Checking in from Summer Vacation again…  We are 10 days into my 2 week trip to visit the folks. The extended family all left yesterday morning and it’s a bit quieter now. We’ve had great weather, lots of fun, and plenty to eat and drink. I am glad to have a little down time before […]

What Does a Book Rating Mean to You?

Recently I read a post by Parajunkee in her Blogger 101 series that talked about writing a bad review. It brought up some great points. But it was this comment by author JA Saare that inspired my post: I can say that one of the worst things as an author is when you get a low rating […]

Isn’t it erotic… don’t you think?

No, it’s not like rain on your wedding day, it’s more like having hot, intense sex in the middle of a rain storm in front of your wedding guests… After enjoying romance books (paranormal) for over a year, I learned about “erotic romance” books. Why it took me so long to discover this sub-genre, I […]

To Spoil or Not To Spoil?

I read a tweet earlier today by my buddy Marq, @Love2Read4Fun, that said she was going to go home, open her new copy of Lover Mine by J. R. Ward, and read the end. *GASP* My next door neighbor does the same thing. She always will read the last chapter of a new book first.  […]

A little rant from Twimom… Readers of my blog know a couple of things about me. 1) I bought a Kindle earlier this year and I am in LOVE with it. 2) I am a huge fan of Lora Leigh’s Breed series and am excited for the release, tomorrow. Put those two things together and […]

Born of the Big Screen 80’s Action Adventure…

I recently picked up Sherrilyn Kenyon’s League Series, which I highlighted a few weeks ago in my blog. Today, I’m reviewing the first book in this series, Born of Night. From Ms. Kenyon’s website: Command Assassin Nykyrian Quikiades was born and trained to slaughter. Refusing to be a pawn, he turned his back on the […]
