I Scream, You Scream by Wendy Lyn Watson

Isn't the cover yummy looking? I'll admit that it was the cover that drew me to this book. Yep, I'm a foodie and I pick the books I read by the cover, especially if there is food on the cover HAHAHA

Anywaaaaay, I picked this up before Christmas when I signed up for Book Chick City's mystery challenge. Yes, it's a mystery not a romance. And it was pretty good. Tally Jones is accused of killing her ex-husband's new girlfriend. So we follow Tally as she uncovers who murdered preppy Brittanie. We meet lots of people and find out little secrets about all of them. I think the secret that hurt the most is when she found out her high school sweetheart, who just moved back to town, had slept with Brittanie as well. It's probably irrational of me to think that hurt the most, but here's my reasoning....Tally already lost her husband to Brittanie and now she finds out Finn slept with her too? In fact, when Tally finds out this tidbit of info, she runs away from Finn. And I know exactly what she was feeling....why can't she have a man in her life that hadn't slept with slutty Brittanie? And the kicker is that Brittanie is like 24 while Finn and Tally are in their late 30's and the ex is a few years older than that! Yep, that broke my heart for Tally.

So, the killer is not who I expected it to be and I was a little disappointed by how we found out. Maybe I'm just not used to reading mystery novels. But all in all, I enjoyed the book and would read another one by this author. Oh! And there's a recipe for ice cream in the back! YUM!

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Lover Unleashed by JR Ward

Are you reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series? If you're not, can I ask why not? And if you're not, I'm going to tell you that I think you need to stop reading this for a few minutes and go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or some website and either buy you a paper copy or download a copy of Dark Lover and start reading the series (This is a series that HAS to be read in order). This can wait. Go do that and then come back and see what I'm going to say. So this was book 9 in the series. Payne and Manny's story. And while we got their story, I felt it was eclipsed by Payne's brother Vishous. I love getting lost in the Brothers' world. When I open the book and start reading, my children and home all fade away and I'm in Caldwell with them (is Caldwell, NY a real place?). We got introduced to some new vampires in this installment and that was pretty cool. There was NO Lesser pov here and that was more than pretty cool. Just between us

Is it Supposed to be Chewy?

Good Morning! Yes, I'm one of *those* people. The ones who are unusually happy and greet everyone with a "good morning". I use to teach with a lady that would look at me and say, "It's just morning. There isn't anything good about it cause we're at school." I'd just smile in response. Because, really? What is there to say to that? So, I said I was going to try oatmeal this morning. And I have. And the jury is still out on whether or not I like it. I know, you're wondering why I'd try oatmeal if I don't like it. Or better yet, you're wondering how I've never tried oatmeal before. Well, let me explain... I'm a Southerner. Born in southeast Texas, raised in coastal Louisiana, currently shacking up in Alabama. I joke and say you couldn't get much more southern than me since I'm from below I-10 (if you don't understand that, look at the map up there). In fact, I've never lived north of
