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.

I’ve been in a serious reading slump. Not that I’m not reading, but all my reading for almost 6 weeks has been almost exclusively work–edits and submissions (though I did read and finish Right Here, Right Now by HelenKay Dimon. Fabulous dialogue!). I have some great books that I want to read but my motivation, [...]

Otherwise titled: the promo post. (oops, I hit publish instead of save so some of you saw the unfinished version!) This year I had two Christmas books release. I like to do one or two Christmas novellas each year. Sometimes I’ll ask an author if they’d like to do one, sometimes the author will ask [...]

Shadow Music** Sybil wrote about how she didn’t love the book and wondered how it would be received by readers. In the comments, I mentioned that I would be buying it, [...]

HelenKay Dimon a little RomanceLand love. Go read her blog here, to see what she’s been dealing with in the way of rabid fangrrl craziness. I had posted on the original topic about Diana Gabaldon, saw the poster in question remark on how she shouldn’t be reviewing the book if she hadn’t read it, which [...]

Last week I was in Borders (which is an experience itself since there’s not one within a couple hours of me and I adore Borders) and I had a gift card to spend. I went in thinking I really didn’t need any books and that I’d probably buy Brianna some books (though, to be honest, [...]

http://news.monstersandcritics.com/usa/news/article_1364289.php/Virginia_woman_age_75__taking_a_hammer_to_Comcast “What the hell, I’m 75,” said Bristow resident Mona Shaw about heading into the Comcast office in Manassas, Virginia with a hammer and using it on a telephone and computer keyboard, after trying for days to have her phone service connected. Frustrated over lack of customer serivce, Mona Shaw had heard and seen enough [...]

Again. I’m headed to New Jersey for their local RWA conference. If you’re in the Iselin area (or within a few hours) you really need to stop by the book signing on Saturday. This is a fairly large conference, very “mini-nationals” and the booksigning is big! I’m doing a shocking thing and leaving my laptop [...]
