You know when you want to be witty and fun and snarky and amazing...but all you have left is...well, a headache? That's kind of me today. Call it a sick kid, call it a pregnancy, but sometimes we really just have to take it easy if we want to keep going. I've been working hard toward my book release ON MONDAY!!! *gulp* And if allergies and exhaustion don't get me down, everything will even be done on time. So, since we're talking about time, how about some funnies?
And join with me in celebrating, because on Monday...
(Book release, FREEBIES, and giveaways.)
Ready to guess the lie and win a book?
Last week, Nicole Zoltack shared THE TEST OF TIME with us, along with two truths and one lie. Those who guessed the lie correctly were entered into a random drawing for the chance to win her eBook of MASKED LOVE.
Nicole's game:
1. Nicole is a better shot than her husband.
2. She likes to collect dragon, unicorn and horse figurines...and swords too.
3. She just tested for her yellow belt in Karate.
And the lie is:
#3. Nicole wishes. She would love to take karate, but actually, her oldest son just received his yellow belt. He can't wait to be able to try and break boards! He talks all the time about wanting to be the highest degree black belt there is.
Congrats Lori!
And now to today's feature:
Love, love, LOVE this cover! |
Only surviving isn't that easy. The hunt for blood can be tricky when humans know to fear the night. Desire sits on the edge of his mind, urging him to become the monster humans think he is. Vampire Forces, a special branch of police, is determined to turn every vampire to ash. Tommy included.
The only human Tommy can trust is his twin brother. A bond connects them, and with Danny's help, Tommy starts to understand the human world he struggles to survive in. He'll learn what friendships means and feel the sting of betrayal, find that sometimes the worst monsters are very human, and come to understand that family means more than blood.
Tommy just wants to survive and he knows what he needs to do. But with the number of humans that mean more to him than a meal growing, Tommy learns there's more to life than simple survival. He'll discover being human doesn't mean being a human.
Her favorite cheese is Mozzarella. It goes good on anything! Or alone. Although, she hasn't eaten many cheeses, so her palate is very limited.
You have until Tuesday, October 14, at 1 p.m. EDT to guess--and be sure to come back for the answer on October 15.
TRUTH OR LIE
1. In high school, Patricia enjoyed doing the high jump in track and field.
2. She can't crochet to save her life. She can make a biiiiiiiig, loooooong chain and that's it.
3. A hobby she recently got back into was jigsaw puzzles. She can do a 500 hundred piece jigsaw puzzle in a few hours.

Which is the lie? Which time travel device would you take? Are you picking up any vampire reads for October? What are you wishing you had more time for?
I'm so excited for you! Only days away! Thank you for the funnies. :) My guess for the lie is 2.
ReplyDeleteWe all need a few funnies to start our day Crystal... thank you for sharing and leaving me with a smile ♡ I hope you feel much better and very soon ♡
ReplyDeleteLove that cover, Patricia!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, Crystal. Don't overdo it.
YES, It's party time!! lol
ReplyDeleteCute baby. :)
You are so wise to take it easy for a bit so you'll have more of you later on. Great advice! I love that first image. Made me chuckle. Thx!
ReplyDeleteParty on ;) and mozzarella is the best cheese for us with limited palates :P I wanna guess 3! Being Human looks great!
ReplyDeleteI have some crackers to bring to the party! I hope your headache passes, your child gets better, and everything runs smoothly.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is 1. Maybe she did the high jump, but did she really enjoy it?
You have a lot on your plate right now, Crystal; but how exciting all this must be! Good luck with your book. I'm guessing #1. Have a great day ~ and take it easy on yourself.
ReplyDeleteHave no fear, Crystal. You can do it! I have faith (Maybe that's my lie. I'm kidding, of course. I have total faith in you.) Love the funnies. Give me the Tardis any day! And thanks for featuring me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I'd want a TARDIS if I was late to class. That thing is unreliable (it takes you where you need to be, not necessarily where you ask it to go).
ReplyDeleteLie...#1...
I'm also going with #1 - jigsawing is s formidable skill.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to turn down a time turner, but I can't turn down a Dolorean either. I can go back to last week and catch up on some stuff. Lol!
Good luck with your upcoming release!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is #3.
Get lots of sleep and take care. I just went through one book launch and I'm gearing up for another on OCT 24. It is wonderful AND stressful! Good luck. Oh, and I like that joke about the Daylight Savings time. Cute.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better--don't overdo it! Had a great laugh over your funnies, especially the Princess Bride one, the time turner slips, and the Buckbeak one. Aw, so it was Nicole's SON who did karate. Well, I knew there was karate in there somewhere. :) Best wishes to Patricia for her intriguing-sounding book!
ReplyDeleteSorry you aren't feeling the greatest right now. How exciting about the book release, though--that came fast! Best of luck with it on Monday! :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the lie...I'm going to guess #1!
I want a stop time button!!! OMG, that would be so useful. Good luck on Monday!!
ReplyDeleteLove the Dumbledore one, hilarious! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal - can believe time can easily be taken away with feeling preggie - so pleased for you though - and Monday is not far away ... go for it ...
ReplyDeleteTime - would love more; congratulations to Lori and excellent Nicole's son is doing so well at Karate - great ambition ... Patricia looks to be a fit lady - I'd say #1 ... cheers Hilary
I wish I could stop time... especially on the weekends! Then I would speed it up during the week when the day job seems to drag on so it all evens out in the end=)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess number 2 is the lie. I bet Patricia is a pro at crocheting!
I'm doing Quanie's "happy dance" for your release on Monday! Can't wait to get my copy!
I can totally relate to your time issues! Patricia's book sounds fun. I think her lie is #1.
ReplyDeleteIf you find that pause button, let me know, m'k? I swear I will give it back...I just need a few extra hours. Or weeks. But yeah, I'll give it back! Good luck on your upcoming release! And Being Human sounds awesome--I'm guessing #2 :)
ReplyDeleteYeh for the upcoming book release! The pic of the baby made me laugh out loud - so cute and funny. :)
ReplyDeleteMadeline @ The Shellshank Redemption
I could really use a time-turner right now…
ReplyDeleteAnd I hope you feel better. I've been sick this week too. blech. No fun, especially when there's so much that needs to get done.
You'll be ready for Monday!
ReplyDeleteAnytime you can sneak in a Princess Bride reference is awesome.
The lie? No idea. First one.
Daylight Savings...I can't wait until we gain an hour. I could use that extra hour for sleep! lol
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a fabulous job, Crystal. You'll be more than ready. :)
As for the lie....#2.
Thanks for the funnies, Crystal. I needed them!
ReplyDeleteBeing Human sounds like it has an interesting take on vampires!
I think you need some Highlander jokes in there.
ReplyDeleteJust because.
Love the Daylight savings funny! I hate daylight savings. Congrats on your soon book release!! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI think the lie is #3. I have NO patience for puzzles.
I'd love a Tardis. Hope you're feeling better. I'll guess the lie is #2.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling a lot better now. On Monday, you'll feel even better yet!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm gonna go with #2 as being the fib. Um, tell me, is there gonna be a special drawing for those of us who guess wrong every single time? I mean, at least I've been consistent...
I'm going with number 2 as the lie. Mozzarella is a very versatile cheese. It's one of the cheeses I always have to have on hand. It's a disaster if we ever run out.
ReplyDeleteI would take the Tardis for sure. If I had more time I would visit more of my blogger friends.
ReplyDelete#3 is a lie. Take care of yourself and the little one. That's all that is important.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to get some rest and take care of yourself. Congratulations on your upcoming book release! Yay!
ReplyDeleteBEING HUMAN sounds great! Thank you for giving us a chance to win a copy! I'm betting #3 is the lie!
I got a kick out of your funnies, especially the Harry Potter one! :)
Am applauding you for your Monday release. Keep well Crystal.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that Dumbledore one is ridiculous. ^_^ And ye gods, I'd love a Time Turner. I'd love to be able to get home from work and immediately get those hours back. Oi. Gods know I don't have enough time to do everything tonight...
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on the book release! So soon. O_o Hope it all goes amazingly well.
Congrats on the release!!!
ReplyDeleteMore time squeezed in would be awesome!
Aw, sorry to hear you aren't feeling well. You need rest, and lots of it because it's only 4 days until the release of Soulless! WooHoo! Hope you feel better soon so you can enjoy all the hype surrounding your book release! :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Patricia! I'll guess the lie is #1.
Loved your Harry Potter funny, by the way. :)
I love your pictures! Also your book comes out SOOO soon! how awesome is that? (hint pretty freakin awesome!)
ReplyDeletelol, I love the Princess Bride reference. So funny.
ReplyDeleteBeing Human sounds very good. I'll go with guessing 1.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll feel better soon, Crystal. Yay for your book release!
ReplyDeleteThe lie? Hmmm. #1.
Hmmmm...is the lie number 1. Yep, pulled that out of hat since I have no clue.
ReplyDeleteTime is the one thing I don't have enough of. Ideas for stories, no problem. But being a slow writer means I can use all the time I can get.
ReplyDeleteThat baby's expression made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lori.
I'm guessing #1.
Feel better, Crystal. Rest up for your big day on Monday. Smiles.
Congratulations!!! I didn't know you were pregnant. I must have missed that announcement.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! (I wish I had a Tardis!)
ReplyDeleteHope the pregnancy ickies go away. I had that the whole pregnancy with my son. Not fun!
Congrats to book winner Lori! Good luck to Patricia on her new book! You must be very excited about your upcoming release. Thanks for the funnies!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were expecting a baby!!! Congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteHoping things improve as the day/weekend goes along. Congrats on the new book! Wishing you all the best, and all the cheese you can store (it freezes pretty well, but you already knew that, right?:)
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile today. I may just have to watch The Princess Bride this weekend....
Congrats! I completely missed the news about your baby. :-D
ReplyDeleteI think #2 is the lie. She strikes me as a hooker. (As in someone who crochets.)
I revile calling someone a crocheter.
DeleteWow! A Baby! Awesome news! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI am such a bad blog friend - I missed your book release news AND your pregnancy news! Congratulations on both!!! So exciting. I hope you're feeling great and not too anxious about Monday <3
ReplyDeleteyayyyyy Crystal!! only one more day!!
ReplyDeletehilarious timely pics! day light savings and party time my faves =D
Yay for Patricia! Sounds like a heartful vampire tale!
and my guess is the puzzle one - i love puzzles, but i'd rather be writing =)
I'm going with #3 as the lie. She's an author and she spends her "free" time writing.
ReplyDeleteWow, Patricia's cover is awesome! Excited for your release - woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteHappy for your release...congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAwesome news all around! Many, many congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your release on Monday!
ReplyDeleteI think number two is a lie.
I bought Asyllum for this month's read. It's really good.
Your release snuck—I hate sneaked—up on me! I bet you're excited. :D
