Hello Raunchers. Happy Post VD!  Er…Valentine’s Day.

It’s been quieter than usual here at The Raunch Dilettante.  Mind you, there’s been lots of reading (and listening…) going on behind the scenes. I have some reviews coming up for future releases, some really great books that I’m excited to share.  In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been up to:

Molly Harper’s Jane Jameson series 

I got into Molly Harper’s Jane Jameson series.  It’s a contemporary paranormal romance featuring a snarky small town children’s librarian who is turned into a vampire.  It’s a hilarious series and I devoured all three books.  There’s a fourth coming out at the end of the month, and I definitely see myself picking it up.

I’ve found a few AWESOMESAUCE websites lately that have really cracked me up:

Louis vs. Rick – a man teaches his cat to use IM. Hilarity ensues.

Downton Abbey fan?  You HAVE to check out the hilarious Tumblr featuring the dowager countess…and texting.

Peanut butter pinecone craft time motherf*cka! Mr. RaunchyRyan shared a twitter user he stumbled on the other day.  @ghettohikes is a 28 yr old nature hiker who takes urban kids out into mother nature.  He simply shares what the kids do and/or say.  http://www.ghettohikes.com/

Author Megan Hart is doing a book signing this weekend at my local Barnes & Noble.  I’m excited about this.  I’ve been a fan of hers for several years, especially since she’s a fellow Central PA’er.  Megan writes some pretty awesome stuff, stuff that tends to haunt you for awhile after you’ve finished the book.  Much Love.

I could talk about the Grammys, but really all I have to say about it is blahblahblahADELE!blahblahblah.   I’ve loved her since her early 19 days when all she was known for here in the USofA was Chasing Pavements.  I know an artist has truly gone mainstream/big time when my mother acquires the album via iTunes (and then proceeds to call me to talk her through how to actually get to it and play it).  MamaRyan bleeds Kenny Chesney and Nascar, so I was pretty tickled when she told me she loved Adele.  If you haven’t listened to her Adele Live At The Royal Albert Hall (DVD/CD) yet, you need to GET ON IT. Live under a rock and missed her performance? Watch it now!
