Which city ‘s romance novels the most??? – uStarNovels, a personalized romance novel service of which I have never heard, claims that Atlanta is the city who has bought the most uStarNovels. The company has compiled the list by mining information made when a buyer purchases one of their books. Based on my Google statistics(…)

It is hard to believe that this is 2013 already. I feel like the year passed by in a whirl. 2013, for me, was the year of the self published book where we found gems and goats. The Kindle, digital reading and self publishing is remaking the world of books. I’m not sure where it(…)

When Jane asked for our Best of 2012 lists, I knew mine would probably be short but I had no idea how short. I started with 3 books. Three. Books. Total. “WTF?,” I thought. Had I turned into that much of a h8ter? Well, it turns out that I had plenty of B grade reads(…)

My best of 2011 List. I even numbered them. I am happy with how the list turned out. There is a little of everything. One book I left off but I probably shouldn’t have was Snapped by Laura Griffin. It was good enough that I went back and read the entire series. Ditto with Cindy(…)

The order here is me going through my reviews in reverse chronological order and listing my A- and B+ reviews (no A reviews — very sad). It was a pleasant surprise, really: I didn’t think I’d read that many good books in 2011. Shows you how memory can be a fickle thing. To keep it(…)

This year was a bit of a crap year for me. I actually haven’t read all that much—at least in so far as romance is concerned. Between the final semester of school, exams, work and the most severe case of reading burnout I have ever had in my life, I honestly wondered if there would(…)

Even though I’m using the Top Ten Lists tag, this year in checking over my notes, I see I have a lot of B grade books but not as many B+ or A range books of those I read that were published in 2011. Since I want the books on my list to be ones(…)

This list encompasses the best books that I read this year. All books were published in 2011. This list is by no means complete (as there are many books published in this year that I have not read) or calculated – these are simply just books that, on reflection, are the most memorable and well(…)

In alphabetical order, by author’s last name: Red Glove by Holly Black (my review) Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake India Black by Carol K. Carr (Jennie’s and my review) Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter The Shattering by Karen Healey (my review) Huntress by Malinda Lo (my review) Daughter of Smoke and Bone by(…)

2011 does not stand out as one of my more memorable reading years; many books fell in the okay/mediocre range, with a whole lot of B range books and a handful of C range books. Only one D, and no Fs! – which I guess is a good thing, though I feel oddly nostalgic about(…)

For the purposes of this list, I have excluded reissues, books published before 2011, and books which may present a conflict of interest, either because the author had a story in the Agony/Ecstasy anthology or because she assisted me with my novel-in-progress. Here then are several of my favorite 2011 releases, listed in alphabetical order(…)

My list, in no particular order: Katrakis' Last Mistress by Caitlin Crews Review by Jane I loved the angst in this book, the somewhat imperfect hea and the dialogue. The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook – Review by Janine and Shuzluva. I’ve always felt that Meljean Brook was a great writer but, in the past,(…)

In no particular order: A Murderous Procession – Ariana Franklin Something About You – Julie James Quarterback Daddy – Linda Barrett A Rather Charming Invitation – CA Belmond Scarlett Fever – Maureen Johnson The Night of Long Knives – Rebecca Cantrell Suddenly a Bride – Kasey Michaels Marrying the Royal Marine – Carla Kelly Unspeakable(…)

My top 10 for 2010 reflect how idiosyncratic my reading has been this year. I read a lot of categories that were enjoyable but didn't stay with me, some of the most highly praised books of the year (cough Meljean Brook cough) are still in my TBR, and I spent much valuable reading time catching(…)
