Sexual: Shameless on Showtime

I'm a little behind the times on this one, but one of my all-time favorite tv shows, Shameless, is coming to Showtime! Shameless has been on Channel 4 in the UK for ages, but only the first season is available on dvd in the US. From Shameless I've developed an obsession with British TV and a near stalkery love of James McAvoy. Ahhhhhhh...is it gross to want to lick somebody's face? I do, I want to lick McAvoy's face. The dude set to play McAvoy's character in the Showtime edition is Justin Chatwin (pictured). I'm not real familiar with this guy, but if he doesn't bring the McAvoy hotness to the show, I'm going to sell my Weeds and Californication dvd's. Take that Showtime! Also set to star are William H. Macy, Allison Janney, and Emmy Rossum. For more information on the show http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/television/news/e3i76276580006fdf756a5647251574ed25.

It's Book Club Time!!!

Today we’re reading Tempest Rising by Nicole Peeler.

Jane True lives in small town Rockabill, Maine, a town whose claim to tourist fame is Old Sow, a giant whirlpool off the coast that creates rare tidal phenomena. Jane has lived as the town pariah for years: her mother disappeared when she was six, she supposedly contributed to her boyfriend’s death eight years ago, and she loves to swim in the ocean no matter what the weather conditions. After the mysterious death of a visiting writer, who Jane pulls from the Old Sow, Jane is visited by a gnome, a kelpie, and a big dog that can talk named Anyan. She’s told that she’s half-supernatural/half-human. Her mother was a selkie, a being which can take the shape of a human or seal. Since the supernatural community is investigating the death of the writer (he was a supe as well), they send Ryu, a vampire investigator, to question Jane. Luckily, Jane and Ryu get along very well and the book takes off into a new world that both Jane and the reader have the pleasure of experiencing.

This supernatural dramedy is well-written, funny, full of interesting and odd characters, and, the best part...hot sex. Mmmmmmm, I highly recommend you put this on your reading list. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

Please turn to page 132 – beach picnic, skinny dipping, and an extremely steamy shag (sans sandy hoohah).

Please turn to page 208 – bath sex: “...there are indeed some bath toys more exciting than a rubber ducky.”

There’s plenty more shagging in this book. I don’t want to ruin all the sexualness for you. Read it yourself.

The next book, Tracking the Tempest, is due out in June of this year. It’s on my Amazon Wishlist. This book gets 4 out of 4 Libby nods! It more than fulfilled expectations. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Fat Suit Poppy

Watched a kickass movie on Lifetime the other day: Lying to be Perfect with Poppy Montgomery. It’s a modern day, mid-30’s, overweight Cinderella story. It has a really cheesetastic message of “Be all that you can be!” and “Dream big!”. However, there’s a hot guy in it, and, my favorite...wait for it...a makeover! I can’t tell you how much I love a good makeover in a movie.

Poppy works at Shine!, a celebrity gossip/fashion type of magazine. After having her talent ignored at work and no sex life, Poppy and two of her good friends make a “cinderella pact” to get hot. You watch the hotness unfold as Poppy magically sheds her fat suit and changes from an overweight frump who eats powdered doughtnuts in public (everyone knows you eat powdered doughnuts in the privacy of your own shame) to a sassy, confident woman with good hair. She meets a scorching dude, who also happens to be rich. All in all, her pact to get hot works. If you happen to come across this movie in the future, I’d highly suggest giving it a watch. It’s one of those rare, happy Lifetime movies in which there is no murder, rape, cheating, wife-beating, or ugly male lead. Well played, Lifetime, well played.

It's Book Club Time!!!

Today we’re reading “Original Sin” by Allison Brennan.

I picked this little gem up at CVS. I was attracted by the shiny cover, like a retarded moth to a bug zapper. I should really listen to that crap about not judging a book by its cover.

Quick plot summary: Moira is a demon hunter, and she is presently hunting her witch mother, Fiona. Fiona has loosed the seven deadly sins on the world in the form of seven really bad demon dudes. Moira and her crew have to catch the demons and send them back to hell. In “Original Sin” they catch Envy, only after it has wreaked havoc on a small town in California.

This book is lame. The characters are all fucktards and the storyline is crap. I want to hit Moira in the face every time she is in a scene. She’s supposed to be a badass, but she’s just a whiny little bitch with a chip on her shoulder (her mom raised her to be an evil witch, but she doesn’t want to be an evil witch...boohoo). Moira has an unexplained sexual thing going on with Rafe, an ex-seminarian who knows demon language. They have a random make-out session after Moira kills a demon. I didn’t know that killing demons was sexual? Gross.

My main concern with the book is that one of the characters, a lady sheriff named Skye, keeps using the word “woo-woo” as a term for anything supernatural. I grew up in a family where “woo-woo” means vagina, so I kept getting confused. Example: Skye says, “You’re getting woo-woo on me...” I think, “Gross! Someone is putting their lady bits on the poor girl!” Note to the author: Never, ever, use the term “woo-woo” again. You sound like a fucking preschool teacher.

SEX SCENE ALERT! Turn to page 246. Anthony, a demonologist, and Skye, the small town sheriff, have kitchen counter sex. Not exactly sanitary, but nothing a good antiseptic won’t take care of...maybe...can you get e.coli in your privacies?

This book gets ½ out of 4 Libby nods. It’s unoriginal, I want to bitch slap most of the characters, and I’m pissed that there are probably going to be six more of the damn books in the works (the next one is “Carnal Sin”... the plot is easy to guess). I can only blame myself for this one. The shiny cover offers an apple of knowledge. Tempted, I took a bite and realized I was better off not knowing. This book is a sin.
