Random: Linger Contest!

Linger Cover LargeIn Maggie Stiefvater's Shiver, Grace and Sam found each other.  Now, in Linger, they must fight to be together. For Grace, this means defying her parents and keeping a very dangerous secret about her own well-being. For Sam, this means grappling with his werewolf past . . . and figuring out a way to survive into the future. Add into the mix a new wolf named Cole, whose own past has the potential to destroy the whole pack.  And Isabelle, who already lost her brother to the wolves . . . and is nonetheless drawn to Cole.

At turns harrowing and euphoric, Linger is a spellbinding love story that explores both sides of love -- the light and the dark, the warm and the cold -- in a way you will never forget.


Comes out in stores everywhere July 20th. Pre-order here.

Enter to win an advanced review copies of LINGER, Sisters Red, The Dead-Tossed Waves, and The Replacement on Maggie's blog.

Valentine's Day: The Movie...Review


Today was Valentine's Day.
Well technically, since I am writing this at 1:38am on February 15th. Valentine's was yesterday.
However, I just got home from my little V-Day outting were we went out to eat some delicious japenese food and catch the 10:20pm Valentine's Day Movie showing.

I didn't really have any expectations for the movie.
I just wanted to see it for various reasons.
The only one you need to know about is summed up in two words.
Taylor. Lautner.


*Team Jacob. FTW.*


So, when we sat down to watch this movie I didn't have any hopes. I just knew there were a lot of actors/actress' I liked, acting in it.
I wasn't however expecting it to be funny.
Light-hearted, dramatic, tear jerker, and angsty... yes.
Funny, maybe a little.

I left the building very surprised. I really enjoyed it. The creators spun a web of stories that all connected together nicely. It made me laugh (really loud), it made me cry, it broke my heart a little, and of course, made me say "aw".


The majority of my favorite parts would be the scenes with Queen Latifah and Anne Hathaway in them.
I don't want to spoil their parts because the "shock" factor has a lot to do with its hilarity. 



Ashton Kutcher was in this movie the most (his character links a lot of characters together). His relationship with Jennifer Garner's character is really sweet and loving. There were a lot of *sigh*/*aw* moments between these two.


Although Julia Roberts was not in this movie that much, I have to say her characters story is really cute and not what it seems. I loved her character and how she got to her ending. ADORABLE!


Anywho, I will leave you with this.
I am not going to give this movie a rating, like I do with books. 
However I will tell you that it is very good. It has a great mixture of all the ingredients that make an excellent date movie. Grab your gal pals or your man and head over to check this movie out.
Very much worth it.

Until next time,
-B-

The Question Room - Coming Valentines Day!

Coming Valentines Day!


Okay, so this story that I will be posting is new for me. It is going to be my first Edward and Bella Fanfic and I am so nervous about it. Seriously. There are some hardcore E/B fans and I am scared as hell of them. (lol)

The Question Room
-Summary-
Do you believe in Fate? Was it Love at first sight? Do you love him? Will you Marry me?
These are questions that will be answered in The Question Room.
Bella who is constantly surrounded by happy couples is having trouble believing there is someone out there for her. Her heart has been broken and her spirit defeated. Is she destined to always be alone?
Edward who is engaged to the girl of his dreams, works with his father at their family practice, and seems to have a bright future ahead of him, still feels as though he is missing something in his life.
This is a story of Love, Loss, Fate, and Questions that always need to be answered.

AU/AH  E/B  (more than likely Lemons)

Coming Valentines Day!



xoxo

p.s. Tell me what you think of the Summary... Sound interesting?

Things I Love - One

To kick things off with this blog of mine, I will be posting "Things I Love" entries every now and then. These post will consist of my latest FanFiction obsession, Blog that I love, Funny crap I have found, and other random odds and ends.

Enjoy!




I must admit, I found this lovely blog from a friend of mine (JackieOrionCat). However, when I visited this site I felt as though I had just won the jackpot! She does amazing reviews on amazing fanfictions! Hell, she even had an interview with Angstgoddess003. There are so many goodies on here. I try and visit AT LEAST twice a day (just to make sure I didn't miss an update).
Anywho, go check this blog out. You won't be disappointed.




Just Wait by InstantKarmaGirl
Summary - AH AU OOC In a world saturated by vices, Bella is forced to move in with her father to avoid the repercussions of her past deeds. But after she meets the socially withdrawn adopted son of the town's doctor, will she allow herself to open up and heal?
Rating - M

Not really going to give you a review, BUT I HIGHLY suggest that if you have not already began to read this heart breaking, gut wrenching, beautiful, heated, lemony, divine, wonderful, tragic, and amazing story. Then you need to seriously jump on this band wagon. No lie.
It really is an amazing FF and its one of the rare ones that I hold up really high. 
The summary really doesn't give you much, but still... go read it.
Seriously.







Oh. My. God. Cupcakes.

So, in light of the upcoming commercial holiday (the one you KNOW I am talking about).
I am going to share this DELICIOUS cupcake recipe I found a while back.

If you know me well, then you know I love to bake (or cook). I am always wanting to bake something delicious for my friends.
This coming Valentines Day, I am baking up these bad boys.

I won't describe how yummy they are because the use of words such as moist, tender, delicate, creamy... all remind me of a very lemony fanfic. (*teehee - I did a dirty joke*)

Just trust me.
Bake these up for your man (or yourself) and you will have a very very happy Valentines Day.



That is it for this "Things I Love" post.
You will be hearing from me soon!

xoxo

Fiction Snapshots

Okay.
So after deciding that I wanted to post goodies for my fanfictions I am writing, it became a hassel to try and post them on my actual FanFiction.net profile.

Hence why I am creating this blog.

Quick. Easy. Organized.

Three words I love to hear.... (god, I could make a dirty joke with that)

I will be posting snapshots of things I found useful for the chapters I post, music playlists, maybe throw in some interactive stuff...
whatever my little heart desires.
I mean, it is MY blog after all.

Anywho, follow if you wish. Or not.
