Dear Ms. Dahl: I’m probably not going to do this book justice in the review and I actually have some fear of turning people off the book based on what I am going to write. Robin and I talked about the book and she said it was brave and I agree. It’s brave because Jane, [...]

Dear Ms. Fleischer: When I saw that the novella you sent to Dear Author for review was published by Drollerie Press, I eagerly snagged it for review. Unfortunately, it’s been a while getting to the review, but I at least hope I can encourage a few readers to try Over Her Head, a sweet, nicely-crafted [...]

Dear Mr. Eisler: Fault Line was the first book of yours that I’d read. I’ve since read more, by the way. In the past, I have worked at Intellectual Property law firms as well as in the legal department of a Bio-Tech firm, so I am intimate with the portion of Fault Line that deals [...]

Dear Ms. Adrian: I’ve had an on again off again relationship with this series. I adored Midnight Awakening but struggled with Veil of Midnight. I liked Shades better than the last two but not as much as Midnight Awakening. One of the things that I enjoyed about Shades was that the story was more about [...]

Dear Ms. Maxfield. I listed this book as one or my Top Books of 2009, so I should do a review of it. I had such fun rereading it. I love meta books: books that are enacting the very thing they’re about as they’re relating it. Books about romance authors are a favorite of mine [...]

Dear Ms. Mallory: I remember a number of people raving about your debut in the If You Like Debut books thread. I bought the debut book, Knight of Desire, but by the time I got around to reading it your second book, Knight of Pleasure, was out. So I read that one first. While I [...]

Ms. Linden: I came away from this book thinking that I should have liked the story more than I did and I wasn’t sure why. Your prose is good, as always. You have thoughtful characters. I liked the premise – the story of a man whose honor was totally stripped away by a false [...]

Dear Ms. Wolff: I am ordinarily not a fan of the holiday focused book although I know that these are popular with many many readers (including my dear blogging partner, Jayne). However, I did enjoy your first book with Harlequin, A Christmas Wedding. That book contained quite a few out of the ordinary elements including [...]

Dear Ms. Garnier: This is another book I don’t think I would have picked up on my own because author’s name made me think of the hair color. Huzzah for review copies. Antonia “Toni” Kearney and Grey Richards have been a couple for about two years. Grey had solicited Toni’s services as a logo designer [...]

Dear Ms. Ranney: I confess that the title of the this book was a bit offputting (not to mention factually inaccurate for the story). I was initially put off by the title and the blurb but the book was sent by the publisher and after the first chapter, I was very interested in what came [...]

Dear Readers, I just have to tell you about this manga. This isn’t a typical manga for me to review because it’s not a romance manga, and it’s not really about the characters. It’s about food. I’m a serious foodie. I love exploring foods of all cultures, from low cuisine to high. And I love [...]

National Book Critics Circle posted a summarization of the results of its Ethics in Book Reviewing survey. It’s okay to ignore self published authors and you shouldn’t review a book without reading the whole thing. There’s lots of other stuff, like whether it is more appropriate to eat m&m’s or hershey kisses while reviewing and [...]

There has been a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth in the publishing realm over the downsizing or wholesale elimination of newspaper print review sections due to lack of advertising dollars. Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Book Review section was the latest casualty. AJC’s decision to terminate Book editor, Teresa Weaver, started a print and blogging [...]
