BBC America's critically acclaimed sci-fi thriller Orphan Black: Season One arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray on Tuesday July 16th, 2013 starring Tatiana Maslany ("Ghost" in Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed), who recently won a Critic's Choice Television Award.

Tatiana Maslany plays Sarah Manning, a young woman who grew up as an orphan and is now a con artist/thief. She's in shock when she witnesses the suicide of her look-alike Detective Elizabeth "Beth" Childs, whom just happens to leave her purse containing her identification. Being a con artist, Sarah takes over Beth's identity, mostly to clear out Beth's bank accounts before the authorities learn of her death; plus, Sarah is trying to runaway from ex-boyfriend. She hopes the money is enough for her to start a new life with her seven-year-old daughter, Kira.

The longer Sarah stays as Beth, the more dangerous her life becomes as she learns there are more look-alikes, a housewife, a science nerd, and a crazy assassin. Allied with her foster brother, Felix, and two of her chameleons, Sarah is determined to figure out what is going on and who she really is.

For anybody who hasn't read my post from last week, I started the new Nutrisystem 5-Day Jumpstart Your Weight Loss Kit, which is currently available at nearly 2,000 Walmart stores around the country. If you're like me, then you've probably seen the advertisements for the weight-loss program on television countless times. Now, everybody has the chance to join the NSNation and try the meals for five days for only $44.98.

Day one stared with the granola cereal, which I added some fat-free milk to it for breakfast. Plus, I had a cup of low-fat yogurt. For a morning snack, I drank a cup of fat-free milk. For lunch I had the red beans & rice witch chicken sausage in a spicy sauce (it’s in the above picture) with an extra smartcarb of rice. My afternoon snack consisted of one apple. My dinner consisted of a lasagna with meat sauce (look at the picture below) which I added a side salad, one slice of toast, and another 1/2 cup of rice. Dessert was a chocolatey nougat bar with peanuts and caramel.

I have a slight problem with procrastinating! Does anybody else having this problem? I keep putting off my fiction writing; I mostly complain that I don't have enough time to write, when I have plenty of time. It only takes five minutes here and five minutes there to begin a short story or novel.

I received Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Writers in the mail on Friday and I'm about half way through it. The stories are written by writers (bestsellers and newbies) & even bloggers. The forty-four stories I have read so far have really lifted my spirits and have given me new encouragement to begin a daily writing routine, even it if is only fifteen minutes. Blogging and writing reviews doesn't count!

My plan is to start my daily routine today!

Review:

I do enjoy a good historical novel, which is one of the many reasons I wanted to review Though My Heart is Torn by Joanne Bischof, which I received free of charge in exchange for my honest review. I did miss out on reading the first book, Be Still My Soul, in The Cadence of Grace series, but I thought I would give the book a try.

Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains in the early 1900s, Lonnie has finally found the happiness she has always dreamed about with her bluegrass musician husband, Gideon O'Riley. Her love for the Lord has finally caught a hold of Gideon. Everything seems to be going great until they are forced to return to Rocky Knob, where Cassy Allan claims to be Gideon's rightful wife.

As Gideon's past mistakes come to light, Lonnie must continue to have faith in God if she wants to save her marriage.

I like using Rafflecopter for all my giveaways because you can easily add a "like" Facebook page and follow someones twitter. Plus, it will randomly pick a winner for you.

It doesn't seem like it has been twenty years since the Power Rangers were first on television, but the franchise will officially turn 20 this September. Over the last six months, I have had the chance to review several of the Samurai DVD titles from Lionsgate. I guess you can say I got in the mood for more Power Rangers, so I ended up buying the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Complete Series a few months back. Yes, I do realize the seasons' volumes have been slowly coming out on DVD, but I was interested in the two bonus discs that only come with the complete series.
