My July Escapist Reads

Boy oh boy did I need to escape life this month. Amidst all the fun social things (2 weddings, Billy Joel & Elton John concert, RWA, romancelandia blogger get togethers) I have been unbeLIEVably stressed about real life stuff. Hubby and I are serioulsy house hunting. This has caused some serious “discussions” (aka arguments) about [...]

Legend of Four Soldiers series, by Elizabeth Hoyt 3in1 review

It’s time for a blitzkrieg review! Maybe that has too much of a negative connotation…review-blitz? lighting round review? Since I have been reading at the speed of light (8 books in 7 days = speed of light, it’s science) it is only fitting I do a quick review round. I just finished the first three [...]

Burning books

Alternate titles: Cooking the Books, Cook(ed) Book I have zero tolerance for biblioclasm regardless of someone’s moral, religious, or political objections to the contents. The destruction of books is what is REALLY morally wrong to me, burning the material solves nothing and only serves to vilify the biblioclast. I’m looking at you 2nd Century BC China, [...]

Practice Makes Perfect, by Julie James

The Secret – my version

NO I have not read that stupid book, ok well I guess I won’t call it stupid since I don’t know anything about it, but The Secret (touted by Grand Poobah Oprah) held no interest for me. But I am going to trust you (yes you, reading my blog with your finger poised over the scroll-y [...]

Recap and Contest reminder

Morning blogosphere! Since I have been on hyper-drive and over scheduled I’m being lazy and just writing bullet points… RWA’s literacy signing was ridic. But I validated spending $100 on books to hubby by telling him it all went to charity! They raised over $60K in one day! Just over the top romance novel craziness [...]

Romantic Friday Evening at RWA09

As this was my first time attending the RWA conference I didn’t even know regular readers and fans such as myself could attend the romance publishing industry workshops, panels, and luncheons during the day. Nor that regular readers would even want to! But apparently you can, and people do, and it’s interesting! All for a [...]
