So in my further exploration into Mary Balogh’s back catalog I started a bunch of her series at once. As they come in at the library I shall give them a try, and keep reading at random. It’s making for a lot of similar stories, but sometimes one just needs a whole lot of happy mindless-ness. This is the start of the Huxtable Quintet. It begins with Elliott, Viscount Lyndgate and heir to a dukedom, arriving in the middle of nowhere searching for the Huxtable […]
Slightly Serious, but Still O So Good
As a Christmas Book Exchange gift from my Romance Twin, Mrs. Julien, sent me this one. I knew it would be read quickly. It’s the last in the Bedwyn Saga by Mary Balogh, but I don’t think I was really missing out having not read the previous entries. And I plan to get to them at some point in this coming year. But for now it was the perfect little read over the holidays with a serious, eldest sibling hero and the spirited heroine who […]
Scrappy Little Memoir
I don’t remember where I first saw Anna Kendrick. It very well might have been Twilight. But ever since Up in the Air we are excellent terms. And I hear from many she has a delightful social media presence, but honestly: I can’t be bothered to keep up with any of it. I am not now, nor ever have been hip, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy watching Anna Kendrick in movies. So I learned more about her. Ms. Kendrick covers her life up […]
Fast Talking Fun
So I was pretty much the perfect age for Gilmore Girls. I’m almost the same age as fictional Rory, and growing up without cable my options were limited. (I watched Gilmore Girls and West Wing, it was a magical time in my teenage life). Even when I studied abroad in college I got weekly updates of what happened in the episodes from my old roommate so I’d be ready for the new season when I came back (clearly we’re talking pre-digital anything here, and DVD […]
Books! All the Books!
Thank you, thank you, thank you Mrs. Julien! I didn’t realize the other day that Katie totally gave us each other, but it’s worked out stupendously. I received a Slightly Dangerous by Mary Balogh the other day in ebook form (how I read most of my romances), and then came home yesterday to this lovely sight! I’ve wanted to read Uprooted for a couple of years now, and as a baker I love new cookbooks. Especially ones specifically designed for home baking at its best. […]
Another entry into the leading romance trope of 2016: slightly redeemable a**holes
2016 is the year of the slightly redeemable a*hole in romance. Between Richard in Act Like It, Raven from Dukes Prefer Blondes, and Joshua Templeman from The Hating Game we had quite a year. And then the lovely Patty threw out a phrase that caught my eye. Well, two phrases. German soccer star. Terrible and magnificent. She was right on all counts. Kulti is the story of Sal, the lead scorer on a women’s professional soccer team in the US and Reiner Kulti, a recently […]
