This week will likely be a little quiet around here, except for a few RetroLurv reviews. No it’s not vacation time *pout*, that’s in November. No, I’ve got to get Shades of Dark finished. I would’ve been through a lot quicker had I not decided to put it down at chapter seven or so and [...]

Do You Go With Them?
I’ve been discussing on my message board a bit about Karen Moning and where she might be going writing-wise when the Fever series is done. The recent news that has kind of put me in a tailspin of upside-down smile is there will be no more romances.
From her message board, June [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m back to a past dilemma…
I am tired of feeding my hungry hungry hippo of a printer trees when I have an ARC to read/review.
I am on the prowl for an ereader (or a digital book reader, whatever you call ‘em), one of those handy little gadgets by which I can advance myself into the [...]

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 [...]

Click. Click click. Click link click. Clickclickclick. Link. Link. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beepbeepbeep (translation – ur doin’ it wrong!)…I can’t believe I just linked this much crap. Or typed out this big a list. Wheeewww doggy, my fingers are cramping. All for a good cause though – the aid Kmont’s shitty memory fund.
I’z tired just [...]

I don’t like historical romances set in India.
Well, I’d be better off saying I don’t particularly care for them. I’ve read one that I did like reasonably well. But all the talk of this one is doing some good if it got my attention long enough to purchase it. Like most romance readers I’m seeking [...]

Way back when (as in, The Wonder Years), in a time far, far away (as in, the bedroom I still remember that was my teenage mecca) where I only had to go to school and help out mom once in a while (Ah, the good life-yes? No? Maybe?), I used to read fantastical tomes of [...]

Gena Showalter
The Nymph King (Atlantis #3)
Harlequin
ISBN-10: 0373771886
ISBN-13: 9780373771882
Paranormal Romance
Well no surprise with moi, I’ve stumbled smack dab into the end of a three-book series without having read the first two. Oopsies. Somehow, with this third in Ms. Showalter’s Atlantis series, I think it’s for the best. I’d heard this one was a bit on the [...]
