10. The Olympics are over. Magic Mike is done. What the hell am I going to talk about today? It’s a sad, bleak top ten y’all. Well, it was until David Beckham showed us his ginormous bulge yesterday. But I’m going to make you wait to see it. I can’t give away the good this early. Let me court you for a few numbers first. 9. Are you guys fans of the ABC Family/Hallmark channel Christmas movies? I may have been known to watch these on occasion. Even when it isn’t the holiday season. Lisa Kleypas Continue Reading

It’s Good to be Cheap
By May. The other day I was shopping for books based on some recommended “must read” authors that I’ve yet to try, and I only purchased one book from the more than 40 books that the six authors I was looking into had written. I found authors with backlists that are unavailable for kindle (and out of print/very expensive for paper copy), authors with a backlist that is priced at $10-$15 for kindle versions of older books, and authors who had no inexpensive options for any of their titles. I Continue Reading

Review: Sweet Deception by Heather Snow
Sweet Deception by Heather Snow (Veiled Seduction #2) Historical Romance August 7, 2012 Berkley Reviewed by May “I may not agree with your assumptions, but it is clear you strongly believe the maid is in danger. If there is a chance you are correct, I would like to do what I can.” A huff of exasperation escaped her lips, a gesture Derick took to mean she didn’t think too highly of him or his offer. He allowed a half-cynical smile to curve his lips. What did he care if Miss Emma Continue Reading
