I thought I’d share a peek into what I’m reading right now.  I’ll be posting my views on these books over the next couple of weeks. I noticed looking at this list that the only romance genre I’m missing is Western!  (Abject apologies, Sybs!)  I’m all over the place!

Forbidden Fantasy by Cheryl Holt Forbidden Fantasy picks up six months after Complete Abandon ends. Ian Clayton and Lady Caroline Foster were two secondary character in Complete Abandon. And well I liked them! Ian was a bastard, in more way than one and Caro was in a really hard spot that could bring out the [...]

Everyone dies. It is a basic fact of life. So offing a character just doesn’t scream “creative genius at work” to me. On the other hand, to create a believable Happily Ever After isn’t easy either. Not every author is going to be able to do it. Anyone can type the words to paper, but [...]

The first was Jacob, and the third will be Elijah, which is coming from Zebra either 27 Nov 07 (according to the Zebra website), Dec 2007 (according [...]

No swan hats were harmed in the filming of this trailer… Well I don’t think they were. You can watch Sherrilyn Kenyon chat with some fan at Borders Live @ 01. Love her books or not, she really does seem to be a kool kat. Nothing has made me want to pick up one of [...]

Howl at the Moon (The Others, Book 4) by Christine Warren Noah Baker never wanted to betray The Others. But if his military commanders want him to covertly investigate a Lupine scientist—whose extraordinary research on sensory perception in werewolves could be used to develop werewolf-sharp senses in human soldiers—Noah must oblige. Even if it means [...]

After I finished Lover Unbound, the first thing I did was read Lover Revealed again. And then decided to start with Dark Lover – followed by Lover Eternal, Lover Awakened and then yes… Lover Revealed *again*. To end with a reread of Lover Unbound… 

Lawson’s review of Sex and the Psychic Witch (Triplet Witch Trilogy, Book 1) by Annette Blair Contemporary paranormal romance released by Berkley Sensation 7 Aug 07 Though this is a new series by Blair, it ties in with her last book The Scot, the Witch and the Wardrobe. This first book is about Harmony Cartwright, [...]

I should say I hate Reality TV, tis true… I don’t get it. And honestly I HATED the book Lord of the Flies. Oh so very, very much. So the idea of Kid Nation just doesn’t work for me and I could be over reacting. I know… shocking… But I KEEP seeing this show pop [...]

I apologize for the lack of links to some things. . .school is starting and I’m busy setting up my classroom, running off copies and generally hating meetings that take away my time to do the former two things. After reading Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict I’ve got to admit that Miss Austen’s works [...]

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict by Laurie Viera Rigler I’ve got to say, once again, that what if? histories are fun, and even better is a what if? history that asks what if a Jane Austen fanatic from the 21st century gets stuck in the world she loves? There’s a little magic, a little [...]

Monday afternoon, I’m sitting there, minding my own business, when BAM! my right eye starts giving me all nature of problems.  It starts to hurt, it’s getting red, it weeps, it hurts.  Oh, and did I mention it hurts?  This gets progressively worse overnight until when I wake up Tuesday I can’t see out of it [...]

RIFF ON ALPHA MALES Thanks for all the comments on my alpha males and by the by, I find the insistence that I am one a little puzzling, but let’s move on. The key I think is that my men really, truly respect my women. Now in princess-talk  “You don’t respect me”  is code for [...]
