Lauren: Gorgeous cover model

Maryse: Agreeeeeeed!!!

THREE THINGS:

1.) I’m addicted to Homeland!!! Holy moly how have I never watched this show before? Oh yeah… I didn’t have Showtime and now I do. And YAY!! I have 8 seasons to indulge in (I’m already on season 2). IT IS AMAZING!!! INFURIATING & TENSE!!! It’s all the way from 2010, (and usually I’m “meh” about old shows but this one displays perfectly, excellent quality, and the actors are amazing (Clare Danes!!). It’s no different than as if it was created this year, I promise. Nothing dated about it at all. Watch it if you haven’t. 😀

2.) My man went on a fun offshore fishing trip with his sons, and came home with Kingfish (which we promptly smoked and turned into an amazing fish dip to put on crackers), and snapper. 🙂 I love fish (especially Florida fish, so I will eat well over the next few weeks. Yesterday was pork spare ribs and corn on the cob and roasted potatoes and tonight will be baked snapper and veggies and rice!!

3.) JULY AMAZON FIRST READS ARE LIVE!!! AND WE CAN SELECT TWO OF THEM!! I chose a romance (by Rebecca Yarros!!!) & a women’s fiction (“There’s No Coming Back From This) both sound INCREDIBLE!! What did you choose?

How about you guys?
