Melissa via Facebook: “Here it is, guys!! Possibly my favorite of all my book covers ever.* ❤ ❤ ❤ Beckett Walker is finally coming home to Maple Valley and, um, it’s not the smoothest homecoming. If you’ve read the other Walker Family books you know he hasn’t stepped foot in town for years…now you’ll find out why. Things get super complicated (police! handcuffs! Kit!) but also super cute (obviously I’m biased)…and OF COURSE super romantic. Keep Holding On is due out this fall!!** *with the exception of Logan’s crinkly eyes. **preorder links coming soon!”

Concert Review: GOT 7’s 1st Concert Tour Fly In USA – “Fly in Chicago”

13557912_1028043763957614_6875132375724078552_n

GOT 7 made a big impression on Midwestern fans with their very first solo tour.

Yesterday, ailing members JB and Youngjae broke my heart as they put on a brave face for fans and performed with the remaining five guys. During the high-energy event, the group covered their biggest hits for IGOT7s like “Girls Girls Girls”, “A”,” Stop It Stop It,” “Just Right”, “If You Do”, “Fly” and “Home Run”. They even performed my favorites “Magnetic Girl” and “I Like You”, while the unit group stages pleasantly surprised the audience with energetic performances of “Higher” and “WOLO”. The well choreographed dance segments at the beginning and middle of the show were worth the wait.

The boys worked extremely hard, and JB and YoungJae impressed me by even dancing with the rest of the group despite their ailments. I applaud them for their incredible determination and dedication to their fans.

On a side note, I would have loved to see the boys focus more on fan service. Consistent interaction with fans and seeing more of their unique personalities during the dance performances would have made the night even more perfect. IGO7s absolutely adore them.

For the remainder of their “Fly In The USA” tour, BTSCelebs recommends the boys just get adequate rest, try to eliminate the first tour jitters and remember to treat their fans like their best friends (because fans love them so much). I guarantee the rest of the tour will be spectacular.

*A special thanks to SubKulture Entertainment for allowing BTSCelebs to review the show.*

StaceyDash_ThereGoesMySocialLife

Be brave!

BTSCelebs is ready to take on a book by one of the most controversial public figures today. Stacey Dash’s “There Goes My Social Life: From Clueless to Conservative” is the next book on my summer reading list. Growing up, I was a big fan of her work in the “Clueless” movie/TVseries, and I’m very interested in learning more about the lady that made the character Dionne so famous.

Stay tuned for a complete review of her new book in the coming weeks.

*BTSCelebs thanks Regnery Publishing for the complimentary copy of the book.*

Book Review: Margaret Feinberg’s “Live Fearless”

Live Fearless_mck.indd

Author Margaret Feinberg wants her audience to truly rest in the Lord for her latest activity book. Her adult coloring book “Live Fearless” tells Christian readers to quit focusing on fear, but trust completely in God’s power their lives.

Feinberg encourages everyone to color and sketch to their heart’s content, while using the bible verses in each picture to lead their personal bible study with God. Staying in the lines and aiming for perfection should not be your goal. Being creative, distressing and communicating with God are the goals she hopes her artistic audience achieves.

Personally, I think the overall message is very inspiring, and the black and white photos of the great outdoors would make great artwork for anyone’s home when colorized. The only complaint I have is that the vary translations of the bible make some well-known verses very hard to follow. It’s confusing at times…so keep your own personal Holy Bible handy when reading through the book.

*BTSCelebs thanks Bethany House for the complimentary copy of the book.*
