Monday Musings and Paranormal TV Shows July 26, 2010

Who watched the new season of Being Human that started Saturday on BBC?

I did- it was OK I can't say I was overwhelmed by it George sure was being an ass until he found out what was going on. And then the addition of religious fanatics....really? Like the religious fanatic storyline- you know the one where the fanatics going around killing and torturing those who are different all in the name of god hasn't been overdone a gazillion times. Seriously- something new please.

I also watched the other paranormal offerings- Haven on Friday night on SyFy which has really piqued my interest with the "troubles". It's all so vague yet just enough to hook you in.

Then The Gates is getting a little more interesting on Sunday nights on ABC.

True Blood felt a little off to me this week. It's like they concentrated on making it "the bloodiest episode ever" and while doing that they forgot to add something interesting to the story because nothing "real" happened. You know nothing that really furthered the storyline it was about all "trying to escape" and"trying to go somewhere". It set up a bunch of new story lines that will probably be followed in future episodes but this one just left me hanging in a way that didn't leave me satisfied.

True Blood usually delivers the goods in a way that's like good sex- you are like "wow, that was awesome, when can I have more"

This weekend the Got Books Event was a huge success- thank you to all that dropped by to enter.

In September I will be hosting BlogFest 2010 and Blogmania- both of which I am still accepting donations for if any authors would like to donate books, swag, etc.

This week at Fang-tastic Books I have a lot of reviews going up and some other interesting blog posts. There will be a Free Book Friday but right now the giveaway is even a mystery to me since I have not chosen a book for it yet.

Well, that's about it for now I got tons on my mind so I have to go deal with some unpleasantness and then get to work on my book.

Got Books Event Closed

OK the Got Books Event is officially closed and I am now going through all the comments and entries and will be selecting a winner later today.

It was a hugely successful event- I now have over 630 followers, lots more Facebook friends, and more Twitter followers. I also think the Got Books Event had more entries than any other contest here at Fang-tastic Books has had. That's so awesome.

Now I am off to sort through the entries, add up all the extras and toss them to the randomizer and pick a winner.

Good luck to everyone, be sure to drop back by in a couple hours and the winner will be announced.

Then we have Burned by PC and Kristin Cast

Things have turned black at the House of Night.

Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered. With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast. It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her. But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampire High Council stipulates. And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left…

Enter BFF Stevie Rae. She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own. The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences. Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good. The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.

In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it). She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not. Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance.

Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned.
