Oh, hey. I agreed to review this book, but I don’t really remember much about it even though I finished it yesterday. I know that it mostly was about decorating a house, and that the heroine had a secret and that there was a LOT of not particularly interesting sex. Let’s try this again. The book starts with Vessa, our heroine, visiting a woman named Donna (like a title) Edith. Donna Edith matches people with … Continue reading The Dirty Secret by Kira A. Gold →
Hollow Kingdom is NOT a romance novel, I repeat NOT a romance novel. However, I believe some of our readers will, like me, see the crow and dog on the front cover and the octopus on the back and say “GIVE IT TO MEEE.” This review is for you. Much profanity ahead. TW for gore, profanity, violence between animals, and gratuitous Cheeto® consumption. This is not Bambi. Actually, Bambi was terrifying, so…maybe it is Bambi, if Bambi … Continue reading Hollow Kingdom by Kira Jane Buxton →

I'm feeling very sad, and not much like being silly, but I so appreciate the humor that other people have created today. It is much needed, and I am thankful. Specifically, I am thankful for Jim C. Hines and his bear. Jim emailed me asking for suggestions from romance cover art for his poses for charity, and I sent a few. The Pull My Finger Viking, for example, and a few others, but he went … Continue reading Cover Poses, Re-Coverings, and Books on Sale →
