Wow! There are so many great books coming out today I have a few of them of pre-ordered and I might go search my local grocery store to see what books they got in. <g> If you live near an actual book store, treasure it! ;p I have to search my grocery store, Walmart and Target to see what I can find. My closest book store is 2 hours away from me… *boo* Well, enough complaining! There is so much to be grateful for today. One of the things I’m thankful for is how many book releases there are. I love choices and today is a  veritable smorgasbord (does that make you think of the rat Templeton from Charlotte’s Web? Yep, me too.) Click here to go to the list of 150+ books out today. I would love, love, love it if you would drop me a line if I’m missing a new book. Please Contact Me with new book release info… even ebooks, though the database still doesn’t include those, it’s coming soon-ish :p

I read Fifty Shames of Earl Grey by Andrew Shaffer last night and laughed my fool head off :p I was recently approved to request books from NetGalley to review new books *woot!* and this title was the first one I requested. I’ve been looking forward to this book since I read about it  from Andrew’s hysterical tweets  in March. He was giving a twitter review while he read Fifty Shades of Grey and made a joke that he should write a fanfic of the novel. Dreams can come true

This book is a celebration of the ridiculous! It amused me and made me laugh out loud throughout the parody. I have not read the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy, yet, but it seemed that Andrew took those novels, Twilight, popular romance fiction tropes and various pop culture icons and shook them up… rather like taking a soda bottle and shaking it to watch the foam spray on everything. The writing is clever and witty and educational! I had no fracking clue there were so many euphemisms for reproductive organs *snort*  I whipped through this book and recommend it if you are in the mood to be entertained by the absurd. I would read a sequel if he writes Fifty Shames in Space. *snicker* I can’t help thinking of the Muppet’s and “Pigs in Space”

I’ve been in the gorgeous state of Maine for the last 3 weeks and we are leaving tomorrow and heading back to Colorado. I was trying to think of a fun way to say goodbye and post some pictures and today I went to a cute bookstore in Yarmouth called Royal River Books to meet Steph, a new friend and book blogger from http://fangswandsandfairydust.com/ She is so nice and snarky and smart and reads a ton! Check out her site Oh! She gave me books! *sigh* I <3 Steph! That girl definitely knows her way to a bookaholics heart. <g>  Anyway, while I was browsing the shelves I saw a children’s book called Goodnight Maine in the store. It’s a state specific take on Margaret Wise Brown’s classic Goodnight Moon. I amused myself tonight by coming up with a silly rhyme. That doesn’t always rhyme… But I had fun and get to show you my pictures. And I did mention books :p

Here goes….

Goodbye Maine

Goodbye blue gray ocean

Yay! It’s Tuesday. *dancing* I love Tuesdays! It’s my favorite day of the week because of all the new books and it’s one of the reasons I launched this website. So I could see all the new books and search them by date. Please click here to see the 100+ print titles out today I still don’t have ebook only titles listed and I am beginning to despair of my database ever getting everything I want *sigh* if you happen to be a programmer and want to help? :p Oh! please do contact me if the New Fiction Release database is missing a book and I will try to correct that.
