Friday Finds Oct 30th

Happy friday blogosphere! Today I’m participating in Friday Finds hosted by Miz B at Should Be Reading. This is a great meme to track and share with others and new, or just new-to-you, great books you discovered recently! His At Night, by Sherry Thomas – I’ve heard positive things about Ms. Thomas around for a while [...]

Mailbox Monday Oct 26

  Mailbox Monday is a weekly meme graciously hosted by Marcia at the Printed Page. It’s a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t count, eBooks & audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. [...]

Fevered bookish thoughts

The lusty household was home sick this week and I have been apathetic about blogging, reading and commenting. The only meal I made in 4 days was the classic grilled cheese, tomato soup, and orange juice: Oh, and a giant FAIL at easy mac, wayyy to soupy to eat, yuck. I’m out of practice as [...]

Lusty Lexicon

Our household is full of compromise…well at least trades. Like I get to pick what we watch on TV Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (why he doesn’t want to watch America’s Funniest Home Videos, Grey’s Anatomy, and Ghost Whisperer I’ll never understand:) and then hubby watches football all weekend and Monday. Occasionally NASCAR, sigh. This weekend while cheering [...]

Personal 16 Romance Novels in honor of Kathleen Winsor

The gorgeous and talented author Kathleen Winsor would have been 90 years old today. She is known as one of the pioneers of the romance genre after publishing Forever Amber in 1944 and was one of the first “romance novels” I ever read. The details in the story about events leading up to the Restoration, Charles II, court life, [...]

Library loot: a surprise and an unrequited hug

Lists, big and small, are a part of a book lovers existence. Am I right, or am I right? Post-its on my desk, receipts on my coffee table, napkins in my purse, half forgotten ones in the back of my poor tired brain, even floating in my dreams, and occasionally I remember to put them [...]

My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincet

I received this book as an ARC earlier this summer from Harlequin, my first ARC ever! (Happy now FTC?) I was super intrigued by the summary: She doesn’t see dead people, but… She senses when someone near her is about to die. And when that happens, a force beyond her control compels her to scream bloody [...]

Blast from the past in my mailbox

It seemed like the perfect idea at the time…the year was 2004. The setting? My parents’ house. Anticipation sparkled in the air as I packed up my bedroom, readying for my final year of college. A 3 bedroom house off-campus awaited me and my two best friends. We were going to par-tay. We were going [...]

September Reading List

So I told myself I wouldn’t post my September finished reading list until I wrote ONE review for any of the books I read. Well we all know I have no willpower…sigh…so I’m just posting it anyways with just a few thoughts after each. Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to writing a [...]
