following is barnes and noble's synopsis of graveyard games...

Dusty, on forced leave as a police officer, returns home for her twin's funeral to find local authorities aren't being upfront about her brother's death. Her focus fixes on Shane, her brother's best friend. Sparks fly and while Dusty finds herself sinking in deeper with Shane, the mystery of what happened to her brother, and an ever growing list of victims, grows even stranger.

i actually LOVED this book! i thought the characters were very personable and real.. but yet, upping the real factor.. just unpredictable enough to be fun! when i began this book i thought it would be your average run by murder mystery... but JEEZ LOUISE.. i might have been WRONG! i really am not going to say a lot for fear of giving it away.. but if you like a real great spooky thriller.. seriously, go find this bad boy! and but of course.. got a nook app?... you know it! with a nook or nook app it IS free!!

oh yea! hope you guys have a fabulous weekend.. see ya monday!!

Gargoyles by Alan Nayes

2011-10-21T13:29:00.000-04:00

following is what barnes and noble has to say about gargoyles...

With the recent completion of the human genome project, speculation on future genetic research has run wild. Most people fear what might happen once humans have the ability to create perfect children. What will it mean when the human race no longer has to deal with natural imperfections-when science can be used to eradicate disability, disease, unique features, asymmetrical faces? But little attention has been given to the other possibility of such research: what will happen now that the human race may have the ability to create perfectly imperfect children? The research industry-and the human race-may never be the same.
Brilliant pre-med student Amoreena Daniels needs money desperately. Her mother is dying of metastatic cancer, and the medical insurance has run out. When told of a new cancer study that offers some measure of hope for patients in her mother's condition, Amoreena is thrilled-until she realizes that the treatment will cost $30,000. When a seemingly legitimate women's clinic offers Amoreena $50,000 for service as a surrogate mother, Amoreena thinks her prayers have been answered. But then-much too early-her baby begins to move.
The strange dreams, another surrogate's mysterious death, and a drug-addicted former medical intern confirm Amoreena's worst suspicion: there is something terribly wrong with her pregnancy. Amoreena embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth behind the endless battery of genetic tests, sonograms, and frightened patients, only to discover that she has unwittingly become a pawn in a high-stakes game of biomedical experimentation.

this one was SOMETHING else! totally action packed.. fast paced.. and way illogical you had to believe it could truly happen! it was written awesomely... and with an interesting topic... i'll so be checking more into this alan nayes! go on.. check it out.. it WAS free with a nook or nook app after all!!!

happy happy weekend guys... hope your weekend is as lovely as ever!!!!!!

sweet sleepy bella!!

still loving this pixlr-o-matic droid app! pretty cool i must say.. and isn't she just lovely! for once she didn't turn her head at the last moment.. bring her paws up to get my phone.. nah! this time.. she just sit there all pretty and lovely... well, at least i think so!!

nail inc.- london!!

2011-10-18T10:35:00.000-04:00

this is just cool.. cool.. cool!

saw this in Cosmo a couple of weeks back and didn't think MUCH of it... but then while plundering about on sephora i came across it again... read into it... and oh my! i will SO be trying these out!

basically it's a magnetic nail polish that allows you to make your own abstract looking nails! the bottle comes with a nail magnet.. and when you open the bottle you sit that aside... then you polish your nails as usual.. after polishing (you do need to hurry a tiny bit so they don't dry) you hold the magnet over your nails for 10-15 seconds and then waaa-laaah!! you've got subtle cool waves of nail art!

pretty cool.. don'cha think??? you can find it here.. to read more or to order.. i WILL be getting me some of this.. and don't you worry... when i do i'll post a review of how well it works!!

dash of rainy fall...

2011-10-13T07:00:00.000-04:00

bright young things!!

2011-09-30T11:24:00.000-04:00

following is barnes and noble's synopsis...

The year is 1929. New York is ruled by the Bright Young Things: flappers and socialites seeking thrills and chasing dreams in the anything-goes era of the Roaring Twenties. Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escaped their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis. All Letty wants is to see her name in lights, but she quickly discovers Manhattan is filled with pretty girls who will do anything to be a star. . . .
Cordelia is searching for the father she's never known, a man as infamous for his wild parties as he is for his shadowy schemes. Overnight, she enters a world more thrilling and glamorous than she ever could have imagined and more dangerous. It's a life anyone would kill for . . . and someone will.
The only person Cordelia can trust is Astrid Donal, a flapper who seems to have it all: money, looks, and the love of Cordelia's brother, Charlie. But Astrid's perfect veneer hides a score of family secrets.
Across the vast lawns of Long Island, in the illicit speakeasies of Manhattan, and on the blindingly lit stages of Broadway, the three girls' fortunes will rise and fall together and apart. From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Luxe comes an epic new series set in the dizzying last summer of the Jazz Age.

normally i'm ALWAYS real big into thriller.. mysteries.. you know, that sort of thing. but when i downloaded this bright young things for my nook it was being FREE and the cover that made me give it a whirl. i know, i know.. how shallow am i... sometimes i DO totally judge a book by it's cover!! and though this is normally not the genre i go into.. i really LOVED this book. it was very fun, very interesting, very enlightening (i learned quite a bit about the roaring 20's!!)... and if it seems just a little interesting to you.. seriously, try giving it a whirl! it's book number one in a new series... and i appreciated the book so much i'm thinking of buying number two!

happy friday kids... hope you have a fabulous weekend!!!!!!!

rainbow in my eyes...

2011-09-28T14:56:00.000-04:00

2011-09-23T07:00:00.000-04:00

happy happy friday kids... hope your weekend is wonderful!!!

wet 'n' wild.. fast dry!!

2011-09-22T07:00:00.001-04:00

friday night while buying a groceries i spied this hot pink polish from wet 'n' wild... it was like, maybe a buck fifty or so.. so, eh! was i REALLY wasting much if all it was is a pretty color???

my verdict: LOVE IT!! yea.. no kidding! for one thing.. the color is beautiful- a lovely vibrant hot pink.. looks amazing on my toes. another thing... a couple of hours after polishing my nails i had to scrub some pots that wouldn't fit in my dishwasher... after washing and drying i spied my nails... and oh! lo and behold.. no cracks.. no chips.. no nothing!!! come next grocery trip... i'll so be buying a few more shades! cheap and pretty and lasting... wonderful...

fancy foot work!!

2011-09-21T07:00:00.001-04:00

i am a total newbie... i have NEVER seen one second of an episode of this show. and... to say the least, i was NOT disappointed at all. are you a 'dancing with the stars' addict??? are you a faithful friend?? after watching the premier... i think i defiantly will be!

who am i rooting for?? i say.. either david arquette or j.r martinez...!
what about you??

ransom x

2011-09-20T07:00:00.000-04:00

following is what barnes and noble has to say about ransom x-
Martin Legacy was a top field interrogator before his life was shattered by a random crime. He withdrew to a basement post in the FBI, developing a mythic reputation as a brilliant malcontent. An agent brings him an active case. An abduction ring is preying on young women, using them in adult films and ransoming them for the price of pornography. Legacy is willing to leave the basement for this.

this was a darker book than i normally choose to read.. heck! read the synopsis and you get it it! but.. i am so GLAD i chose to carry on with it. some scenes are quite graphic, and sometimes the book gets a tad hard to muddle through.. but, i still loved it. it IS free at barnes and noble so... can't hurt to give it a whirl! great book... i totally recommend it...

i’m addicted to my nook.. my cat.. all my bags.. red lipsticks.. anything purple.. and defiantly my husband.. oh yea.. green beans too…

i hate being cold.. judgy people.. jerry springer.. hospitals.. bad weather.. starless nights.. sweeney todd.. animal/ child abusers…
