I was watching the newest episode of The Goldbergs earlier today and it featured the song The Safety Dance, which as far as I know has never been a cool song. It is one of those songs that everybody knows, but no one ever admits to liking. It was the Mmbop of the day (I will admit …

Free and Discount Books for 1/25/2014
If you’re a fan of cheap or even free e-books, this is your lucky day. The good people at Book Gorilla sent me a list of discounted e-books and I’ve condensed it for you, my readers. These deals are only through Amazon, but may be available elsewhere. 1. On A Night Like This by Barbara …
Snow Day Reading?
Here on the East Coast we had a pretty big snow storm yesterday–we got more than twice what was predicted and I know a lot of people stayed home from work and school today because of the snow and frigid temperature combination. I actually managed not shoveling today (my aunt stayed home and used the …

The Romance Reader Vlog #3
I swore I posted this the other day, but I guess the post didn’t go live. In the third installment of the Vlog, I talk about the different books I’ve been reading lately and why none of them actually worked for me. Mentioned are The First Love Cookie Club, which I reviewed the other day, and …
Review of “The First Love Cookie Club” by Lori Wilde
I know, I know, Christmas was two weeks ago, but I just found this book on Scribd the other day and I decided to give it a try. It looked cute and light, so I figured I was in for a good ride. Boy was I wrong. Sarah Collier was a nerdy 15 year old …
The Romance Reader Vlog #2
I have been a bit busy lately, but I found some time to sit down and do another Vlog. In this one, I talk about series romance and what works/doesn’t work for me.
Something New for 2014
This afternoon I decided to try something new and used my webcam to make a Vlog–sorry about the quality; I don’t know why it is so grainy. I also don’t know why it is 30 minutes long when it was only 18 when I recorded it, so I will work on talking less in the …
My First Romance Novel
One of my neighbors died this morning. I didn’t know her very well, despite living across the street from her for almost 14 years. I did know that she liked to read Harlequin romance novels. I know this because she is the person who gave me my first romance novel. Actually, she gave me a …
Review of “Naked in Death” by J.D. Robb
As I mentioned in my last post, I have been re-reading Naked in Death by J.D. Robb and that I have noticed a few things in this reading that I hadn’t in the past. What disturbs me about this reading is how much I don’t like Roarke. I have never had a problem with his character …
