“Please by my vampire wife, mmmmkay?”
Valerie Moyer is kidnapped and held captive in a basement with several other women. She frees herself and manages to call 911 before jumping out of a window. Anders (his first name will be addressed a little later) is an Immortal who works to contain other immortals who rick exposing themselves and all their kind by preying on humans for blood. Anders and his team respond to Valerie’s 911 call and our romance is off to the races. This book was boring as hell. If […]
A Victorian romance with depression, theft and blackmail attempts
Disclaimer! I was granted an ARC of this from Pocket Books through NetGalley in return for a fair and honest review. I should also add that by the time I was granted the ARC, I’d already bought the book in pre-order, because with one horrible exception, she writes awesome books, and is on my automatic pre-order list. Once again, the cover image has little to nothing to do with the contents of the book, although the cover model is at least a redhead, like the heroine. I don’t think […]
Some More Feng Shui Reading — Done
My quest continues, to improve my health, my life, my surroundings. I have recently been making some changes around the house, utilizing the age-old practice of feng shui to improve our surroundings.

Poppin’ Up in Westeros
While there has been a lot of internet speculation (and outrage) over the latest Game of Thrones episode, “Breaker of Chains,” I have been preoccupied with a new acquisition, the Game of Thrones: A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros. Designed by renowned paper engineer Matthew Reinhart and illustrator Michael Komarck, the book is a blast, with not just the cool buildings that populate the fantasy series, but lots of fun pop-up surprises and pull-out guides to all of the warring houses from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels and […]
I loved it and I hated it. But I loved it just a little bit more.
Not too long ago, narfna posted a review of Golden Boy that immediately sent me to my library’s website, reserving the book. And I read it soon after, gobbling it down and finishing it relatively quickly. That was weeks ago. And I still find myself trying to figure out exactly what I thought of it. Golden Boy is the story of Max. Max is a 16 year-old boy. He’s handsome and friendly, wealthy and popular, he’s the captain of the football team, and he’s super smart. He’s the […]
