Limecello's review of Superb and Sexy (Sky High Air, Book 3) by Jill Shalvis
Contemporary romance published by Brava on 1 Jun 08
I have a confession to make. I’ve wanted to read Maddie and Brody’s story since I read Smart and Sexy in April, 2007. I actually found myself eagerly flipping through pages for more of Maddie and Brody’s witty repartee while reading Noah and Baileys story (which was enjoyable). So, I have good news for all of us – Maddie and Brody’s story is now out for all of us to savor. And I did.

Jane has an interesting post up regarding 'Street Teams', which is a topic expanded on from a blog post Karin Tabke posted at Writer Unboxed. Really this was posted a week or so ago and I am sure has more comments and such. But I am lazy so I either post this now or say fuck it.
I know, I know... you are shocked I would shut up and NOT post something but teh lazy often over rides the mouth (keyboard?) whatever...
As a reader, a blogger and blog owner I happen to think the idea of 'street teams'... Read more

As usual, this post is brought to you by the department of Let's Please Give Shannon something else to do...
I wonder what reviews would look like if Shakespeare had been around in the age of the Internet. Would they be something like this?
Honestly, the hero and heroine in Romeo and Juliet didst not worketh for me as well as other of the bard's romantic couples. In fact, I believeth that Shakespeare hath jumped the shark. Gone are the days of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing. In the bard's latest installment, Romeo and Juliet we are plagued with a heroine who is too stupid to live. Yea verily, I wanted to strangle her. As for Romeo, wherefore did he haveth to end up with that stupid slut Juliet? It was obvious from the sexual tension between himself and Mercutio that Romeo did loveth the men. I am afraid I cannot giveth this folio a grade higher than a C+.
Feel free to lambast me in comments for not getting my 17th century English vernacular right, for not understanding the bard at all, and for getting the chronology of his plays wrong. Or, you know, alternately, post up your own parody reviews of classics in the comments.
