Rob Zombie On CSI Miami

I had some trouble getting this video to fit properly but it is worth promoting my favorite singer. I love Rob Zombie he just rocks. I am not usually into his movies because they are usually just gross. I am excited to see he is doing an episode of CSI Miami. Just to tell you how much I like Rob my husband got me the new album for Valentines day and I it was one of the best gifts he could have gotten me.

Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews

I really can't wait for this book to come out. I really loved the first three books in this series. You can click on the titles for my reviews:
Magic Bites
Magic Burns
Magic Strikes

I loved this series because Kate Daniels is such a mystery. The forth book Magic Bleeds will be available in May which seems like a very long wait to me. If I had to pick my favorite series since starting this blog this would have to be it. What I really like about this series is that it has a lot of magic and mystery and proves that a book can be awesome without all the sex. I find a lot of the books I read are so full of sex that it takes away from the story. A properly placed love scene is fine in my book but sometimes they are just over the top and too much. Like long drawn out sex scenes in a teen novel. Sometimes it seems like the author didn't have enough material for this book so they but in twelve sex scenes. Okay maybe not twelve but I have felt like that in some of the Sookie Stackhouse books while I loved the books I could have done with half the sex or less. Don't get me wrong there is a love story brewing in these books it is done well and it seems to be moving along. I guess I like the girl who wants the man to chase her instead of the girl who hops in bed with every man she meets.

I also loved these books because each book reveals a little more of the power that Kate has. Kate doesn't know the full potential of her powers and she usually has to get into a tight spot before they manifest on their own. She is learning as you are learning and it keeps things interesting.

So if you don't own these yet head on over to Amazon or your local bookstore and pick them up!

Book Reviews Will Be A Top Priority This Weekend

So sorry everyone that I have not placed a huge priority on book reviews like I should have this week. I have been working on promoting both my blogs and have had a lot to say on my personal blog Sexy For Life. Please visit and let me know what you think. I have been focusing on my weight loss plan and living a much more relaxed life. I am trying not to worry about everything and make good decisions daily and that is a lot harder than it sounds. Once you have started making impulsive decisions it is hard to remember to stop and think about everything you do. I am starting with what I eat and what I spend.

I am going to keep a fund each month for books since that is something I really enjoy but I am going to be choosy and try to get through what I have before buying anything new except to finish a series I already started. I am usually not super impulsive with money so that is not going to be a hard one for me my two main impulsive buys are for books and at the grocery store.

I have spent a lot of time tracking my diet over the last two weeks and I am doing well but I always have trouble when I am not at home and there is food. So this is something I am struggling with right now.

I will work over the weekend to get the review for The Outlaw Demon Wails by Kim Harrison posted. I will hopefully have White Witch Black Curse also by Kim Harrison up shortly after that. Thank you for your patience as I work through my life issues.

Need Television and Movie Suggestions

I love to listen to books while on the treadmill but after a few days of having ear phones in my ears hurt. I have run through all the seasons of my favorite shows that I have missed for years. Netflix is awesome until you don't know what else to watch.

I have watched I like some of the crime dramas and have watched all the CSI's I care to I am also sick of Law and order. I really liked the paranormal stuff like Medium and I liked Moonlight. I am really up for suggestions I have even run through the anime I can find on Netflix.

I will still listen to some audio books but I need to be kind to my ears too.

Monday Rant: No Soliciting Sign

Okay I am so tired of the doorbell in the middle of my work out. So I need some help with a catch all sign. I would love to use a picture of my German Shepherd and use a quote from a Kim Harrison novel "Day-sleeper solicitors will be eaten" but that could get me sued.

I get kids wanting to shovel my snow or mow my grass, we do that ourselves. I get all kinds sales people and people pushing religion and politics. I don't want any of these people to come to my door. My husband works a third shift and he sleeps during the day. When the bell rings or they pound on the door my dog goes crazy baking and I really don't want to answer it in my work out clothes all sweaty. I want something that really gets their attention and then a list of who is not allowed to disturb me. I don't care if I have to print several sheet of paper and tape them to my outer door.

I have been known to let my dog out on the porch and let her bark while I talk to the people from inside but they just talk over her barking until she quits. She is really friendly and she calms down in a minute or two and the solicitors must be used to that. I really wish they would leave us alone right now the only people I can easily get rid of are people asking about home improvement issues. I just tell them I rent because I do rent this place but I own a duplex two blocks away.

Maybe it should say I am a nudist and I don't answer the door or I am a hermit don't disturb me or I am a serial killer don't ring the doorbell unless you want to wind up in my freezer. I don't like being rude but really who wants to be disturbed by a stranger selling something.

For A Few More Demons by Kim Harrison

For a Few More Demons is the fifth book in the Hollows series by Kim Harrison. I have reviews for the 4 previous books under the Kim Harrison tab in the side bar.

Now you are going to have to bear with me I have had some trouble remembering where books started and stopped since I read books 5-7 one right after another.

If you have not read the previous 4 books and don't want any spoilers stop reading now and start with the first book Dead Witch Walking. This is not a series that you can start in the middle without tons and tons of confusion.

The Focus an ancient werewolf artifact is now in Rachel and David's possession. Unfortunately it has some pretty bad side effects on the people surrounding them. Weres are being murdered and Rachel takes a run from the FIB to try and find out who is killing the weres and trying to make it look like suicides. She suspects they are being murdered in efforts to locate the Focus.

If that is not enough for Rachel to deal with Trent has asked her to work security at his wedding where Al shows up possessing a familiar body. Al the big bad demon is out to get Rachel and goes on a rampage in the streets of Cincinnati. They let Piscari out of prison to deal with Al and all hell breaks loose. The story isn't complete of you don't mention the crazy demon Newt who manages to escape the ever after and come after Rachel for something, but what even Newt cannot remember. Newt even has Ceri shaking in her boots the demon is powerful and insane.

There are some crazy plot twists in this book and a lot of people die including a few characters that have been around for awhile. This book is full of strong emotion and seems to be a turning point for Rachel. I loved this book I am giving it 5 stars out of 5. Kim Harrison is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors as I am loving the way she develops her characters.

I still have to mention I just love Jenks the absolutely hilarious pixie and as you learned in the last book he only has a life span of 20 years so I don't know that he will last till the end of the series and it makes me sad every-time Rachel thinks about it.

Celia's Puppies by Claudia Hall Christian

Celia's Puppies is the second installment in the Denver Cereal series. This book was great. If you go the book reading route and don't check weekly for new material at the website The Denver Cereal, beware that there are a lot of characters to keep track of. Since I do the book reading and don't go to the website to check for new material i found the nifty character guide extremely helpful.

There is a lot of life to the characters in this book and they are what makes it interesting. There is some action and some psychic phenomenon but mostly there are various love stories. These love stories are not limited to potential mates they truly encompass love in all its various forms.There are great stories of friendship and family as well as the traditional love stories.

So much is revealed in this book it is hard for me to write a summary that both does the book justice and not give away the many surprises.

Celia Marlow has been a dead but central character in these books. It was her love, care and psychic ability that have drawn the people in this book together. Even after her death she has a great impact on those she loved. She guides those who share her abilities even after her death.

There are several developing story lines in this book and it is hard to say which ones are most important. I would say Jacob and Jill are still the main characters as things all seem to travel on a winding road that always comes back to their story. Jacob is having trouble with his company's board of directors so he becomes distracted and Jill feels torn between her old life and the new life she could have. Jill's ex-husband threatens to take her daughter away and his new wife nearly kills her own sister. Even with all his distractions Jacob never gives up on Jill even when she thinks it could be over.

As you take the journey that Jill and Jacob lead you on you will find many other interesting characters like Mike (Jill's brother) and Val (Jacob's sister) who are also in love and have surpassed many obstacles to get to a place where they can be together. Val is a famous actress and they end up on Oprah when the news comes out they are married. You also find out that Mike is a great hero to the nation and a member of the Fey special forces team.

Many more characters are developed in this volume including friends and family of both Jill and Jacob. I have to say Claudia Hall Christian is very talented when it comes to character development and I will be following her as long as she is writing. I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
