Guest Post: Writing Mean by Lexi George + Giveaway
Today we are really happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc Lexi George to celebrate her newest release, Demon Hunting in the Deep South, the second installment in her successful Demon Hunting series.

Don’t want to spoil things for you, read on and be prepared to laugh 🙂 And don’t forget to check at the end of the post for your chance to win a copy of her book.
One of biggest surprises to me in writing the demon hunter series is how much I enjoyed writing the character Meredith Starr Peterson. Why? Because Meredith is not the heroine or the witty and loyal best friend.
Meredith is a mean girl.

Romance and Me: The Wedding Romance
Hey Everyone!
With one of this week’s guest author (Christi Barth) and her novel Planning For Love I realized we never discussed wedding romances, and summer being the season for weddings, now is the perfect time!
What are wedding romances you ask? Well romance stories which are focused around weddings! Either the heroine or the hero (or both of them) has a wedding related job, like wedding planner, photographer, florist, baker, etc.
Long before I realized these kinds of books existed I was already a fan of this type of movies: My Best Friend’s Wedding, The Wedding Planner, etc. Even if the movie wasn’t of great quality I very much enjoyed getting a glimpse of the behind the scenes of how a wonderful lavish wedding is put together. And when this is combined with a group of close friends, so that besides the wedding preparations we …
