A Regency romance heavy on the flirting

March 31, 2014 by Malin 5 Comments

Miss Titania “Tansy” Danforth is all alone in the world. Her beloved brother was a soldier who died in the war of 1812, and her parents died in a carriage accident. Now she’s had to leave the home she knew in New York to travel back to England, where she hasn’t lived since she was a little girl. Her father’s will states that she’ll not have her fortune released until she marries a man approved by her new guardian, her father’s cousin, the fearsome Duke […]

Dear Killer

March 30, 2014 by Caitycat Leave a Comment

This is a story about a teenage girl who is one of the most elusive killers in London. A lot of the details make the story seem unbelievable, but it was okay if you suspend belief a bit. You can read my full review here.

Avalon

I really liked this new series by the author of The Nightmare Affair. It’s got a really likable main character, and themes similar to the show Firefly. You can read my review here.

MelBivDevoe’s CBR Review #8: So, That Happened.

March 30, 2014 by MelBivDevoe 1 Comment

Well, that was certainly… something. I finished this novel over 24 hours ago and I’m still trying to collect my thoughts on it.  Might as well start at the beginning.  Be forewarned, there will be SPOILERS all over the place. The story picks up right where “The Year of the Flood” left off.  As Ren, Amanda, Toby, and Jimmy attempt to deal with the murderous Painballers, the Crakers approach and, due to their lack of knowledge and fear, help the Painballers slip their bonds and […]

I Like You Very Much. Just As You Are

March 30, 2014 by Berry 8 Comments

Falling in love with a work of fiction or a fictional character can be a tricky business, and in many ways it resembles and reflects the experience of falling in love with a so called real person. Which is why Dustin Rowles comparing the Veronica Mars movie experience to briefly reuniting with an old lover was so apt, and also why I’m going to shamelessly steal that analogue for the purposes of writing a review for The Thousand Dollar Tan Line, the first in the […]

Fortunately, there’s no page limit.

Yeah, that’s right, I’m reviewing a short kids book.  A girl’s gotta make up time somehow.  However, I did throw in a review for Chu’s Day as a bonus.
