More users than ever before are accessing the internet via mobile devices and frankly our mobile set up was not cutting it. We moved to a responsive theme. The idea behind this is that no matter what size your browser is, the content is generally the same and easy to read. Try it. Resize your(…)

We are doing an upgrade to the backend of the theme and will have some minor tweaking to do throughout the weekend. I’ve got to add the “tags” at the top of the blog post for one and fix the bullet points in the lists on the sidebar, but if you notice something let me(…)

October was a month for reading material with fantastical elements. All three of the works I read were promising, but only one ended up satisfying me. White Cat by Holly Black My husband and I started reading this contemporary YA paranormal, which Jia reviewed favorably awhile back, after it was recommended by a friend. We(…)

Courting the Enemy by Renee Ryan – I liked the first book in this inspie WWII series but even 1/3 of the way through this one still hadn’t got off the ground for me. When I read a book about espionage and spies during wartime, I expect some action. Perhaps I didn’t wait long enough(…)

Space Slugs by Frances Pauli – What starts well doesn’t necessarily end well. There are tons of plot threads that are tossed in then left and the world building needs help. See posted review. Unnatural Fire by Fidelis Morgan – I picked this one up and enjoyed it though I didn’t love it like a(…)

Here’s a recap: Archangel’s Consort by Nalini Singh I picked up this third novel in Nalini Singh’s Guild Hunter series in preparation for book four, Archangel’s Blade, which I had committed myself to reviewing.(…)

My entries for this feature might end up being sporadic as I often don’t know what I’m going to read next until I eye my TBR print stacks or flip through my menu screens on my ereader. I’m just as spontaneous in my movie watching, too. And once I start a book, the odds are(…)

I’m a slow reader, and rarely read more than a book a week. In the past two weeks, I managed to read one third of a novella, half a novel, and one book from start to finish. Here’s a recap. A Paris Affair by Adelaide Cole This erotic Harlequin Spice Brief begins with Valerie, the(…)

The number of books I read any given week more or less depends on their respective genres. If I’m reading YA or romances, I will burn through many books. On the other hand, if I’m reading a doorstopper epic fantasy, it can take a while and I’ll only finish one. This was a Only One(…)

I may be the slowest writer and least frequent reviewer of the DA crew, but I surely do read a lot. I have this funny (at least it’s funny to my husband) habit of buying more than one ebook at a time. If I’m going to go to the effort to surf the bookstore and(…)

First, though, our winner. Winner(…)

I can hardly believe it is already Thursday. The holiday shortened week (for the US readers) and last week’s RWA conference has me all mixed up. Hopefully I will get caught up by Sunday. Item number one today is the news that we are going to host a Q&A with Maya Banks. Why Maya Banks?(…)
