Dear Readers, I don't know if it was Jayne's recent review of the Merchant-Ivory film adaptation of this novel, or a discussion of Forster's works that some of us on Twitter got into a while back. There's also the fact that every time I see Jennie do one of her classics reviews, I think to(…)

Dear Ms. James, I was under the impression that I had previously only read one book by you. A trip down memory lane, via my book log, proved me wrong. (BTW, my log is celebrating its 10th anniversary! Thanks for the memories, Microsoft Excel! I can barely remember what I read yesterday these days, so(…)

“For straight-and-narrow art restorer Ardis Bellamy, a trip to the South of France to reclaim a historic blue diamond necklace should have been only mildly nervewracking. Understatement. In order to succeed, she’s going to have to learn whom she can and can’t trust, give the thugs who are chasing her the slip, and decide whether(…)

Dear Ms. Lennox, I first encountered your novels in the Harlequin Romance line. While I usually avoid books set in made-up principalities starring royal heroes like the plague, you managed to give your characters believable backstories and motivations. And when I went on to read your Medical Romances, you quickly became one of my favorite(…)

Dear Ms. Kearsley, For the last two or three years readers have been recommending your novels, but they've haven't been easily available in the US. So when I saw that one of them was being published here, I jumped at the chance to read it. The Winter Sea is difficult to slot into a romance(…)

Dear Ms. Morgan, You have become of my autobuy, go-to authors, not just in category romance but as a writer of satisfying reads, full stop. The first book of yours I read was a Medical Romance in your Glenmore series, when M&B briefly made it available as one of their free reads. I enjoyed it(…)

Dear Mademoiselle de Lully, Several readers recommended this book to me as the ultimate f/f/m ménage romance. They were all absolutely right. I bought it on Christmas Day (using my new kindle!) and I'm so glad I did. La Bonne was a delight from start to finish. I'm not going to include the back-cover description(…)

Dear Ms. Moning, Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I am a Fever-aholic. This is a post about addiction. Yes, dear ones, I did read book four of the Fever series, DreamFever, by candlelight because the electricity went out the night I got my hands on a copy. I started reading this series in 2006,(…)

In the spirit of better-late-than-never reviews, here is one of my favorite books of 2010. Dear Ms. Beverley, Before there were Mallorens, before there were Rogues, there was the Daffodil Dandy. You are justly renowned for your ability to create a fully realized world inhabited by characters across multiple books, but readers who love your(…)

Dear Mrs. Simonson, This may be your first published book but wow, just wow. I am in love with it and want to go around telling all my friends, my coworkers, total strangers on the street, almost everyone about it. I haven’t read too many A grade books this year but the wait for another(…)

Dear Ms. Bliss, Jane sent me Here Comes the Groom after I told her how much I loved your last book, What the Librarian Did. Like What the Librarian Did, Here Comes the Groom takes a fairly cliched romance novel convention and gives it the kind depth and re-charge that I think is lacking in(…)

Dear Ms. Perkins, This was a book I just knew I would like. I often talk about the unexplainable pull I have to certain things. Movies, television shows, books. There are certain ones that just tug at the very fiber of my being and say, “You’ll love me!” Ms. Perkins, your book was not(…)

Carina is putting out three (invitation only) holiday anthologies, one contemporary, one paranormal, and one male/male. It is apparently possible to buy the stories grouped in the anthology, but also separately, individually, which I think is a fascinating choice. I was thrilled when I saw the m/m lineup: L.B. Gregg, Harper Fox, Josh Lanyon, and(…)

Dear Ms. Barnes, Many moons ago, when Smart Bitches, Trashy Books hosted a bookchat for this book. I finished it a mere two hours beforehand, but I was so glad I did. The chat was amazing, but more so was the actual book. The bitchery and I discussed so many excellent topics for about it(…)

Posh Nosh (2003) Genre: Cooking Show parody Grade: A Well, it’s the day after Thanksgiving here in the US and I’m sure some people are still in a turkey stupor. But for those of you who’ve managed to regain conciousness or those who don’t celebrate the holiday, here’s a little treat in the form of(…)
