Vacation plans are made! I booked us a beach condo yesterday, and at least one of our sons is coming with us – hopefully both of them. Son #2 isn’t a beach fan (sometimes I question if he’s really related to us), but it looks like he might make a sacrifice and come. Hubby and I had expected to vacation alone, but I guess the stars aligned. It could also have something to do with our sons knowing we’d be paying for everything. I’ll take what I can get. A week at the beach – woohoo!
Over the weekend I watched The Adam Project on Netflix. If you enjoy Ryan Reynold’s humor and the concept of time travel, I’d recommend it. The young actor who plays a 12-year-old Reynolds is perfect in the role. He can hold his own, and the two of them together gave me plenty of laughs, but there are also some bittersweet moments. I always liked the movie 13 Going On 30, so seeing Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner reunited was a treat. They’re not onscreen together for long, but that was fine with me.
Only two more days to enter to win a signed copy (US only) or ebook (international) of The Insurgent. To register go HERE. Have a great week!

Congratulations on booking the beach condo. I’m sure you’ll have a fabulous time. You can’t go wrong with the beach. Hubby and I are headed to Cape Cod in June and I can’t wait!
I’ve heard good things about The Adam Project. Someone else I know recommended it too.
And woohoo to the countdown for The Insurgent!

Cape Cod is someplace I’ve always wanted to visit. Hope you have a fabulous time, Mae. And you’re right – you can’t go wrong with the beach!
I really enjoyed The Adam Project. It won’t win any awards, but it sure kept me entertained.

A week at the beach, woohoo! The first thing I think of isn’t sand or ocean. It’s a whole week of beach reads, yippee!

The Adam Project was filmed in the town I used to live in, in Canada. I really want to see this. So great to have a holiday planned.

How cool, Darlene! It was such a cute town. If they’d filmed it near me, I’d have been one of those onlookers told to stay behind the tape, lol.

Watched Adam last night and really enjoyed it. So many superhero actors outside that environment made it fun. Have a wonderful time away.

Dead Pool (and Green Lantern, but we won’t speak of that), Hulk, and Electra. I thought the young Adam did an outstanding job at keeping up with Reynolds. They were great together.

I’m excited for your upcoming vacation at the beach, Teri. The beach is a perfect location. I always prefer the beach over the mountain. Congratulations on your soon to be released book. I would like to host your release. Keep me posted.

You’re welcome, Teri. Probably it’s because I’ve lived close to the water all my life.

My daughters are going to the beach with us and I know the “free” vacation is part of the drawl. We’ve also been invited to Disney in December and that is definitely so we will pay. Lol. I’ll take it though. Any opportunity to spend time as a family is worth it.

Hi Teri, your vacation plans sound lovely. We wanted to go to Namibia for Easter but, alas, the boys South African passports are just about to expire so we have to renew them before travelling cross border. I am looking forward to reading The Insurgent.

Glad to hear the weather cooperated with you, Wendy! We’ve spent weeks at the beach (during the summer) when the temps didn’t get out of the upper 50s or low 60s. We’ve warned friends they probably didn’t want to vacation with us, lol. The young actor who played 12-year-old Adam has a future – guarantee that’s not the last we’ll see of him.
