Short
attention span, what I will appropriately refer to as SAS from here on
out, is something we all seem to be suffering from in this new age of
technology. We are constantly checking email, texts, Twitter, Facebook,
and various other social media apps to keep up with what's going on in
the world, and to shoot a line to our favorite friends. As a result, we
have all been prone to those moments where someone is talking to you
and you check out....mostly in mid-sentence...before they complete their
statement. HEY, are you with me?? Celie and I have these moments OFTEN
when discussing a book!
Well a while ago, we discovered the wonderful Darynda Jones and her Charlie Davidson Series. For those of you who are familiar with Charlie, you know she's ADD and often drifts off into her own world while others are talking. As with each chapter in a Charlie book, Darynda starts them off with some crazy bumper sticker or T-shirt tag. Well color me happy when she plugged a T-shirt known as Oh Look! A Bird! to describe SAS moments. Then I found this picture over at LOL WTF Comics Blog and thought it was the perfect introduction to our OH Look A Bird Moments Feature.

Soooooo,
I'm a therapist and Celie is a nut so we thought it would be cool to
give you guys a post mid-week to tickle you pink and make you laugh.
Since laughter is good for the soul, we decided on a post we'll call WACKY WEDNESDAY!
At some point we will make a banner and something super cute, but Rock
Chick cool ....that is when I figure out this whole HTML, CSS crap!
This week's picture made me laugh out loud because my first thought was
of Tack from Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley.
LMAO!
This was funny to me because I live with 3 guys and all 3 will get the
hell on if they see a spider web, and after I yell.......REALLY! my
hubby will come back and get rid of it for me. Happy Hump Day Chickies!
What's up Chickies! this week our quote is from Claimed by Rebecca Zanetti. This is a scene between Dage and Emma.......
That scene is H-O-T, hot! Whew, off to find the hubby........Laters Chickies!
"He stilled, then plundered. No softness, no seduction, just pure, raw need. He tangled a hand in her curls and tilted her head to the side for better access, the hand on her ass clutching hard enough to bruise. One quick shift and he impaled her, driving in balls deep." ~ Dage to Emma, Claimed by Rebecca Zanetti

So Celie and I have been thinking of ways to make things a bit interesting while also considering what we typical like in the blogs we stock, and we came up with the idea of doing a monthly segment of "Rockin Releases" where we highlight a few of the books we will be anxiously awaiting and unashamedly stocking for. Soooooo without further ado here's what we are dying to get our hands on for the month of August.
Any Kristen Ashley book is a Thick Chick's version of a triple chocolate hot fudge brownie sundae on a true PMS day! We love all things Kristen Ashley and I can't wait to get my hands on Rock Chick Revolution. Unfortunately, that damn Celie has been a thorn in my side, and placed me on Kristen Ashley restriction because I have devoured several of Kristen's books and she is quite a few books behind. Anyways, I'm excited and sad all at the same time because Rock Chick Revolution is the final book in the Rock Chick Series and features Ally's story. Since I'm still trying to read Luke's book (thanks Celie), I have no idea who her beau will be but I still can't wait!!!!
Up next for us is Chloe Neill's Biting Bad. We abso' love, love, love Ethan and Merit and can't wait to see what's going down in Chicago with the Cadogan House Vampires. In the last installment lots of developments happened, and I can't wait to find out what's going to happen with the Red Guard and how Cadogan House will move forward after what happened at the end of the last book. If you love loads of twists and turns, with lots of actions and a bit of romance, check out Biting Bad, which releases of August 6, 2013.
This next book belongs to a series that we have always listened to via audiobook. Ilona Andrews just released the next installment in the Kate Daniels Series called Magic Rises. This was one of those series that we kept hearing all of the hype about but never picked up until late last year and when we did we are ashamed to admit we put it right back down because we couldn't pronounce half of the words in the book and it just made our brains hurt (giggles). Well we eventually had the brilliant idea of listening to the series rather than reading it and boy were we in for a treat. It is read by Renee Raudman and she does a fantastic job of portraying the characters and drawing you into the storyline. This one has already been downloaded and we will definitely be listening to this one soon.
Our final pick is a series that has been on our must read list since we started our romance book obsession and that's the Lords of the Underworld series. Darkest Craving is book 10 in the series and features Kane who houses the demon of disaster. Reading this one will be interesting considering all the rumors floating around that Gena has embraced Christianity and changed her usual writing style. Personally, this one does not fall into my I am so a groupie category but it is a book that I will eventually read just to see what developments take place with the overall storyline.
These are our picks for the month of August and we hope you will check some of those out with us and leave us a comment to let us know what you think. Until next month......Rock on!
