Nice Mommy~Evil Editor

So I read 278 books in 2010. Is that still an impressive number when I add that 70 of them were books I’d read at least once before? But I don’t re-read a book unless I love it, and some of these I’ve read literally dozens of times. So here are some of my favorite [...]

A few stats to start us off. Books read in 2009: 222 Books read in 2010: 277 (55 more books than 2009, go me!) First book read in 2010: Bound by Cin by Jenna Maclaine Last book read in 2010: Perfect Play by Jaci Burton (an ARC, not due to release until February 1, 2011. [...]

In past years, it would have been impossible for me to do this post. During my time with Samhain, I edited just over 250 titles in 4 years. I worked for royalties and more editing equaled a living wage! But since my situation with Carina is different, and editing is not actually in my main [...]

I think it’s only fair to follow the “what do you hate” post from earlier in the week with a post of the three things that are just about guaranteed to grab me when I’m reading 1) Injure the heroine: Yes, I’m a bit sick in the head, but I love it when the heroine [...]

I always read before bed, but recently I’ve been using that time to read the samples instead of entire books. During my vacation, I had pictures of [...]

Last week I mentioned I’d been using Goodreads to track my reads and my thoughts on some of the books. Some of you said you liked my reviews, thanks! One of the things I wanted to ask in that post, and didn’t, is how you use Goodreads. I often feel like there’s a lot more [...]

As part of All Romance eBooks’ 28 Days of Heart campaign, I’ve been featured as the 12th of 28 romance bloggers. You can check out the interviews of all 28 here, or scroll to day 12 to read my interview! Read on for more about the 28 Days of Heart Campaign: In conjunction with our [...]

Though I haven’t been updating here about my reading, and actually took those widgets off my sidebar because they were populated by LibraryThing and I’ve been using Goodreads instead (link to my Goodreads account), I have been reading what I think is an impressive amount (for me). Considering that I’ve still been reading submissions, and [...]
