For this month’s TBR Challenge, I didn’t even look up the theme until I’d already finished the book I was intending to read and miraculously, it fits! Scout’s Honor is a 2015 Harlequin Superromance in Stephanie Doyle’s Bakers of Baseball series. I think this is actually book two, but I didn’t read book one and
I do a lot of used romance buying in thrift stores. I actually have a couple of amazing used bookstores in my area, but it’s always wonderfully serendipitous to arrive at a Goodwill the same day someone has off-loaded their complete collection of 1970s Harlequins. Or, in this case, a random Harlequin Romance from 2002
Last week I posted about my best reads of 2016. This week I thought I’d share a few books that I am VERY excited about reading in 2017. Some of these are part of on-going series so I’ll link both Goodreads, pre-order details where available and a link to the first book of the
Last January, I set out to read 100 books off my TBR pile. And guess what? I did it! I still have 662 on it, but whatever, let’s just ignore that. I also read a ton of aliens, shifters and cyborgs, none of which actually made it onto this list because I think if I
I’ve been reading a lot lately, relatively low-angst stuff that manages not to be totally conflict-free. So today here are a few mini-reviews of books I have found low-key and satisfying over the last couple weeks: The Governess Was Wild by Julia Kelly, A Copper Ridge Christmas by Maisey Yates and Too Hot To Handle
Let’s go on a little trip all the way back to 2014. I had just started Cooking Up Romance and joined Twitter when I discovered a brand new, unpublished writer named Tamsen Parker talking about her “technical virgin hero”. Now, I love me a virgin hero and the technical part was too intriguing not to
For TBR Challenge this month I am sooo cheating. Well, sort of. I had intended to read The Sleeping Night by Barbara Samuel, but I completely forgot about the deadline (note to self: add a one week reminder to my TBR Challenge calendar). But Misfits by Garrett Leigh, the book I’m reviewing today, also qualifies.
All I Am by Nicole Helm had all the things I like: two bakers falling in love, a virgin hero, A+ groveling and a bunch of furry characters. Aside from my obvious love for old Harlequins (like, from the 1970s), I really haven’t read that many current ones. But Nicole Helm has had this farmers’
At the end of last year I got a little jealous of everyone doing their Best of 2015 posts. I read a lot and I don’t always review what I read. Plus I’ve never really kept track of books I like best except for a handful of perennial favorites. So I thought this year I
