Sandy M’s review of The Gelidus Factor by Patricia S. Otto Contemporary paranormal romance released by Cerridwen Press 7 Feb 08 I’ve been getting a little jaded when it comes to ebooks.

Laura J’s review of Primal Instincts by Jill Monroe Contemporary romance released by Blush (Harlequin Blaze) 1 Feb 08 Since I’m a huge fan of romantic comedies, I was very excited about this new line of books from Harlequin books .  This first book didn’t disappoint me at all.

Sandy M’s review of Maverick Wild (Wild Series, Book 2) by Stacey Kayne Historical western romance released by Harlequin on 1 Jan 08 Every now and again I enjoy a good western/cowboy story and it’s always nice to find an author who knows how to write one.

Gwen’s review of Witch Blood (Elemental Witches, Book 2) by Anya Bast Contemporary paranormal romance published by Berkley 4 Mar 08 This second book in Bast’s Elemental Witches series was quite good.  I found myself staying up far too late to finish (5am! I’m too old for that).  It centers around a community of witches [...]

Sandy M’s review of Premonition by Lynn LaFleur Contemporary paranormal romance released by Ellora’s Cave on 5 Feb 08 I’m reading along, liking so far what there is in this book, enjoying the characters, getting into the mystery of it and the heroine’s paranormal ability, going through the first meeting of Slade and Kari, knowing [...]

You didn’t think we’d have an Oscar party without giving out an award, did you? I suppose you’re wondering just what it will take to win, aren’t you?

…aka, They Interrupted My Snarkfest to Give Out Some Stoopid Ol’ Moovee Awards! You know what? I really didn’t have a clue what movies were nominated. I DID know that I hadn’t seen a single one. I don’t LIKE going to movie theaters. First of all, it’s too dark to read a book, but the [...]

Doesn’t sound good. Although the idea of moving to an all online mag seems to make sense, says the chick who doesn’t know much about it. Thoughts? via galleycat

Once upon a time, I loved movies. While not a film snob exactly, I used to consider myself quite well-versed. I read the New York Times Arts & Leisure section, went to the movies all the time, rented little-known artsy films, classic b& w numbers and schlocky horror films. Ah, to be young and pretentious.

Loonigrrl’s guest review of Grimspace (The Jax Series, Book 1) by Ann Aguirre Sci-Fi romance released by Ace 26 Feb 08 This book was a very pleasant surprise. Ok, it was more than that. It was awesome. Sure, I enjoy sci-fi just as much as the next Star Trek-Star Wars-Firefly/Serenity-Battlestar Galactica fan.  But when it [...]

Teddypig’s Top Awards For Films That SHOULD Have Won Something At The Oscars. Damn them… damn them all to hell!

Sandy M’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 I became an instant fan of Annette Blair’s witches with her first book, The Kitchen Witch, back in 2004. Her humor and wit just poured out her witches [...]

Sandy M’s review of Hard to Handle (SBC Fighters, Book 3) by Lori Foster Contemporary romance released by Berkley 5 Feb 08 I know that books are supposed to have conflict to offer suspense, tension, and mystery.  Sometimes the conflict goes on a little bit too long and a story loses its shine. This is [...]
