 As time winds down for 2006, it's time for many of us to make New Years Resolutions, in hopes that the coming year will be better.  A couple years ago, instead of making the typical, "I will lose that extra weight," "I w

One of my daily Web stops is Romancing the Blog.Today there's yet another post about snarky reivews - this time the target seems to be snarky blog reviews. Problem is the author goes so far out of her way to make it clear that she's not

What's the Difference?

Tuesday, 26 December 2006 6:32 P GMT-06
Last weekend I realized something about myself.  The romantic movies I love best don't have HEA's.  How odd is that.  I've been a reader of romances for forever and though I'm fine with a less then perfect HEA (I don

Does it make me a bad person...

Sunday, 17 December 2006 6:07 P GMT-06
...if I just don't want to put up a Christmas tree? I realized I'm the mother of an almost three-year-old boy, and that he should experience the joys of the season, but in my defense, he did have the tree trimming experience when we put

Soap Operas and Romance Novels

Saturday, 16 December 2006 2:13 P GMT-06
As a teen and young adult, I watched a fair amount of soap operas, in particular, General Hospital.  A few months ago, I happened to see a story indicating that Laura (of Luke and Laura fame) might be coming back to GH.  I did a search on t

So I had knee surgery yesterday. I'm fine, on lots of pain killers, but basically laid up for a week or so. Pooor me. Pooooor poooooor me with all this time to read! Now I have a bunch of e-books to read and review for AAR, so I'll be sure to

The "disturbingly perfect" series heads off into the South Beach sunset.

Tuesday, 12 December 2006 4:40 P GMT-06
If you don't watch Nip/Tuck, would you believe me when I tell you that there's nothing else like it on TV - now or ever? With almost equal parts of soap opera, drama, comedy, sex, and surgeries, its pleasures are legion. When it&#

Saturday, 9 December 2006 2:31 P GMT-06
I should begin by saying any season is reading season for me, and any place I am is a reading place. In fact, wherever I go, I have at least one book with me, tucked in a purse, a briefcase, or a pack. I read in restaura

As the Season Winds Down…….

Saturday, 2 December 2006 5:58 A GMT-06
We're now heading into that sad time of year for television.  No, I don't mean the start of holiday shows, I mean the end, by and large, of the fall reality shows.  So, I thought it was time to do a quick recap of some of my favorit
