Where would you go?


As the states begin to open up and life returns to some sort of normalcy, I started to think about vacation. I need one! From the move from West Virginia to Texas, the stress of packing/unpacking/tossing/keeping/donating my items, and my insane book release schedule, I am maxed out on stress!

So, my husand and I sat down the other day and decided on a couple of places to go, later in the year. It's nowhere SUPER fancy, but just a get-a-way for us two.

It got me thinking about where I would like to go, that I haven't already been and/or have been and want to go back to.

1) Nashville, TN
I have been to Nashville several times in my life and I swear every time I go, it's better than the last time. From the bars, food, music, and everything in between, I love it. Now, I don't think I would like to live there, because ... OMG ... it can be expensive. However, if you know me, I find the deals! (Thank you Groupon!) So, I am hoping to get back there soon and enjoy the city all over again.

2) Austin, TX

Okay, this one might seem strange since I now live in Texas. However, I have never 'explored' Texas and Austin has always been a city I have wanted to spend more time in. Why, you ask? For the food! No, seriously. I've read many articles about places to eat there and I want to eat at them ALL. Oh, sure there are other places to see, but I'm going for the food! (Just keeping it real! HAHA!)

3) Bath, England
I know you're trying to figure out ... why? It's because of my favorite author. Jane Austen. This is where the Jane Austen Festival is held every year. I really, really, want to go!! My husband just rolls his eyes and shakes his head. So, I'm pretty sure he won't be going with me. Anyway else want to go with me?

4) Oslo, Norway

I had a trip planned here one time before, but real life happened and I had to back out. However, I still want to go! I don't know what the pull is to this beautiful city. Maybe because I have never been to Norway? Mayber because I know people who have been there and have raved about it? Either way, I want to go.

Well, that's my list! Now, tell me yours!

My favorite movies and why I love them so much!

Image
I love to watch movies! Probably too much, but I love to watch movies. Like books, they can touch you in some way and impact your way of thinking. Some make you laugh; some make you cry; some make you think, and some bring back the best and/or worst memories.  Let's begin with my list ... 1) Harry Potter    I have loved Harry Potter since the day I read the first book, in the early 2000's. A friend had recommended it to me and from the first chapter I was hooked. I even have a HP tattoo! When the announcement came regarding the movies, my heart sank. Come on, we're all Boo Nerds and sometimes the movie just ruins it. (Need I remind you about Percy Jackson  ðŸ˜’😒😒 ) However, when the first movie dropped, I was there with my overpriced popcorn ready to be transported to Hogwarts! Needless to say, I love them. Yes, there are changes from the books to the movie, but not enough for me to really complain about. And I still watch them to this day!  2) Gone with

Book Review: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Image
    It seems like forever since I have written a book review. Do I even remember how to? Let's give it a shot!!! I received this book from my Book of the Month pick and am I happy I did. Wow, this book is a true page turner. I read it in one sitting.  What I loved: Taylor Jenkins Reid truly knows how to keep a reader engaged. I figure this book was going to be an Elizbeth Taylor knock off, but O...M...G... I was wrong! She shows us what one woman, Evelyn Hugo, has to go through to make it in the Hollywood world of the 1950's until present. It's not the hard work, the deception of others and Evelyn, the lies, the secrets, it is all the above. In this book there is a SERIOUS twist that I didn't see coming and truthfully ... I loved it. Evelyn has a lot of secrets and truly hides who she truly is. With each husband, you see Evelyn grow, mature, cry, love, hate, and continually push herself further and further.  What I didn't like: There is a jump in the timeline wi

Announcement of a New Series...

Since I started writing I get a crazy idea in my head and I jot it down on a post-it. (FYI: I love post-its!!!) Anyway, this one idea kept creeping up and wouldn't leave me alone. So, I brought it to my publishers attention and they agreed for me to publish it.  It's a series that deal with female issues. By that I mean, typical issues that I've lived through and others that I know.  Before I go to far in depth let me tell you about book 1. The titles will be 'different' but that is the point, right?! Book 1 will be called: I'm the Real Paige Crosby I know its a mouthful, but there is a purpose for it...promise! The series will be called: I'm Real Series .  Book 1 will deal with self-esteem issues. A small overview of the book is that Paige Crosby is overweight, and receives a big job opportunity. However, she doesn't think that she deserves it and hides in the shadows.  There is more to it, but that is just a quick note about
