Review: A River of Golden Bones by A.K. Mulford
A River of Golden Bones by A.K. MulfordPublished on December 5, 2023 by Harper VoyagerFantasy RomanceReviewed by Kate I was attracted to A River of Golden Bones because of the fairy tale elements to the story - the sleeping curse, a princess named Briar, you know, the usual. Once I got into it though, I realized that there was so much more to love about the book. It’s one of those books that just sucks you in and makes you want to keep reading into the night. Please note, for Continue Reading

Review: Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan
Do Your Worst by Rosie DananContemporary RomancePublished November 14, 2023- BerkleyReviewed by Kate Do Your Worst by Rosie Danan is a fun read. It’s one that is a little difficult for me to review, because I don’t have too many strong feelings about it. Do Your Worst has a good story and fun characters, but it has a few issues that hold it back from being an amazing read. Overall, Do Your Worst is clever and the premise certainly isn’t something you’ll have read about a bunch Continue Reading

It seems the 'Zon is making "improvements" by eliminating the way bloggers grab images from them for their sites. They only sent out an email 2 weeks before the end date, which is very little time to fix anything or figure out work arounds. Expect quite a few bloggers you enjoy having broken links, etc. when you visit their blogs. As for Smexy, this will affect the way the New Release post looks. Again. I'm back to my spreadsheet--which utilizes HTML. Next week I'll have everything Continue Reading
