Sorry... :(

Hey everybody!!

 I know I've been out for most of last week and it will be a little longer until I can fully get back on here and give ya'll the attention deserved.  I've had some medical issues come up this past week and will be under the weather most of this week and next week.  I'll be back at the end of the month or as sooner if possible!   I'm sorry and I'll miss ya'll!

Thank you,

Ashley

Monday Funny!!

I wonder how many times this had to happen before they put up the sign? hahaha

Music of the Heart by Katie Ashley

           

Katie Ashley has done it again.  Her writing just blows me away at times.  Her stories are always intense and heart warming. She has an amazing talent with words and putting them together to help draw you in. 

Jake is your egotistical bad boy rocker and he's not use to being told "no!"  But under that bad boy rocker's wall is a soft hearted man wanting to be loved and to love.  When he meets Abby, he's not sure what to think.  He realizes very fast that Abby isn't your typical girl and she's not a groupie.  She actually is everything he would want in a girl... The kind of girl he would want to bring home to his mama.  But can he keep her after screwing up time and time again?  Can his Angel save him?

Abby isn't your everyday kinda girl.  She's talented with music, actually cares about people (even ones she's never met), and she has love to give.  When Abby firsts meets Jake... let's just say she was in for a surprise.  As she gets to know him she sees past his walls, and see's the man inside.  Though he screws up and even tries to push her away several times, it doesn't change her love for him.  But is her love enough?  Can she save him? 

                            
Here's a little something extra for ya'll.....

This book is amazing and it had me laughing and crying at the same time.  I couldn't put it down, nor did I want too.  This is a must read and I will be owning it in paperback as soon as/if it comes out.  I will be recommending to all of my friends... because I just loved these characters.  They had a real connection and Katie did a wonderful job laying it out to where you could actually feel their connection.  This will be a book I turn to again and again.  

Katie Ashley's Bio:



These things always sound overly pretentious, don't they?
*Strokes chin* What to say about me?!!!
Anyway, I was born and raised in the burbs of Atlanta. I'm an only child with a large extended family much like the one in My Big Fat Greek Wedding...except we're Southerners.
I have a BA in English, a BS in Secondary English Education, and a Masters in Adolesecent English Education. I've been teaching English for twelve years in both middle and high school. I've also taught adjunct classes at a local college where I had students waaay older than me, and that was a weird one!
I'm also a former cheerleading coach. Nothing teaches you about life quite like being stuck on a bus with a squad of fifteen year old girls!! 

Question....

Okay, so I have a couple of questions for ya'll... Please feel free to comment or if you don't want to comment you can send me a email at ashbug6499@hotmail.com

    What kind of things would ya'll like to see on my blog?  Besides reviews and such?

    What kind of give aways would ya'll like to see and participate in?

    Would you like to see sneak peeks from Authors?

    What about a guessing game of sorts... Like a passage from a book and you guess what book and author? 

Think about it and let me know.  I'm really interested in everything ya'll have to say. 

Thanks for ya'lls help,

Ashley







   

Flat-Out-Matt by Jessica Park

                 

Oh wow! I just love Matt and Julie. I really think that they are one of my favorite book couples. He is just so sweet, thoughtful, attentive, smart, funny, and the list just keeps going! reading in his POV just added something extra to their story and Jessica Park out did herself! She is an amazing auther.

Julie and Matt may have started off with a lot going against them but when they are able to get through those difficulties and see their true feelings for one another, the reader is able to feel the connection between the two as well. If you haven't read "Flat-Out-Love" yet then you need too and then read "Flat-Out-Matt" because you won't be sorry. You'll fall in love with all the characters of this book and want more.

This book is a short read but worth every cent you pay for it and every minute you spend reading it.

Jessica Park's bio:

Jessica Park is the author of the young adult novels FLAT-OUT LOVE and RELATIVELY FAMOUS; five Gourmet Girl mysteries (written as Jessica Conant-Park); and the e-shorts FACEBOOKING RICK SPRINGFIELD and WHAT THE KID SAYS (Parts 1 & 2).
Jessica grew up in the Boston area and attended Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. After spending four years in the frigid north, including suffering through one memorable Halloween blizzard, Jessica hightailed it back to the east coast. She now lives in (relatively balmy) New Hampshire with her husband, son, bananas dog named Fritzy, and two selfish cats. When not writing, Jessica indulges her healthy addictions to Facebook, Rick Springfield, and super-sweet coffee beverages.

Late "Monday"/ Tuesday Funnies and a Teaser!!

Okay so I'm late with my Monday Funny so I'm making it Funnies by giving you more than one funny picture and a teaser from Music  of the Heart by Katie Ashley.  Hope ya'll enjoy!! 

Okay so this one makes me think of my sister's cat Rascal.  He's a evil fat thing and only likes me when he has too.  Next time I have to "babysit" him for my sister I may try this... (my evil laugh inserted here) BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

This is so me and my friends... :)

Now for the teaser portion of this blog......              

"Well, if you don't need anything else, I guess I'll go back to bed."  When I started to my roost, Jake grabbed my arm, pulling me against him.  "Sleep with me," he whispered in my ear.
  I jerked away, ready to launch into a tirade for him playing on my emotions to put the moves on me when the tormented expression on his face stopped me cold.
  He stared pleadingly into my eyes.  "I'm still so fucking scared, Angel.  I need someone just to hold tonight so I won't be alone."
  I had to fight to catch my breath.  How was it possible that the broken, vulnerable guy in front of me and the cocky, self-absorbed Jake infuriated me were one in the same? 
  "No funny business?"
He shook his head.  "I swear."

hmmm, I wonder if Jake can keep that promise?  go get the book and find out! 

What is everyone reading today?  Or something good you've read lately?  I'm always looking for new reads. 

Saving Us by Jennifer Foor

                  

As Conner and Amy hope for a future together, they are faced with troubles standing in their way.
With a baby in their near future, Conner takes charge and will stop at nothing until he can claim Amy as his, forever.
There is only one thing stopping them...
Amy's ex.

This book is intended to be read in order with the series. It may contain content that is not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. It contains strong sexual and other adult situations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     
Jennifer does it again! Saving us is everything I expected and more.  All of her characters have chemistry that you can actually feel and boy oh boy do you feel Conner and Amy's connection to one another.  This book starts off where book 5 "Wanting More" left off.  The different twists and turns in this book keep you on the edge of my seat and glued to the pages.  I was pleased with how this book turned out, and each of those twists and turns would floor me time and time again because I wouldn't be expecting what would happen. But to me that only makes a book better when you can't predict what will occur.  Those are my favorite kinds of books.  Amy and Conner go through a lot in this book but always manage to put there love for one another first... After a fight or two anyways and some steamy make-up sex (sometimes middle argument sex).  When Rick finally does make his appearance both Connor and Amy will stop at nothing to save the ones they love and they get help in the least likely of places.  

     The side characters in this book, Colt, Van, Ty, and Miranda help make everything funny.  With those four and add Conner and Amy to the mix, you can expect a good laugh every couple of pages.  And they don't disappoint one bit.  I know one thing I would hate to be on the receiving end of their pranks... But then again, I don't think I would ever want to make Mrs. Foor mad either ;) , she seems like she can come up with some pranks.  As all the other books in this series, it will not disappoint and is well worth the read.  Conner is as cocky as ever and Amy is a stubborn and sassy as ever and I'm sure you'll fall in love with them even more.  

PLEASE READ THIS SERIES IN ORDER or you'll spoil it for yourself.  

Now here is a little about Jennifer:

A Maryland native who spends most of her time
devising a plan to live off the land on some remote island, where no one will ever find her.

She is a married mother of two kids, who may or may not drive her completely bonkers. In her spare time she enjoys shooting pool, camping and spending time with friends and family.
