My Answer: 

 I've received several bound galleys over the years. I can't recall the name of the book or the author, but I believe the first one I was sent was a Harlequin book. I don't recall what the book was about.

 

The Rewrite

Now available to own on DVD is the action-comedy sequel Bad Asses On The Bayou. Directed by Craig Moss (Bad Asses), the film stars Danny Trejo, Danny Glover, John Amos, Loni Love. The only Special Feature is Behind the Scenes of Bad Asses on the Bayou.

After stopping a bank robbery, Frank Vega (played by Danny Trejo) and his best friend Bernie Pope (played by Danny Glover) become an internet sensation. Out of the blue, they receive a call from an old friend Carmen (played by Loni Love), inviting them to her wedding in Louisiana. Despite Bernie's objections, they pack their bags and head for the Bayou.

Shortly after arriving, Carmen is kidnapped and Frank & Bernie promises her father (played by John Amos) that they will find her. Using their old school methods, Frank & Bernie turns the South upside down as they search for Carmen.

Yes, once again, I'm a little late with this post! I've been busy for most the day and this post just kinda slipped my mind. I started out this morning with my first workout in the Insanity Max 30 program (yes, I'm actually trying this). No, I didn't pay full price (which is way over $100), but instead I purchased it on eBay at less than half the price. I was worried that I would have problems with my knees or get a few blood clots or something, but I made it through the workout just fine. Actually I maxed out at 7:01, which I've heard is good for a first-timer.

Later, I read the second book in the Journey of the Heart series (A Heart's Obsession) by Colleen Coble, which I'll be posting my review on here around the 10th. Then the rest of the day, I was just busy with other things. However, I did have time to watch the first episode of A.D. The Bible Continues on On Demand, but I wasn't too impressed with it.

Did anyone watch the return of Outlander? While I did like the episode, I think Starz could of toned down the sex scene. I was planning on reading the book before the last half of the season started, but I was too busy last week with spring cleaning, so I'm only about half way through it. Maybe I can finish it this month!
