As I was putting together a list of books I wanted to review (not the list PamP was asking for but hey a list *g*) I noticed a few odd things

Sybil’s review of The Rules of Seduction (The Rothwell Series, Book 1) by Madeline Hunter Historical romance released by Dell 31 Oct 06 Since Gwen recently reviewed Secrets of Surrender (Roselyn Longworth and Klyle Bradwell’s tale), I figured I would review the book that started the Rothwell series. And a note as I happened to [...]

So it’s been a bit quiet about the pond here. I’m sure those of you on twitter have noticed Syb being quiet as well. Unfortunately our dear duckie has had an incident and has been away from her computer.

Duffy mixes it up   manson goths it   And the one that started it all: Depeche Mode (lovesssssss this song)   ohhhhhh I haven’t heard this… I likey  

The first movie I recall seeing is at a drive in with my mom and grandmother, we were watching a double feature of Children of the Corn and Christine. I don’t recall when I first started to adore horror movies but tis safe to say we can blame my mom . I recall at one [...]

The hazard of me going back and adding categories, tags TEH RETRO POST! For no one amuses a sybil as much as a sybil. If this shocks you, you are new here aren’t you? First posted: Friday, March 30, 2007, First repost 10/5/07

This is one of those statements that come up – again and again (sorry, bad pun) The old ‘Hey pRon is awesome I likes it, you know you likes it… why you gots to call it erotica? Why ‘pretty it up?’. My deal is if you like porn, you go on with your badself. I [...]

If you are in San Antonio area SA Food Bank and Red Cross need local volunteers. Click on the link for more info. Our thoughts are with everyone on the coast. Please be smart and safe. If you aren’t in SA but the surrounding areas I am sure Red Cross will be in other areas [...]

You may or may not know this but I often do not know how to leave well enough alone. U R Shocked… yes? I started on livejournal, created a blog on blogspot, the ever awesome (and missed) maili changed my template – two or three times, followed by the dearest of janes moving me to [...]

Sybil’s review of Rogue by Danielle Steel Fiction hardcover release from Delacourt Press 24 Jun 08 Rogue is not a romance novel but one has to give kudos to whoever it was that made that poll because no way would it or this book have gotten as much attention from the romance blogland without pulling [...]

This was first posted on 12/16/07 As I have been thinking a lot on reviews and grading (again) I figured you guys should be too . If you commented before (click the date it was first posted) do you still think the same? If you missed the post the first time what are your thoughts? [...]

Sybil’s review of The Power of Love by Foster, McCarthy, Laurey, Stockham, Blake, Castell, Sargeant, McLane, Monroe, Kelley, Maynard, and Wilder Special Romance Anthology released by Berkley on 3 Jun 08 The Power of Love isn’t at all what I thought it would be.
