Dear Ms. Salvatore,
I don’t think it’s unfair to say there are a lot of vampire books out there. Sometimes I feel like they should get their own category separate from paranormal books in general. But even so, I think your debut injected some light humor into a subgenre dominated by [...]

I had the strangest reaction to this book. On the one hand, I really liked the voice and the interaction between the characters. On the other, I hated, loathed really, the setup and the silly situations in which the characters were placed to evoke conflict.

Dear Readers,
I got some first volumes of some shoujo series from Viz for review. I’ve not read any of the series, so I’ll just be providing my first impressions based upon all the Vol 1’s, a couple at a time.
Wild Ones by Kiyo Fujiwara. Viz. $9.99. T for Teen (innuendo, some cartoony violence). 6 volumes [...]

Today’s guest review comes from author Jennifer Estep. Estep pens funny novelizations inspired by the comic book ouvre featuring Bigtime and the super heroes/heroines (Karma Girl and Fiera, for example) and ubervillians that inhabit the city.

Donald E. Westlake is the funniest writer you’re not reading.
Never heard of him? I probably wouldn’t have either, if [...]

Ladies,
This is the second book I’ve read in your series set in the minuscule west Texas town of Salt Lick featuring the dynamic duo of hair stylists Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin. And while I still love all the titles of the books, this one fell far short of book one in the [...]

Dear Mr. Beaumont,
While reading another of your books, “The E Before Christmas” I was in stitches. This book had me almost crying as I watched yet another “train wreck” occur for a British ad agency. The scene is mainly on the set of a brill TV advert for tyres (tires to us Americans) which [...]

Dear Ms Cach,
I told you this was one of my favorites of your older books and here’s my gushing fangrrl letter about it.
Oh. My. God. This book is a winner. Screamingly funny heroine with a nose ring and a pink dye job is contacted by a secret organization known as B. L.I. S. S. [...]

Dear Mrs. Michaels,
Just an aside, the whole time I was reading this one I kept thinking of antihistamines and sleep meds.
Allegra Crispino’s mother ran off with an Italian opera singer and was cut off by her father, the Baron Dugdale (which is a silly name, isn’t it?). Now he’s on death’s door and has [...]

Dear Ms. Rowe,
While reading “Must Love Dragons” I kept getting feelings of deja vu. I think other readers will as well since there are a lot of similarities with “Date Me, Baby, One More Time.” I feel that a reader’s response to that book will determine their grade for this one.
You left [...]

Dear Ms. St. John,
As a woman of curves, I was happy to be offered the chance to read your book “Real Women Don’t Wear Size 2.” But while I enjoyed some things about it, there was an equal amount that just didn’t work for me.
Clarise Robinson is tired of just wishing for a [...]
