My Favorite Jr Turned Sr for the 2013-2016

Now that the London Olympics is over, I am more than ever excited to see the upcoming talent of gymnasts for the 2013-2016 gymnastics season. And onto Rio 2016!




My first favorite is Sarah Finnegan. What was a shame was how Sarah couldn't get much international experience due to the stupid age limit rule.


 
Sarah Finnegan





Sarah is from the same gym as 2008 Ivana Hong, and 2004 Olympians Courtney McCool and Terin Humphrey. What I like about Sarah is her beam routine and her choreography.



Katelyn Ohashi




Katelyn trains under Valeri Liukin at WOGA, the same gym of Rebecca Bross, 2008 Olympics Champion Nastia Liukin, and 2004 Olmpic Champion Carly Patterson. What I like about Katelyn is how she is a mix between Carly and Nastia, and I like her beam, if only she would connect her standing arabian into her first layout series then her difficulty value would go up like crazy.


Polina Shchennikova




Polina is pretty much a mini Nastia. BOTH Russian and parents trained in gymnastics in the Soviet Union, both are coached by their parents, and both have what the Soviet was known for, artistry in gymnastics. 









Bailie Key

Simone Biles
Simone Biles has to be the most powerful gymnast I have ever seen, her vaulting is ten times better than Maroney, and she is currently working on a Yurchenko triple no woman has ever done this vault.



Amelia Hundley


Amelia is so happy all the time. She's not every powerful on floor, but she is trying to work on all four events. 



Lexie Priessman

Lexie is most likely an event specialist due to her vaulting and floor, her floor routine is good but she needs to work on her landings, and change her floor music to something less cheerleading.




Good luck girls, and make Team USA proud!

Baby & Bump by Brooke Moss


At thirty years old, caterer Lexie Baump has a lot on her plate. With a business to run, she doesn’t have time for any added distractions. But one momentary indiscretion adds a little hiccup to Lexie’s plans. She’s pregnant. With no relationship prospects.
But if Lexie thought fighting morning sickness while running a catering business was hard, enter Dr. Fletcher Haybee. Their connection is instant, and their love of vintage rock tee shirts and Elvis music is enough to bond them for life. There are just two minor problems.
One: he’s dating her oversexed best friend. Two: he’s also her obstetrician.
With events to cater, awkward OB appointments to endure, and her ever-growing baby bump making it impossible to close her jeans, Lexie has to find a way to curb her undeniable attraction toward Fletcher and focus on her new role as a working mother. But it certainly isn’t easy when its clear Fletcher himself feels the same magnetic pull toward Lexie.
Can Lexie leave the gorgeous Fletcher for her best friend to chew up and spit out, or will she cave to her feelings and find love in the stirrups? Life is about to get messy, and we're not just talking about crumbs in the car seat...



I have been trying to look for other books outside of the romance department but I was lucky to receive an ARC. What I liked the most about this book was there was more comedy than found in most chick lit books. There are moments that are full of embarrassment, and that will make you laugh and may spark some of the most embarrassing moments that happened to you at one time. If you're looking for a romantic comedy to read next, I highly recommend this book.

Mad at ABCFamily

You know I'm starting to get really mad at ABCFamily for cancelling all the good T.V. shows. 

First on they cancelled Lincoln Heights



Then they cancel The Nine Lives of Chloe King



Then they cancel my personal favorite Make It or Break It


Oh and here's the best part, two of their new shows that I really liked, they cancelled them too! And on major cliffhangers as well. Bunheads and The Lying Games




I'm starting to get upset and not watch any shows that they produce anymore. I mean what's the point if they just keep cancelling all of them. I think one of the problems is that they have too many shows going at the same time, and it doesn't really allow for other viewers to watch it since they run at the same time as other networks which doesn't really allow for many viewers.

Guess I'll have to go find more new shows to watch.

Next on the Reading List

After sending out queries, and revising my work for the next #DVpit. I have been reading. Finally after weeks on my library e-book holds. I...
