Oh and I enjoyed last weeks WHAT ARE YOU READING AND ABOUT TO READ session almost as much as our week before set of questions we all answered. You guys reminded me of books I want! Kenyon’s Devil May Cry! I forgot this one! BUT –WHY WHY WHY in hardback! BOO! So expensive. I also grabbed the second book in Cristina Dodd’s paranormals when I swore no paranormal until I finish this Blaze I am writing! I am bad bad bad. I know. Books are my obsession.
And movies! — I am so so behind on movies I am going to see one tomorrow night. Maybe two! We want to catch Harry before its out of the theatres and that new Kevin Bacon movie looks good!
Okay TWO contests! I have author copies of EXCLUSIVE! I have one to give away! Not even in stores yet!

I don’t usually get to see movies before the are on dvd, but the last ones I saw were Transformers (Awesome) and The Bourne Ultimatum (awesome too, with a hot guy). Matt Damon makes fighting look so very hot.
Some of my favorites are older movie, The Boondock Saints, Snatch, Pirates of the Caribbean, and anything with Zombies (like Shaun of the Dead, Day of the Dead, everything with Dead in it lol)
And… Jaci Burton, Eden Bradly, and you are three wonderful writers. Considering how much I have loved everything else written by the three of you, I have no doubt in my mind that Exclusive will deliver three great stories that leave me wanting more.
:D
Loved Bourne. Missed Transformers and hate that! I bet it was so awesome on big screen! Diego loves zombies lol and my son has watched Snatch and Fight Club a million and one times!
If you want too see a funny movie, see “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” I don’t know if it’s still in theaters or not, but its very funny. At first I didn’t think it would be, but it really busts trhough the normal stereotypes most film makers use when casting gay characters. I really liked it.
As for the new book, I know its gonna rock! All three of you are such awesome writers!!!
Well, I’m not a huge movie watcher, however I probably mentioned here if it caught the right time that I’ve been reading Jane Austen’s books over the past few months, finishing the last, oh last week I guess — but I’ve also been watching the movies right after. I HATED the 1999 Mansfield Park. All I can say about that one is. . . huh? Still love 1995 Pride and Prejudice. . . and all the rest that I caught are in between. :) Alas, with all I saw, I still have to catch a few more. LOL Maybe one of these days. :)

I’ve you just want a good laugh watch Wild Hogs I saw on dvd it was funny not really for kids but just for a laugh
Yes very cute. A good easy movie that lightens the mood. It hit the spot the night I saw it. I needed a chuckle
We usually wait for the DVD’s to come out. Wild Hogs was a great movie if you want a good laugh. There is just not that many great movies anymore. The Illusionist, The Prestiage, and the Gridiron Gang were all good movies.
As far as the authors you mention I have loved all of the books that I have read of yours, great authors. You guys don’t realize what you do for us readers. You give us a place to escape when things are not going good for us. When we are down of bored you give us a different world to live in, a different place to visit. Keep up the good work.
The last movie I watched (on DVD) was 300. If you like inspiration by way of uber delicious eye candy…that’s the movie for you!! It’s a little gross at times, but all the men sporting Speedos and 8-packs makes up for the headless bodies. :)
I will be completely honest and say that I’ve never read anything by Jaci, but I love your work and I “know” Eden from Romance Divas. She’s one sassy girl! :)
Sally thank you on my books:) Jaci and Eden are fabulous. Great ladies too! 300 YUM! I have to agree on all points! Those abs….
For the good movie list, I would add:
Pathfinder with Karl Urban, Premonition with Sandra Bullock, and The Last Mimzy. The three that my kids dragged home this summer that I would pass on:
Apocalypto, Hannibal Rising and Hills Have Eyes 2 (boring, gross, sickening).
I am a big Jaci Burton fan and loved Surviving Demon Island and just started Hunting the Demon. She writes amazing plots with great adventure, suspense and romance throughout.
I saw both of these and liked them! I did laugh when they had a house dog at the Indian reserve considering the year but I forgave them because the rest was so intense and good! And I love Sandra Bullock!
About LRJ:
Her award winning company LRJ Staffing Services had offices all over Texas and in Nashville and was recognized by Entrepreneur magazine in 1998 as one of the top ten growing women owned businesses.
As for movies any movie with Sandra Bullock; how about The Lake House.
I read Jaci’s Wild Wicked and Wanton and am so glad that she gave Mike his story!!!WWW was so great and I really want to know what happens to Mike!! Yours and Eden’s stories sound great too! I read your excerpt on Jaci’s blog and can’t wait to see what happens next!! I love when great authors have a book together!!
Movies…Let’s see..I agree about the Kevin Bacon one..it looks really good. 3:10 to Yuma, Sept. 7, looks good too..I mean the Old West and Cowboys!!Who couldn’t love it!!
Congrats Jenny! Lisa, Jaci, and Eden, I love your books! They are awesome! I don’t know on the movies, it’s been forever since I’ve been to the theater and I usually wait till the movies come on tv. I do want to go see the new Halloween movie.
Diego is dying to see Halloween! I’m not but he will make me I know
wtg wiiners
the book looks hot. just renting movies this weekend,.
read first hunting book by jaci, second looks great.
I’ve only rented Wild Hogs on dvd this last week and a movie I will buy. I didn’t think it would be that good but I loved it.:) I laughed through the whole movie. I wont spoil the movie but I enjoyed the camp and pond scene with the cop.
I enjoy reading Jaci Burton print books. I like her series books.:) I love when an author brings back people from older books. Sounds crazy but its like you can find out how they are doing after you read their books.lol
I’m waiting for your Beast Within book to come out in November. You teased us with the book and we have a long wait until we can read it.lol
Congrats Jenny enjoy your prize.:)
We watched Wild Hogs in the hotel room at RWA and its really cute. A good steady laugh ! And I am sooooo excited about Beast Within! One more month and it will be up for sale at Harlequin. I should get my copies soon
Congrats Jenny!!
As for good movies, I really enjoyed an indie film called Once about two Irish singers creating a song. Great soundtrack for it too. I also liked Bourne Ultimatum. Out of all the threequals this summer, this was the best of ‘em.
Love Jaci Burton’s Demon series and am going to read the second story of the series over the holiday.
I like the new look and the smile faces.
First off I love your work and Jaci Burton. I don’t know about Eden Bradley.
The last movie I seen was the last Harry Potter that came out. We are planning to see 3:10 to Yuma, I here it’s going to be good!
3:10 to Yuma does look good doesn’t it. I absolutely love Christian Bale! He was also very good in Rescue Dawn which came out two months ago. But then he’s good in all his movies.
Happy Holiday to everybody!
I have not been to see a movie in forever but everyone who I know has been to see it highly recommended Transformers.
As for the three authors your books are great Lisa. I read Jaci’s book Surviving Demon Island and enjoyed it. Have not gotten Hunting the Demon ,which was just released, yet but I intend to. Have never read anything Eden’s so I can’t comment about her work.
We just watched Wild Hogs last night, and laughed through out most of the movie. I love William H. Macy’s character!
Hard and Fast is next in my TBR pile and if the cover is any indication it is gonna be HOT!
I’ve never read anything by Jaci or Eden, but if they are associated with you they’ve got to be great
, so I’ll add them to my must have list.
And I love the new look of the blog!!
