Love and Lists by Tara Sivec Release Party Giveaway!

10/01/2013

Love and Lists Release BlitzThere is a party in my pants for the release of Tara Sivec’s Love and Lists!

pants_party

If you guys don’t know this already, I have a major girl crush on Tara Sivec. I created Wicked Book Weekend last year so I could stalk meet her. There are not too many women I’d make out with, but yeah, Tara and I made out at the next event. With tongue. And Mr. Ana watched. (It’s been 3 months and he still brings it up lol)

The Chocolate Lovers Series by Tara Sivec is my favorite book series EVER. Scary things happened to my body. You can read about my vagina incident  that happened while reading Seduction and Snacks.

My favorite character in The Chocolate Lover’s Series was 4 year old Gavin. When I read the books, I swore that Tara had hidden cameras in my house because my kid and Gavin are the same child. Since my son grew up with a brother 8 years older, big bro loves to teach little bro how to be completely inappropriate. It’s like a game to him. Add to that ME (queen inappropriate), and you’ve got the recipe for a Gavin. My kid loves to make penis comments. A lot. And I posted photos of him on a stripper pole yesterday, so you can see, 12 year old boy humor is my favorite.

See the entire Chocolate lovers series with links to my reviews here

Also available now: The Chocolate Lovers Series ALL TOGETHER in one super special edition!!!!

Chocolate Lovers: Sweet Stories About Love, Friendship, and Inappropriate Behavior

Purchase Chocolate Lovers on AMAZON

Well, Love and Lists is the first in a spin-off series called Chocoholics. Gavin is no longer 4, he’s 25!

Love and Lists Tara Sivec

anas_attic_book_blurb_bar_01

Love and Lists is the first book in the Chocolate Lovers spinoff – Chocoholics: The foul-mouthed offspring tell their stories.

Twenty-five-year-old Gavin Ellis has always had the love and support of his family ever since he was a little boy and couldn’t stop talking about his penis. He’s also always had their unsolicited advice and uncanny knack of embarrassing him at all costs. Now that he’s an adult and trying to convince the love of his life to love him back, things haven’t changed very much from when he was younger.

When Gavin’s best friend Tyler suggests he make a to-do list of items that will ensure he wins the girl, Gavin is one-hundred-percent on board: after a few six packs.

After puking in the shrubs, a bad experience with Viagra, a Sex-Ed course gone wrong, and a slew of other mishaps courtesy of his family and friends, Gavin is pretty sure this list will be the death of him.

Sometimes, trying to make someone love you with a list isn’t always the best idea. Especially when “Show her your penis” is the first “to-do” item…

🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥 If National Lampoo 🎄 FUN, FESTIVE, AND FILTHY! 🎧🔥If National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation were a spicy romance, I imagine it would look a lot like Christmas Staycation by Meghan Quinn!I had SO MUCH FUN with this audiobook! 😂 The humor is completely juvenile, the family is chaotic, and Nolan has absolutely NO FILTER. Seriously, that man’s mind lives in the gutter, and I loved every minute of it.But underneath all the dirty jokes and Christmas chaos, there’s a surprisingly swoony romance. Nolan may be a walking sexual innuendo, but his sweet little gestures and golden retriever energy totally won me over. ❤️And the AUDIO! 🎧 The full-cast duet narration was fantastic. Shane East as the story’s narrator, especially when the characters start interacting with him, made the whole experience even funnier. Kelsey Navarro Foster and Brandon Francis were amazing as leads and made me wonder why I don’t see them used more. Swipe through for the tropes, some hilariously filthy quotes, my quick take, rating, and all the audiobook details!If you love outrageous humor, holiday romance, and a hero who has never met an inappropriate comment he didn’t want to make, add this one to your Christmas reading list!🎄 Full review with likes & dislikes at anasattic.comHave you read Meghan Quinn’s Kringletown Christmas books?

Add in some adorable animals, a little mystery, and plenty of spice, and I was happily back in Evergreen Falls!🎧 Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon lead an amazing full-cast duet narration that makes this story even more fun. I seriously can’t imagine experiencing Lauren’s books any other way!If you love grumpy/sunshine Christmas romances, add this one to your holiday listening list!
I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth I love how the narrator and Nolan break the fourth wall in the Kringletown books.  Make sure the sound is on so you see what I mean. Christmas Staycation by @meghanquinnbooks had me laughing out loud! Nolan is a goofy immature perv with loyal, sweet and loving acts of service, and I am totally here for it. My full review is on the blog (link in bio). Meghan has been a long time favorite author, and she just keeps reinforcing that status! Grab this Christmas romcom on audio, the full cast narration audiobook makes it a full experience you don’t want to miss!Note: this is the Walmart special edition paperback.

Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. Go see YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING in the theater ASAP. This movie was fascinating. It’s long and you won’t want to get up so make sure you pee, pick a comfy theater, and don’t drink your whole bucket of soda. I didn’t think I wanted to see a documentary in the theater, I was wrong. Sold out theater and nobody got up during the whole 3 hour film. Everyone in the bathroom was saying how great it was and how much they had to go the whole time lol. It still has a 98% RT score.
