Two weeks ago, we took a look at the front and back of Keeper by Patricia Gardner Evans. In the comments, more than a few readers said the book itself was really good, and definitely not one to judge by the “still wasters” on the cover. So I took at look at the copy I'd ordered so I could scan the cover, and boy howdy, was it interesting. It's powerful and emotional and the heroine … Continue reading Links! Things to Read!

Books on Sale: Contemporaries, YA, Paranormal YA in a Boarding School, and More!

The Billionaire Next Door by Jessica Bird is currently $2.99 digitally. Bird is better known by her other pen name, JR Ward. No vahmpihres in this book, but it's a lovely contemporary romance, and was part of the 2008 DABWAHA Tournament. Take-no-prisoners deal-maker Sean O'Banyon ate Wall Street financiers for lunch. So why was he losing sleep over a fresh-scrubbed nurse in old jeans and a too-big T-shirt? Maybe it was those warm green eyes. … Continue reading Books on Sale: Contemporaries, YA, Paranormal YA in a Boarding School, and More!

This week, many YA authors were discussing online the recent news that due to insufficient entries, the YA Romance category for the 2014 RITA® has been cancelled. Marni Bates wrote about her reaction, as did Diana Peterfreund. My reaction: Aw, bummer. I discover many terrific authors in the YA Romance category when we do the RITA® Reader Challenge each year, and end up with books I recommend for years afterward. This year I thought there were some … Continue reading YA Romance in 2013

Frayed Cover Recommendations

Featured image for Frayed Cover Recommendations

While compiling the Rachel Gibson “Which One First?” recommendation list (which I'll be posting this week), several readers mentioned what I've termed the “Frayed Cover Recommendation.” To quote Rita, who was talking about See Jane Score ( A | BN | K | S ), “My copy is worn to the point that the cover is completely frayed.” YES. Exactly. When a book has been re-read so many times, the cover has fallen apart, and perhaps … Continue reading Frayed Cover Recommendations
