The Right Wrong Number: A Short Story [Kindle Edition] By Barbara Delinsky
In this 30-page short story by bestselling author Barbara Delinsky, Carly Kelly has just been presented with a life-changing business opportunity for tiny nursery and flower store, Plant People. But she only has four days to decide, which means she will most likely have to cancel her weekend trip away. She dials her friends to let them know, and excitedly launches into a speech about the opportunity. But when she pauses, a sexy, inquisitive stranger is on the other end, and he’s eager to hear about her store, her passions and her life. She’s dialed the wrong number--- and the man on the other end, with his deep voice, his charming jokes and his excellent advice, is a surprise she never expected…
A killer is stalking the streets of Crossroads, Mississippi, and it's up to Sheriff Ava Dushaine to stop him. But when suspicion falls on werewolf alpha Julian Kasey--Ava's ex-lover and the man who still haunts her dreams--Ava knows that she'll either have to prove his innocence...or watch the whole town go up in flames.

I've always been a good girl. I grew up in a small town, dated my high school sweetheart all the way through college, and married him. I even waited until our wedding night for my first time. Yeah, that kind of good girl. Finding my husband in bed with the church secretary came as quite a shock, needless to say. Finding out he'd slept with just about every female in town was an even bigger shock.
Discovering those dirty little secrets is what sent me on a journey that I will never forget.

A bit of Movie
We changed back to Netflix from going to the Redbox. I noticed that we were spending more on Redbox than we did on Netflix.
I watch the previews at the beginning of movies to find movies that I might find interesting. Since I rarely watch the commercial on TV without changing the channel.
I came across two movies that I thought might be chick flicks "Save the Date" and "Price Check." For me these were two of the worse movies I have seen in a long time. They drag and are quite boring. I tried to watch these at two different times just to make sure that it was not a mood issue and both times I was about to bang my head against the bed post just to get some sort of entertainment and I believe it would have been less painful than these movies. Don't get me wrong it was okay acting but the story line and plot were something that I could only say should have ended up on the editing room floor. If you like bad independent movies you might like this. The sense of humor is dry and seems more like you are watching a movie with drunk people. In "Price Check" the only thing missing was a full on slur of words.
My advise is to just move right on past these movies. They were not worth the time I spent trying to watch them.

Hunger Games Trilogy
I finally got around to reading the Hunger Games. I had seen it in the stores for months before the movie was ever talked about. I bought "Hunger Games" several months ago but had never got around to reading it.
They are good books, however, it took me forever to get through with Book Three, Mockingjay; 4 days to be exact.
Book one introduces us to the Hunger Games and don't stop reading. The first part is a bit boring and takes a bit of reading to get into the book. By the time the announcement of the Hunger Games you are hooked. And for those of you that have not seen the movie don't stop at Book One, read the other before watching the movie. I have not seen the movie but asked someone that had seen it where the movie ended.
Book Two (Catching Fire) starts pretty much where One left off. No time at all has really passed and we catch up with the winners. But don't think it is over. It will pull you back into this book where you can't put it down until you are finished.
Book Three (Mockingjay); Okay I get it, you have to finish the story, but with all the trivia crap in this last one it is hard to keep track of what is going on. Who is the players and where it is all going. But I have to admit, you won't see the ending coming. And I am not talking about who she ends up with. There is a bit of a twist which makes the last 25 pages of the book the most interesting.
But I have to remember these books are for the teenage set, but enjoyable for adults too.
Read the book then watch the movie. I will review the movie after I watch it. Hope it is as good as Book One Hunger Games.
***Hunger Games - The movie. Just a note here. If you have read the book, don't waste your time watching the movie. If you are anything like me you will keep saying, "They left too much of the movie out." There was more non talking parts in the movie that could have been filled with information about the Hunger Games which is the whole reason for the books and why there is an uprising.

50 Shades of Grey - Trilogy
With all the hip about this book or books I decided to read them. If you are expecting this hot steamy love scenes, you might want to read another books.
With all the talk about a woman submitting to the BDSM lifestyle I really was expecting a bit more. But without giving away too much of the book I will just say, this is a lesson about a man overcoming his need to control stemming from a much deep psychological level and the woman that helps feed his desire to control without losing herself.
It is not the story that all the publicity indicated it was.
It was an interesting romance novel read, at least the first book and the first 25 pages of the second. After that it was mindless dribble to fill another six hundred pages. The author did not capitalize on several opportunities to provide the twist in the book, the one that all good love stories have along with movies. It is why we read and watch them.
It will keep you reading to find the plot twist, but if you are anything like me by the third book you just want the on and on to end.
Fifty Shades of Grey
Fifty Shades of Darker
Fifty Shades of Freed
Understand these are written in first person from Anastasia's point of view. At the end of Book 3 there is a slight perspective from Christan Grey. This is great insight which just lend to my thought it should have been written in third person. And there is only a tidbit of his point of viewer and that I just didn't understand the point of adding it. Unless this is where the 4th book will begin.
As with other reviews I have to say there is several redundant phrases used. But it only starts to be a real issue in the second and third book when you start getting annoyed.
I hope you enjoy the books much more than I did, I was just wishing the end would come by the last 100 pages of Fifty Shades of Freed.
And while looking for an except from the "contract" I found that if you look online there are several places to get the full book free as it was an e-book before getting picked up by a publishing house.
