I never used to entertain even the thought of DNFs. Did not finish. I would cringe when I saw it mentioned in a review too. How can you form a complete, well-thought-out opinion of a book if you didn’t finish reading the thing? The more I add books to my TBR pile though, and it’s [...]

What I’m wanting lately:
Is it just me, or does this cover model look really iffy about the book he’s on? Ran across it while lusting after books on Amazon and did a double-take because while this dude may look hot in some ways, he just looks uncomfortable to me. Is something riding up perhaps? Don’t [...]

And it’s time again, folks, to play that zany game of What Led You to Me. Yes, that’s right, the CRAY-ZAY things you search for that bring YOU to my blog. And I give you one of the most WTF moments I’ve personally experienced since opening this place:
Anita Blake Panties
Hmmmm….good band name?
Yeah, I said Anita [...]

I just realized one thing that is a top five or so pet peeve with me and books.
The overindulgence in the pet name usage.
One main character notices a trait, or physical feature, something that reminds them of something and then from there unto The End, their new pet name is sprinkled liberally throughout the book [...]

This is nothing new, the debate of the necessity of a Happily Ever After (HEA) in romance books. But it keeps rearing its head wherever curious romance readers go. And we are indeed curious. And opinionated. :)
Before I get too deep into ruminations on this subject, I’m talking PURE romances: books where the development of [...]

From the Inbox:
Kindle is now available for a new reduced, price, and as someone who’s shown an interest in the Kindle…it’s only $359!
Oh be still my ebook heart.
And what, they’ve been watching my blog or something? How would they know I’ve had an interest in it or not? Just from looking at it’s product [...]

When the bored get, well, bored, the bored go to the bookstore. Despite the overflowing piles of unread books. Despite the lack of time to read said books. Despite the price of gas to get there. And most definitely despite the prevalent cloud of apathy.
I went specifically for two certain books, Lord Scandal by Kalen [...]

more cat pictures
This has nothing to do with my blog, not unless you just want to spread some kooky lurv. Got wind of an interesting site today. SomethingStore.com, where everything’s ten bucks. But what do you order? Well, literally something. Need something for a friend, but don’t know what something to get? Get ‘em something [...]

When weekend after weekend, things don’t go as planned? Or even merely as needed?
My weekend did not go as planned. No need to bitch, whine or expand on issues, suffice it to say - I need that clone now, please.
Guess what I’m STILL at the midway point with? This. Damn. Book:
At this point, it’s putting [...]
