Friday Videos Clean the Windows
I really, really love spelunking in the depths of vintage YouTube, and this clip dates back to somewhere between 1999 and 2003, from a sketch comedy show called Smack the Pony. You can tell because it says “Smack the Pony” at the top, but mostly because of the exceptionally good resolution on screen here. Woof. It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and I hope your pink Halloween candy is delicious, and that you are treating yourselves and the … Continue reading Friday Videos Clean the Windows

And Now, Back to You by BK Borison
When I sat down to write this piece, I had no idea it would turn into a rant, but it did. My head swirled with thoughts and all of them were burning a hole in my stomach, desperate to be let loose. Release the Kraken! I shouldn’t have read this book. It irritated me MULTIPLE TIMES. It’s irritated me so much that I can’t even bring myself to do a recap of the premise like … Continue reading And Now, Back to You by BK Borison

Welcome back! Hey, remember when I had the flu earlier this year? Well I have it again! Yipee! This sucks! I also got to talk with KJ Charles today for a separate project and it was so much fun, despite me sounding like a chain smoking frog. I’m going to start dousing my body in hand sanitizer. On the plus side, I’ve eaten a lot of soup and I love soup. … After thirty years, All About … Continue reading Links: All About Romance, Queer Desire, & More

Mary Balogh, a Boxed Set, & More
RECOMMENDED: Give Me a Reason by Jayci Lee is $2.99! Guest reviewer Lisa gave this an A-:
Give Me a Reason is absolutely packed with restrained passion and yearning. There’s too much hurt between Frederic and Anne for them to initially approach each other, and yet they still want to be together.

Copper Script by KJ Charles
I’m a big KJ Charles fan so it was inevitable that I would read this book one day. I read it this weekend and I had a great time, with a couple caveats. Aaron is a police detective in London in the 1920s. He is told about a graphologist, Joel, who can decipher people’s personalities from their handwriting with impossible accuracy. Aaron is sure that Joel is a charlatan or a con artist of some … Continue reading Copper Script by KJ Charles
