until sometime mid-next-year for the next season! Ugh . What's with …

Okay... over the weekend I read the entire SORORITY trilogy by Tamara Thorne . And it was actually very entertaining, and edgy. It's not your average tale of blonde-bimbo-cheerleaders only concerned about hair and clothes. No, this group of chicks is involved in some very dark, an…

So, apparently I suffered a mild panic attack last night. No, it was actually in the early hours of this morning. You all know how my nose has been continually stuffed up for several months now, right? Well, it started getting worse this week. And well, I've been trying to ignore it.…

On Friday night I sat down and stared at the bookshelf for a few minutes, contemplating what my next book to read should be. My eyes were scanning along, very eager to grab something when I stopped at this book. I've had this for a while but hadn't gotten around to reading it yet.…

Man, this book is so cool... it grabbed me instantly. The characters were engaging, though the suspicion kept building for all of them at one stage or another. This was like a thrill ride through someone's worst nightmare. When Katsu Espinoza agrees to go sailing with the family of h…

To the hubby and me! Yay. It's our seventh wedding anniversary today... very exciting! We're not doing anything out of the ordinary. Just being together has always been the best present of all. Can't wait until he gets home! So, how was everyone's weekend? Ours was p…

Danny Valentine's first book was awesome! I loved the dark, future world Lilith walked us into... and this one expands on not only the world, but Danny herself. I really enjoyed it! It's very dark and haunting. Danny's changed, she's mourning her demon lover - Japhrimel - …

Okay, something strange is happening downunder... our rating season usually starts sometime in February and ends maybe in late October/November - not 100% sure on that, so don't quote me! ;) But anyway, there's the usual influx of new American TV shows and then when they're …

Well, I just finished reading book 5 in the Weather Warden series... and wow , what a wild ride! Jo's thrown into one huge mess after the other, again! The bad things just don't stop coming, the impending doom chases her across the country. And I'm not just talking about the…

Today, I'm talking about the VCR. The Videocassette recorder wasn't actually invented in the 80s. Hell, it was invented way before that... but most of us got familiar with it during that decade. And what is it? According to Wiki : The videocassette recorder (or VCR, more comm…

... yet I haven't picked up another book for a few weeks now! I'm just too wrapped up in my own writing, but my fingers are itching to pick something up off the bookshelf. Ah! I'm a little sore at the moment. We did some weights last night and got stuck into some yoga first…

Well, it was Book Week at my daughter's school this week... and I've been writing a lot, plus reading - come on, I love to read. And so, all of this got me thinking and I remembered the Choose Your Own Adventure books I loved as a kid. You guys remember these, right? A litt…

In Pursuit of Prey Sekhmet, Egyptian goddess of feminine sexual heat is on the prowl. Only one man can make her purr. Join her on the hunt for her perfect mate as she seduces Mace with her decadent dance. Feel their pain as their differences dampen their heat, only to be fueled aga…

So I finally finished the first Blood Ties book... I took my time with this one, but it wasn't because I didn't like it. Because I did. I actually liked it a lot. Carrie was a little, I don't know what the best word would be - maybe unsympathetic, sometimes. She'd do thin…

Okay, today I'm picking a song: Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" , from 1983. I had a really hard time finding any pics for this... Anyway, how cool was this song? Uh , let me revise that, how cool is this song? IMO, it's definitely one of those hits that hol…

Yes, here's some very disturbing news from Harlequin. The brilliant imprint that is BOMBSHELL will no longer be around after February 2007. I personally, being a huge fan of these books, can't understand what went wrong. Well, okay, so I agree with what other fans are saying…

My daughter came home with a swollen and badly grazed face yesterday. It's just below her left eye. Luckily nothing happened to her eye, but the skin's looking really tender and sore. Apparently they were preparing for the Athletics Carnival - which happens to be today - with a pr…

After reading CRESCENT MOON and absolutely loving it, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one! When it came in last week, I knew it was going to be the next book I picked up... and I did just that last night. I wanted to get started, get to know Priestess Cassandra a little more…

Okay... today's pick isn't actually something that was released in the 80s, but something released recently that focuses on the 80s! It's Singstar '80s. This PlayStation game has a wide variety of very cool songs that I love singin' away to. We actually played it …

I absolutely LOVED this book! Actually, I love this series... it's outstanding. Definitely one of my faves. Anyway, this book goes back to being narrated by Elena Michaels who happens to be the only female werewolf around. She gets caught up paying a favour back to Xavier, which hap…

Ooooops , I almost forgot it's Wednesday today... Ha. Ha. Today I want to briefly talk about teased hair. Yeah, don't cringe or try to pretend you don't know what I'm talking about because anyone who was a teenager during the 80s knows exactly what I mean! And here…

Okay, last night I finally sat down and told myself I would get to the end of this great book! And I did. Wow -- what a cool ride. I gotta say, Harry Dresden is just one of those real-to-life characters. You know the ones that really jump off the page and feel totally real? Yeah, he'…

Okay, today's 80s pick isn't exactly from that decade because the books were written and published beforehand, but I didn't get a chance to experience them until I was in high school in the late 80s. I'm talking about none other than S.E. Hinton . The writer who first m…

Well, DOCTOR WHO just seems to get better and better ! We watched it on Saturday night and it totally rocked! I'm lovin' David Tennant... he's ultra cool. Rose is pretty good too, though I don't know what's happened to Billy Piper's hair this season. Ugh. She needs…

Yesterday I ordered Midnight Moon from my fave bookstore, and was reminded that I still hadn't read the first book in Lori Handeland's new trilogy. So I picked it up last night, intending to read a few chapters to get a taste of it... but I enjoyed it so much I had to stop only …

Cool cover, huh? And it matches the first book. Extra cool! Anyway, I love this: Kitty, the country's only celebrity werewolf,gets subpoenaed to testify before a Senate hearingon supernaturals. What could possibly go wrong? LOL! Have you guys read the book? The answer's in there!…

Pac-Man We all remember this game, right? Back when going to the arcade was actually fun because we didn't have as many mediums as we have available today. I was never good at this game, but it was still fun to play! Those ghosts sure are cute too! :)

4am seems to be some kind of bizarre trend. Yeah , woke up at around 4 ish again early this morning... except this time I ignored the stirring of wakefulness and forced myself back to sleep. It worked too! Yoga helped too. It's amazing how much easier it is to get through the day…

Okay, I've spoken a little about this book already but now that I've finished it... I'm gonna talk about it some more! :) A little from the actual website: ' The Madonna Key series, launching in July 2006, consists of seven Silhouette Bombshells recounting the adventures …

Yeah, I thought I'd post something a little earlier today. The hubby gets out of work earlier nowadays and with my daughter home she starts asking for snacks at around 3:30pm - when I usually start my post. Anyway. Since I haven't done much writing during the last few weeks, I'…

Yeah, I haven't even posted a real post all week, have I? The b-day weekend was really nice. Relaxing, fun and filled with reading. Pretty much the same now. I'm about 60 pages into the first Madonna Key book, Lost Calling . So far so good. Catrina Dauvergne isn't your conve…

You all remember this guy? LOL -- it's none other than ALF ! I used to love watching this sitcom. And even though looking back I can remember just how corny and silly it was, it was still fun for a kid to watch. I'm not sure I could sit through any of the episodes today, but t…

The cover for this book is absolutely gorgeous, don't you think? I read the blurb for this book ages ago and have been waiting im patiently for it since. It was released in June in the US, so I ordered it online and got it a week later... but by then I was in the middle of writing my…

I've been waiting a whole year to read this book. So it was no wonder that on Friday morning I found myself grabbing it off the bookshelf and getting stuck into it. There are a whole bunch of other books that have been waiting longer, but Stephanie Plum won out. And it didn't di…

I went through a lot of phases as a kid and teenager... especially when it came to music. I slipped from one genre into another pretty quickly, but the phase I stayed in the longest and still enjoy listening to today is hard rock . There was a lot of teased hair and hairspray. Some of…

Okay , I've been meaning to read this book for several weeks. I even read the first three chapters... but like always, when I get stuck into a first draft I get so involved that reading takes a backseat. I got stuck into this book during the weekend and finished it this morning. I ha…

As mentioned last week, I present She-Ra, aka Princess Adora. From Wiki : The premise of the show is that She-Ra, whose secret identity is Princess Adora, and her friends must free Etheria from Hordak and his evil Horde, after realizing her true destiny through the help of her brot…

Let me start with: "By the Power of Grayskull! I have the Power!" So... do you know who today's pick is yet? That's right... He-Man ! Man, I used to love watching this show every morning before school. I thought it was the coolest, and back then, …

Ooooops, I almost forgot again... Anyway, since the World Cup's going on at the moment my pick is: Wiki stuff: The 1984 European Football Championship (Euro 84) final tournament was held in France . It was the 7th edition of the European Football Championship , held every four ye…

YAY for AUSTRALIA! Last night, the hubby convinced me to stay up so we could watch Australia versus Japan in the World Cup . And well, I was less than entusiastic because it meant a pretty late night... yet, as the match moved along, I found myself getting so involved... it's usual…

Okay, so I was lucky enough to be chosen as one of Michelle's viral bloggers for her upcoming book Angel With Attitude . I got to read it several weeks before its release... which is great! Valerie Grace has fallen from Heaven and she doesn't know why. She finds herself stuck as …
