New Release by J.R Ward

I'm just slightly late on this post but I think everyone will forgive me. 

The beautiful and wonderful J.R Ward has released her newest book in the amazing Black Dagger Brotherhood series. 

For those who like Paranormal Romance or hell if you just like Paranormal books this is the series for you. 

J.R Ward is having a signing event this weekend in Cincinnati, Ohio that I will sadly not be attending. I wish everyone that is going, a great time and I can't wait to see pictures. 

The woman is not only a genius with words but she's also hilarious. I loved seeing her at the Karen Marie Moning signing a couple years ago and I can't wait to be able to go to another event again. 

HAPPY READING EVERYONE!!!!

Karen Marie Moning Book Signing 1/24/15

I really meant to post this sooner lol. I've been riding on this really great high since that Saturday.

Most people, I think are like me. They think that when you make it big that the person stops caring about the little people that helped them get there. In fact, I'm finding out that the exact opposite is the truth.

My husband, two friends of ours as well as myself obviously lol, went to Newport on the Levee Friday night to get to this signing. Five hours of driving in snow lol so much fun.

We got there about four in the morning Saturday, maybe a little later because it's harder to drive at night than it is in the morning. The men dropped us girls off in the line then went back to the car to crash.

My crazy ass stood in line in the cold until 9 am when Barnes and Noble started handing out the bands for the Q&A with Karen Marie Moning and J.R Ward.

They started sitting people at like 12:15. I am happy to say that I was number 33 so my seat was safe lol. I was so excited though, my friend Jessie told me it was like watching her kids at Christmas. THe excitment was just too much to contain. Then when the authors started talking I was much farther than cloud nine. 

J.R Ward is too funny and it was amazing to just sit back and watch. Jessie egged me on saying I wanted to raise my hand but with this being my very first signing I was happy to just listen. 

There's a website called PopWrapped that did a coverage on the Q&A. It was an amazing job so you may want to check it out. 

Karen was very personable with her audience as well. My phone had died before the signing but when I went up for her to sign my book she said she liked my outfit. 

I may not have had a camera but I will NEVER forget that moment. I don't think that I can even look at that outfit the same ever again!!!!!!

Totally T'd Off Right now

I just spent over a half hour on the phone with Barnes and Noble, literally just now.

I have been a frequent customer of theirs for over ten years now and this is the first time that I have ever had a problem with them.

Burned came out on the 20th, like just in time for the signing Karen Marie Moning is holding on the 24th. My husband loves me, and he pre-ordered it for me on the 15th of December. Because however we are only a one income household, I couldn't afford the expedited shipping just the standard.

I never got any notice about the book at all from them so when I hadn't gotten a notice I got curious. When I logged onto my account today though I was shocked.

The book seriously will not get here until I'm on my way home from the signing. So naturally I start panicking. I don't buy hardbacks, they're just too expensive. COme on this one cost me $20 bucks and it's not even signed yet.

Get my head on straight and a recommendation from my Aunt and my mom, I call Barnes and Noble. I was on hold most of the freaking time, it's ridiculous. It's like they put you on hold to get rid of you. If they leave you there long enough you'll just hang up.

I get a nice foreign girl. Can barely understand her, that pretty much says she can't do anything. That's the first 15 minutes. After that I get transferred to a supervisor.

I don't want much, honestly I don't. All I wanted was either to have the book intercepted and taken to Murfreesboro or just give me a small discount on the book because I have to get my husband to take a whole day off of work to take me an hour and half out to get a new book.

It's not really a whole big issue. Of course though there is nothing anyone can do. Go figure, my once in a lifetime shot is close to becoming one of my biggest breakdowns all because I'm poor basically.

My husband is the only one that works and we had to money into the car to be able to make the trip. Now lets go to the hotel costs and food. Plus now another hour and half's worth of gas and another 20 for another book.

You know being poor sucks because of things like this. You must have to hit the lotto or something to be able to afford to go to a signing
