I hope you have a spooktacular Halloween! I dressed as Hermione Granger today and as Jane Austen yesterday. The other photos were taken at Sleepy Hollow during their street fair and DeCiccos supermarket. I highly recommend you visit Sleepy Hollow.

Learn about the Eiffel Tower, beloved and iconic symbol of Paris, France, and one of the most recognizable structures in the world!
When the plans for the Eiffel Tower were first announced, many people hated the design of the future landmark, calling it ungainly and out of step with the beautiful stone buildings of the city. But once it went up for the World’s Fair in 1889, the people of Paris quickly fell in love with the tower. Today it seems impossible to imagine Paris without the Eiffel Tower, which greets millions of visitors each year who climb up its wrought-iron stairs, ride its glass elevators, and enjoy the wonderful views of the city spread out below it.
This book, part of the New York Times best-selling series, is enhanced by eighty illustrations and a detachable fold-out map complete with four photographs on the back.
My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It is truly one of the most magnificent structures ever created. I am happy that after all that hard work, Gustave went through that the Eiffel Tower didn’t get destroyed. I haven’t seen it in person, but I am obsessed with this beauty. I love the images in the book and was happy to learn the history.

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Another amazing story by Carol. She sure knows how to grasp the readers attention with a life and death situation. This story truly touched my heart. It was a story that, though it was fiction it truly could be someone’s life situations. I love the chemistry between Jay and Mia. They are both fighters who have worked hard to get where they are today. Mia is a veterinarian who loves to save animals from cruelty. Jay is in the Coast Guard and assists in saving life’s when they are in the ocean. This book was full of drama, secrets, hope, and love. Each character was perfect for this novel. Made the story come to life. If you are looking for a book that takes you to dangers in life and finding love, then look no further.

The daughter of free-range parents, she developed a love of adventure and the outdoors at a very early age. She’s grateful for the “research material” that every questionable decision, adrenaline-charged misstep, and near-death experience has provided.

Archibald Salisbury, son of a viscount, war hero, and proficient in the proper ways of aristocratic society, has received orders for his most challenging mission: Genevieve, Duchess of Blakesley. How she inherited a duchy isn’t his problem. Turning her into a perfect duchess is. But how can he keep his mind on business when her beauty entices him toward pleasure?
It was impossible, unprecedented…and undeniably true. Genevieve is now a “duke”, or, rather, a duchess. So what is she to do when the ton eyes her every move, hoping she’ll make a mistake? Genevieve knows she has brains and has sometimes been told she has beauty, but, out of her depth, she calls on an expert. And what an expert, with shoulders broad enough to lean on, and a wit that matches her own. Archie is supposed to teach her to be a lady and run her estate, but what she really wants to do is unladylike—run into his arms.
My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
War hero meets duchess in need of guidance. I just finished reading, and I can still see steam coming out of the book with all the spicy scenes. The plot for this book was genius since a woman wouldn’t have been able to run an estate. I love happily ever after novels. I loved the attraction between Archie and Genevieve. Both are strong characters who stand up for what they love and their duty. I was cracking up with the notes they wrote back and forth while they were in the same house. It was great to be able to know each characters true thoughts of their feelings. Highly recommend this fun romance filled with laughs and hot loving.
Goodreads Author Biography
Megan Frampton’s love affair with books began when her parents moved her to a remote town in New Hampshire where there was only one television station. And then the TV broke. She devoured every book of fiction in her well-read parents’ library, finding special joy in Georgette Heyer and the fairy tales collected and translated by Andrew Lang. Megan majored in English literature at Barnard College and worked in the music industry for fifteen years. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband (her former intern) and her kid.
Another fantastic year of the Chiller Theater Expo. My main goal was to meet Mimi Rogers. In 1997, I used to watch a Christmas movie that she played in called The Christmas List. It is my favorite Christmas movie. She was just as sweet as she was in that movie. I even got to give her a hug, I was truly fangirling.
I also went to see Sara Karloff, the daughter of Boris Karloff (the one and only Frankenstein). I found several Frankenstein goodies from some awesome vendors.

Synopsis:
He’s cold, calculating, and lethal. A killer.
He’s also my hero. Finn Decker rescued me from a life in captivity, but not out of mercy. I’m his key to destroying the Bratva leader who shattered both our lives. A pawn in his ruthless game of vengeance. I should be afraid. I should run. Instead, I’m drawn to the darkness in his eyes, the craving he ignites, and the promise of retribution he offers. And I realize—I want him to use me in ways that have nothing to do with revenge. Only, it’s hard to tell if I’m his leverage, his weakness, or something far more dangerous. His. Because in a war this savage, there’s no room for mistakes. Or love.
