My 10 Guilty Pleasures…

May 30, 2012

We all have them.  Those things that suck us in, keep us from doing the productive things we are SUPPOSED to be doing, and sometimes literally pull-the-money-out-of-our-pocket…

So being a firm believer in both guilt and pleasure… 🙂  …I thought I’d pay homage to my top ten.  In no particular order.

1)  DVR.  Honestly, I don’t know how we managed before it.  We are a major TV family, and now, there’s this magic box that records all our favorite shows, and all I have to do is turn on the TV and there they all are…in a list…waiting for me.  Love!

2)  Twitter / Facebook.  I’m addicted.  I admit it.  Twitter, more than Facebook, because that’s where all my writer peeps are, but I’m a hopeless social media slave.  I visit…I chat…I promote…and I learn.  And Twitter can be your friend.  🙂  I met my agent there!

3)  Shopping for books.  Especially since I got my Nook, I shop like a crazy woman…it’s just so easy.  But I also adore browsing through a bookstore, touching the covers, smelling the paper and ink in the room.  All those stories….sigh…

4)  Shopping for decor.  Kirklands, Pier One, Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn… They are all the Mother Ship to me.  I could get lost in any of them and completely lose track of time.  Love, love, love…

5)  Shopping online in general.  There’s something entirely too easy about scrolling on a screen and clicking to purchase and ship without ever leaving your chair.  Buy, buy, buy…

6)  Nachos.   Really? Do I need to elaborate?

7)  Ice cream.   I love ice cream.  My favorite is Pecan Pralines and Cream, and my favorite DQ blizzard right now is Turtle Pecan Cluster.  Life is always better with ice cream…

8)  Heavily buttered popcorn.  You know…I can be completely full and miserable, and popcorn cooking is one of those things that can still make you drool, regardless.

9)  Lying in a hammock, next to a shady lake on a beautiful day, with said book I previously shopped for.

10)  Somebody playing with my hair.  That might be a girl thing, but I’ve loved it since I was a child.  My mom used to do it, and there are times I’d pay my husband to do it.  LOL.  Luckily I don’t have to.  My daughter has it just as bad.  I’m tempted to charge her.  🙂

So tell me yours!

    Dark chocolate in the morning before I write. It’s an office staple.

    The Reason is You review by Kathryn Magendie

    “A spot-on debut novel, Sharla Lovelace’s prose is smart, witty, funny, with a hot sexy edge that makes The Reason Is You an oh-so-tantalizing romantic journey…the line between our world and the mystical one is deliciously blurred.” ~ Kathryn Magendie, author of Tender Graces, Secret Graces, Family Graces, Sweetie

    The Reason is You review by Therese Walsh

    “The Reason Is You is a romantic story about love, ghosts, and second chances.  But under all of that, it’s a story about redemption.  This novel is the definition of a page-turner.” ~ Therese Walsh, author of The Last Will of Moira Leahy

    Before and Ever Since review by Romantic Times Book Reviews

    "Lovelace does a great job of bridging the past with the present. The characters are smart, funny and well rounded. It is refreshing to see a female character, with obvious vulnerabilities, exhibit such strength in situations that would make other women cringe." ~Romantic Times Book Reviews

    Before and Ever Since review by Joyfully Reviewed

    "Before And Ever Since is a beautifully crafted, thought provoking story that engaged me from the first few words. The chemistry between Emily and Ben was sizzling hot, and I was quite enamored of these two attempting to work things out…that I could NOT put this story down until I finished it."  ~ Joyfully Reviewed, November 2012 Recommended Read

    Before and Ever Since review by Cocktails & Books

    "Sharla Lovelace is a gifted storyteller. She creates characters that are very down-to-earth, flawed and understand that there isn’t a fairy tale happily ever after waiting for them at the end. It’s raw, it’s gritty and it’s not tied up with a pretty bow, which makes it feel so very real. I look forward to reading more from Sharla Lovelace in the future."    ~Cocktails & Books
