Forever Young Adult on the Jessica Darling Series,... →
So who read Sloppy Firsts? And the rest of the series? It’s been YEARS for me, but I remember reading it and thinking it was one of the best YA novels I’ve ever read. EVER.
Since I’ve only read the first book, and I just realized there are FOUR more I can read, you guys might be in for a Jessica Darling marathon over here. There is a totally awesome YA-style romance, so it...

The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Fifty Shades of Grey →
This is the most entertaining thing I’ve ever read about Fifty Shades of Grey, certainly far more entertaining than the short bit of the book itself that I managed to read before I turned my Kindle off and threw it across the room. My favorite lines:
“That dry, skittering sound you heard is your fallopian tubes curling like party ribbon.”
“A passage where we find out...

Coming Attractions: Not Romance
I’ve been flitting from book to book and I haven’t really been able to finish anything for quite a while now. It’s kind of a bummer. That said, I’m pretty stoked about some non-romance books I’ve got queued up:
White Oleander - I just went to LA for the first time, and I was reeeeally feeling an LA book
The Hunger Games - I was waiting to be the last person in the...

Great Moments in Commuting
Noticing that the lady next to you on the train is reading the latest Alpha and Omega book, starting a conversation, and getting a ton of paranormal romance recommendations. Even (especially) if the other passengers heard us talk about cat shapeshifters and vampires vs fae romance.
She said she was so captivated by the last book in Karen Marie Moning’s Fever series that she missed her...

Two More Thoughts about the Fever Series
I’ve spent my lunch break at work today looking at Karen Marie Moning’s website, and there’s a great section on her impressions of the Fever series, how she wrote it, and some notes on the characters. I particularly liked this bit about Barrons:
When every other novel I was picking up in the bookstore announced: Vampire/Werewolf/Demon hero on the cover, and was marketing it on...

I HEREBY OPEN THE DISCUSSION
crabby-cakess replied to your photo: Vision in White, by Nora Roberts So where have I…
I sorta want to discuss the friendship angle of this book, but I can’t stop laughing at “white lace enema.”
Well, I am hilarious.
Srsly, though, I did appreciate the friendship aspect of the book, and I liked all four of the women individually (well … maybe not Emma). I especially LOVED Parker,...

tnphotochicken-deactivated20130 asked: Perhaps you could help me. I'm looking for a story where the hero isn't an arrogant alpha-male jerk. I feel like that's an apt description of the leading guy in the past 20 books I've read! Got any suggestions for hot beta male heroes?

auniqubeing asked: Just ran into a message you received regarding Riley Jensons series by Keri Arthur. I have all her books & read them; I must say I really enjoyed them. Yes there are reviewers that may say it's not the best book, but only you can be the judge of that. =) Give her first book a shot and see if you like it...I recommend her books. If not, I would recommend Mary Balogh's series as well....

Progress Report: To Say Nothing of the Dog
This book is a hybrid Victorian comedy of manners and time traveling sci-fi adventure, and if that sounds fun to you, you will probably enjoy this book.
However, if you start reading this book right before Christmas, you may get sidetracked by rereading old holiday romances, visiting parents, job interviewing, day trips down the coast, and New Year’s Eve parties. This doesn’t mean...
