I know I have been shirking my duties lately, so here are the e-books that have been available for free through Bookbub for the last few days. 1. To Be With You by Opal Mellon No matter how hard she’s tried, Nicole Pierce has always picked the wrong guy. She dumps them as soon as they …

Video of the Day–Dukes and Clowns Are the Same Thing, Right?
I went to my local library today (you don’t want to know how much I wanted to kill them when I got home) and picked up Dukes to the Left of Me, Princes to the Right by Kieran Kramer. I’m a bit of a classic rock nut, so the title alone made me pick it up. …
My Favorite and Least Favorite Novel Tropes
During this last reading slump, I did a lot of thinking about the things that I like and the things that I don’t like when it comes to romance novels, and recently I posted about my hatred of all things vampire and were-related. What I realized is that I am very picky when it comes …
Video of the Day–Sometimes All It Takes Is One Kiss
I know I haven’t posted anything is a week, but things have been a little bit crazy here since late last Thursday night and then I was working on my novel. As a matter of fact, I have only read 1.5 books since last Thursday (the first two books in the Smythe-Smith Quartet by Julia …
Video of the Day–August 8th
I first saw RENT on Broadway two days before I graduated high school back in 2004–my dad took me to see it as a graduation present (my chorus performed Seasons of Love outside of Lincoln Center the month previously). Your Eyes struck me as hauntingly beautiful. For those that have never seen the show, Roger meets Mimi …
Video of the Day for August 7th–A Permanent Lock
Today’s video is a bit long, but stick with it. The relationship between General Hospital’s Lucky and Elizabeth was one of the first ones I shipped. I remember watching this episode back in 1999 and thinking that it was all so incredibly romantic. These were two characters that had been through a lot together (Liz’s …
Trying a New Author
Until recently, I pretty much stuck with the same authors, my bookshelves looking like an homage to Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb and Karen Rose. I was loathe to try anyone new, and honestly I’m not sure why. I didn’t start out only wanting to read one author (boy would my reading have been limited–7 books until Casual …
Video of the Day for August 6th–A Love Spell
I started watching Buffy when I was in 8th grade during the show’s third season; I actually don’t even remember the first episode I saw. I do remember watching Graduation Day Part II and explaining the characters to my mom (“What do you mean he’s a werewolf? lol). The day Once More with Feeling premiered, I …
What Do You Do When You Don’t Want to Read?
I seem to be in a reading slump. All day every day, I look at this pile of books that I borrowed from the library last week and I am just not inspired to read any of them. There isn’t anything wrong with any of them, but I just am not in the mood to …
Free E-books for August 5th
After taking the weekend off, I’m back with some free e-books for you today. 1. The Wild One by Danelle Harmon “The bluest of blood, the boldest of hearts; the de Montforte brothers will take your breath away.” England, 1776: Lord Gareth de Montforte is known as an irresponsible rake with a heart of gold. …
