Last month during Thanksgiving weekend, I took about 4 days off from work–shocking, I know–and during that time I decided to re-read Anne Bishop’s Dark Jewels trilogy, but also read some of the additional books that I hadn’t read, because I’d gotten an ARC of The Shadow Queen , it had been years since I’d [...]

***This post will have spoilers so don’t read if you plan on reading the books!*** I started reading Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse series when the first book was released. I had never read Charlaine Harris before, but I was desperately glomming everything paranormal, long before paranormal was “in” (when I had to hunt out small [...]

I meant to do this post before I left town, but ran out of time. But darn it, I’ve come this far, I am NOT going to let a little thing like being out of the country with limited access to the internet stop me from participating in the monthly TBR day. I only hope [...]

I only got home Tuesday night from my two week trip to North Dakota/San Francisco/Nashville and I’m packing again. By this time tomorrow I’ll be in Atlanta, where I’ll fly to Los Angeles and then to Auckland, New Zealand. I’ll be gone for two weeks again, visiting New Zealand and Australia. I know I was [...]

By the skin of my teeth! How can it be the third Wednesday already? This month I actually read 6 TBR books, but only two TBR authors. I read three books by Patricia Briggs and three by Lois McMaster Bujold. Okay, technically I read four by Patricia Briggs, but one of them was a new [...]

Who is so smart and witty and interesting to talk to, that you want to run out and grab their backlist. Of course, if you’re already a fan of their books, even better, since you’ve already read and/or own their backlist. I had no idea that I was going to have a chance tonight to [...]

I almost didn’t make it by the deadline! I’m getting ready to leave for another work trip (to Florida, just for the weekend) so this is going to be a little more brief, but I didn’t want to miss participating in TBR Day. It’s actually been a great thing for me, because it’s motivated me [...]

Okay, the first month of Keishon’s TBR challenge. I’m not setting my goals too high. I figure if I do one book a month, I’m doing well. I’m going to use the same format for my posts that I used for the old TBR challenges I hosted here, with a few additions to the format. [...]

The book has well-drawn characters, a fast-paced, interesting, compelling storyline, enough romance to satisfy the romance-lovers and it doesn’t leave you hanging at the end but it does leave you wishing you could read the next one right now, because you want to stay in the world Ann has built and wallow around for awhile.

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

 

Find Me Here

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
