Changing Tastes
Back before everything changed in March, I thought my tastes in romance were pretty much set in stone. I loved romantic suspense, Regency romances, and lots of spies. Then, the Rona hit. Unlike many people, I was able to read–in fact, I’ve read more this year than I ever have before, but what I’ve noticed …
Books to Keep You Warm This Weekend
It seems that no matter what part of the country you’re in there is going to be some kind of wild weather this weekend. If you’re on the East Coast like most of my family, you’re probably stocking up on rock salt, making sure your shovels are within inches of your door, and checking the …

Nothing has been proven, but the …
Holiday Romances
As anyone who watched television knows, the holiday season is upon us once again, which means that there will be a slew of Christmas themed books lining the shelves of your local CVS. Having grown up Catholic, I’ve read my fair share of Christmas romances, but let’s face it Christmas is but one holiday at …
February Books
Doesn’t it always seem as if new books come out in February? I wonder if the publishing industry has a “sweeps” period like television and they choose to release more books during this time than in others because it makes their statistics look better. Anyway, I’ve already posted about the new Karen Rose novel, which …
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.
