There is a meme making the rounds in blogland called 5 Things I Know For Sure but hey, that's too personal for this blog so I'm changing it to 5 Things I Know For Sure About Romance Novels. 1. HEA is not to be toyed with. Hey

My painful confession - I'm a reality television junkie....
Saturday, 28 October 2006 1:24 P GMT-06
Yes, I know, it's not something most people want to admit to, but I'm a reality television junkie. I can't even begin to understand how it happened. It's all so insidious. I was a person who, until about six years ag

A (Very) Oddly Romantic Moment
Friday, 27 October 2006 7:49 A GMT-06
If you're a fan of Nip/Tuck or even if you're not, you might enjoy this scene from Tuesday night's show that is one of the most oddly romantic moments I've ever seen on television. Not to overwhelm you with details, but Mrs. Grub
Celebrating the Good
Monday, 23 October 2006 4:19 P GMT-06
After kvetching in my last blog about the lamentable state of historical romance, I thought it might be a nice exercise to relive the good stuff - the very best historical romances as defined by the very personal tastes of yours truly. In no par
It's time for a few sharp words.
Wednesday, 18 October 2006 4:04 P GMT-06
Can I have a word with you publishers?What in the heck is going on? I love romance novels. Make that I love romance novels. So, why the heck can't I find anything to hold my attention?I've one DIK this year. One.
A Perfect Heroine?
Sunday, 15 October 2006 10:26 A GMT-06
Women love her. Men love her. She's w-a-a-ay more gorgeous than any woman has a right to be, but somehow she still manages to convince a whole lot of people (me, included) that she's just good old Jen, the girlfriend we'd all
Where are all the Heroes?
Sunday, 15 October 2006 9:52 A GMT-06
Just lately I've come to realize one of the major reasons I've pretty much sworn off regency historicals. I still pick one up if it's by a favorite author, but in general I've started to avoid them like the plague. What oc

What I've been doing while I haven't been reviewing...
Friday, 13 October 2006 8:57 P GMT-06
I don't know if anyone has noticed, but I haven't been writing very many reviews lately. Not any in the last few months, and even before that I was considerably down from my one-time high of 8 per month. I am in a serious reading

A certain friend of a friend of a friend, we'll call her Mary, recently had a baby. While pregnant with a boy she was asked by someone (don't want to give details because that's a whole nother bucket o' worms) who the father was she s
Revisiting Old Favourites
Tuesday, 10 October 2006 5:20 P GMT-06
Sandy's post about Buffy, coupled with the mad desire to spring clean, had me looking through my massive (and somewhat eclectic) collection of CDs on my day off yesterday. I've been a compulsive buyer of music since I earned my first allowanc

Once More With Feeling!
Monday, 9 October 2006 6:10 A GMT-06
Isn't it great to fall in love with something all over again?The prices have dropped so much on the various seaons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer that I bought my first set of DVDs, starting with the ultimate Season Five featuring Buffy and Spike, D
Choosing My Review Books
Saturday, 7 October 2006 6:44 A GMT-06
I've been reviewing at AAR for five years now and, for most every single one of those months I've done at least four reviews, and sometimes five or six.Every month when Blythe sends out the list of books sent by publishers available for revie
Why isn't phonetic spelled like it sounds?
Thursday, 5 October 2006 4:36 P GMT-06
So the last book that I reviewed over at AAR, Love, Lust and Pixie Dust, was a series of short stories set in Nashville about a family from Brooklyn. Now the plot, setting, details, are all unimportant to this little blog entry. What is importan
Romance Covers from the Month of Luvvvvv....aka February
Tuesday, 3 October 2006 4:01 P GMT-06
February being a short month, there was a short stack of romances to be reviewed. There are still some noteworthy picks.First, though, I want to say most romance covers do their job of being sexy, romantic, cute, clever, edgy. They might
Nip/Tuck is Back!
Tuesday, 3 October 2006 11:34 A GMT-06
I know my title is the same as Rachel's.But just to prove that I'm not a total copycat, my title has a double meaning. Nip/Tuck, the "disturbingly perfect" drama about two Miami-based plastic surgeons, has been back for three

The good news is... Veronica Mars is BACK!!! On the new CW at 9 PM tomorrow night. That's less than 24 hours from now. Ooooh, I can't wait. The bad news is: I don't have cable. My husband got rid of

Getting My Knickers in a Twist
Monday, 2 October 2006 3:39 P GMT-06
So, I'll admit that I read Squawk Radio. Things are awfully, relentlessly sweet over there, by gum, but I'm a big fan - make that a very big fan - of a few of those authors, so, hey, what can I say?The Squawkers launched a new site toda
