A consul could be a valuable witness and resource to his superiors during a time of unrest, and the time leading up to the Civil War was certainly one of those.

His Public Thor and Bedroom Loki, So Henry Claims

January 22, 2017 by Orleanas 5 Comments

What’s the best way to get over the ex who dumped you for being overweight? Hook up with a hot physical trainer, of course! Except, N.R. Walker’s The Weight of It All (2016) isn’t a romance about revenge but about self love and acceptance. Henry Beckett is 35 and has just been dumped by his live-in, boyfriend of eight years for being “old” and overweight. He’s accused of being old, apparently, because he lived a life that did not include going to clubs, running in the park, […]

Not as great as the first one, but still a fun read

A Murder in Vienna

January 20, 2017 by Mikki Blu 1 Comment

This book is part of a series, but I wasn’t aware of that when I picked it up at the library. The premise sounded intriguing, a blend of romance and mystery, set in Vienna, which I thought would be a nice change from the usual London scene. As per a publisher’s blurb about the book: A murdered Russian princess creates a diplomatic imbroglio in this magnificent mystery set in the midst of the glittering palaces and ballrooms of the Congress of Vienna. As the heads […]

I was looking for something different to read today, and this girl-power-filled graphic novel fit the bill. Maybe.

I was looking for a little pop culture distraction today. Something easy. Not too long. Something I could immerse myself in for a little while and ignore everything else, and then I remembered that I picked Paper Girls Vol. 1 up at the library the other day and said, YES. THIS. And I’m glad I did. I’m not sure I have a clue what’s going on here. But it definitely distracted me for a little while (in a good way. I think). Paper Girls is […]

I’m a Survivor, I’m Gonna Make it…

Remember when Survivor first came out and we were all like, “Wow, that’s crazy!” and sooo many people watched it…and now like 789 seasons later, it’s still on and Jeff Probst is still making people do shitty things for a jar of peanut butter? It also makes me think of Destiny’s Child If I were to be on a Survivor-like show, I want to look like them. But I’d probably look like this: Because I totally ripped my arm open trying to help my husband […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
