Also, a chance to photowhore my curly hair. 
This was one of my many glorious birthday acquisitions, and so far it's not half bad. Then again, considering the accolades spattered across the damn thing like so much demented flair, it had better be above par. I'm enjoying it so far (the first chapter was a real mind fuck). Has anyone else read this pu Add Comment The BiblioBabes love them some Martin Lastrapes. 'Cus he's cool, and funny, and nice, and handsome, and... oh my God, HE'S SO DRRRREEEEEAAAAAMMMMYYYYY. Do you think if we wrote him this mash note asking if he liked us he'd circle yes? Or DOUBLE circle yes?! Ahem. But besides all that stuff, he's also an accomplished writer. Like, big time. So here's a link to one of his badass articles - 5 Movies That Feel Like Novels: PART ONE 
Swoon. I am uber UBER stoked for this post! Miss Roxie, one of the most awesome ladies we have ever had the pleasure of corresponding with (and one of our Book Revolution winners, to boot!) sent me a book from my Amazon Wishlist for my birthday! And it was a book I've been hunting for for frickin' EVER. Thanks for sending out The Killer Inside Me, Roxie! And now I have something for you! I did mention that if someone sent me something from my wishlist I'd do a Naked Reading Sunday, so here it is homies:   It was all I could get before my camera died, ha ha. But it works! But that's not the most epic part of this post. Oh no. See, since it was a babe of the lady variety who sent me a present, I figured I had to do something a little bit extra special. So I convinced my husband to do a Naked Reading Sunday shot, just for you, Roxie:  Thanks a million, Roxie! And thanks everyone for all your radness!  It's a sad sad Tuesday May 8th, because Maurice Sendak - he of the skilled writerly ways and epic quotes - passed away early this morning. Maurice was the shiz, and you can read our previous article on him HERE. RIP, Maurice Sendak. Now you're in writer Heaven. Which is like regular Heaven, but with more booze and yelling. And hookers. I'm pretty sure on that. We've ranted and raved about Martin Lastrapes and his book Inside the Outside, many many many times before. Well, we have heard it through the grapevine that he is working on a new novel *squeal* and that Exciting Press has signed him to a deal for his short fiction *Congrats!!*  If you haven't read his book yet, shame on you! But you have time to redeem yourselves by buying and reading it already, sheesh. The Kindle version is even on sale, now you have no excuses. Exciting Press has written a piece on him that you should also check out. The BiblioBabes are even mentioned in it!! Thanks for the love Martin! Xx ps. CAN'T WAIT TO READ YOUR NEW BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!!! Hey, man! We know it was your birthday the other day, so we wanted to send you some extra special birthday love :) I would have read you a naughty fairly tale, but I was afraid it would have been too hot for YouTube to handle ;)  K Bannerman is a Canadian author whose book, The Firs Song, I read, reviewed and loved. Her new book Bucket of Blood is out and I'm very excited to read and review it! "Lizzie's mother is dead, and left in the care of her prim older sister, the 15-year-old fears her carefree ways are over. But when tragedy strikes again, Lizzie discovers a sinister web of lies and deception, of murders past and present. Fierce resentments and racial tensions boil beneath the illusion of civilization. Soon, Lizzie finds herself ensnared in a secret that stretches from the opium dens of British Columbia and the alleys of San Francisco to the jungles of Panama and beyond -- and it's a secret that the murderer will do anything to protect." Below is a clip of K Bannerman reading an excerpt from her new book. Enjoy! Xx K Bannerman has a blog that you can check out here. I love Anne Rice. Not only is she an INCREDIBLE author, but she is an exceptional human being. Here is her talking to George Strombolopolous about the current vampires and werewolves in TV and cinema: As most of you know, every month we celebrate our love of books by giving a FREE BOOK to the winner of our Book Revolution. Anyone who submits a picture of themselves with their favourite book is entered, and we send the winner one of our most loved novels. This month it is Clive Barker's The Thief of Always. If you are interested in entering, send your picture to Contact@BiblioBabes.ca. This next picture is our third entry for February. It is from one of our favourite peeps and long time supporter ANDREW!  "Here's my current read. "Fun & Games" by Duane Swierczynski. Its the first book in a trilogy. Its a fun, easy, fast read. It reminds me of early James Ellroy. Its set in modern day Los Angeles, and opens up with a car chase. Its about an ex-cop who now takes housesitting jobs for those who live in the Hollywood Hills. He get mixed up with a woman targeted by a hit squad who murder people by making their deaths appear accidental. Its an action movie in literary form, and I'm enjoying it very much. I'm looking forward to reading the second book." We love you Andrew! Thank you for the picture! So a while back we read an amazing book Inside the Outside.  Both Kat and I wrote reviews praising it and continue to urge people to read it (do it!). As we soon found out, the author, Martin Lastrapes, was as badass as his book. Truth. And so we have kept in touch with him, via Facebook and Twitter and are very happy for all of his many successes. So the other day he tagged us in one of his Facebook posts. I opened it today and this is what I saw: 
*Peeing in excitement* In a talk about being an Indie Author he gave The BiblioBabes a shout out! WTF! Life is good man, Life is good. *Fist Pump* | Daily RadnessHot babes, lovin' literary bits and bobs.
