Starting a little something new…From now on Friday will be known as FLIX PIX FRIDAY! Flix Pix Friday will be where I post pix of upcoming and past movie hotties, both male and female.

Wednesdays will be Women To Watch Wednesday, where I will be posting pix of rising women stars from all walks of life. Today’s Flix Pix is one from newly released movie The Host from the book written by author Stephanie Meyer. I think authors need to be given credit where it’s due. Without books there would be few phenomenal movies. This movie just happens to be one that follows the book awesomely! If you haven’t read it, pick up a copy!

Novel News! Angel I Am Not (Phoenix Elite #3)

Scene from:

Angel I Am Not.
Chloe~
Avril sighed and laid her blade on the kitchen table.
I marveled at its design, a curved double-edged, black blade with a ruby red hilt, one blade larger than the other and polished to reflection perfection. I shivered. This woman, as bad as I hated to admit it, scared me. She lacked the softness in her eyes that I had always seen in the photos lying around the Gannon house. Maybe being apart from Elora and Sam Gannon had been harder on her than the two of them. Still, I owed this woman no sympathy. Avril had been in the wrong.

Best portrayal of Avril’s blade I could find. Story behind blade…Sam had it made especially for Avril & presented it to her on their wedding day…the only thing Sam found missing from Avril’s Hope chest after her ‘death’.
