Lots of exciting, busy-inducing things going on around here. And guess what? I’d rather be reading this book:

cover-perfectchemistry

Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. It’s a YA and OMG it’s so good. The writing, the characters, the chemistry between them, just…dreamy. And real. Gritty real. And wonderful. I highly recommend it.

How about you? What are you up to today?

p.s. – Fortune’s Chance is #9 on the MBAM bestseller list. Go me! And thanks to everyone who’s bought it! I hope you enjoy it (chews on nails nervously hoping they really do enjoy it).

I talked about buying this book back in June! I admit, I started it, got a little bored and stopped. It got shoved to the bottom of my TBR pile and when Christmas vacation started up, I pulled it out and told myself, “Self, finish this. The third one is coming out in January and let’s see if you wanna read it.”

OMG. Rumors was so good. Like I mentioned it started a little slow (so did Luxe) but once I got involved, whoo doggie I couldn’t stop reading! I love that cover. It gives me a little thrill whenever I pick it up and look at it (that gorgeous red dress!).

And now that I waited so long (six months!) and finally finished the book well I don’t have as long to wait for the third book to come out! It’s available at the end of January and seriously I CANNOT WAIT.

Look at that cover! Lovely. I know most people are obsessed with Twilight but this is my YA series of choice. I wish I had someone to discuss it with (because I CANNOT BELIEVE how she ended Rumors OMG OMG OMG). I am buying Envy as my early birthday present (next month woot!) – I hope I can wait until January 27th…

Is there a series or book you just finished or are still reading that you are positively devouring? Share!

And I’m talking about my, ahem, to do list. Accompanied with photos. You know you wanna check THAT out.

I might be gone for a couple of days. Forgive me. Son is graduating (eighth grade, sniff sniff, getting so old, sniff sniff) and I’ll be busy doing family stuff for the next couple of days. Oh and reading.

Because I bought this:

Photobucket

I can’t wait to start it.

And just because…

Photobucket

A picture of Shia. Damn it okay yes, he’s my boyfriend hero in my book I’m working on. And I love my hero! I love this book I’m writing! I think I’ll share a photo of the woman who has inspired my heroine…later…
