I try not to read two books by the same author in succession unless it’s a series, because there’s such a thing called ‘author fatigue’ for me. This happens when the books I read begin to sound just like the last one I’ve read of the author that I tend to become disinterested in reading […]

Title: 44 Cranberry Point
Author: Debbie Macomber
Year published:2004
Why did you get this book?
It won the inaugural Quills Award (I spoke of that earlier), and curious about what the panel of judges sees in this book, I bought it.
Do you like the cover?

Stumbled upon this insightful AAR interview with Judith McNaught, and since I’m about to start on her Once & Always’, it was really helpful to know how she started and what inspired her to write Every Breath You Take and all the wonderful Regency Historical she wrote.

It’s been a busy week at work, what with two newsletters to push out and a website to finish revamping to meet the end Jan deadline. I haven’t started on the book earmarked for January’s challenge, but I did have a good look at my TBR pile to find a match for each theme, and […]

Was blog surfing last night and couldn’t resist picking up the gauntlet thrown down by Angie.
We’ve got 20 readers whose challenge this year would be to pick a book (or books) from our TBR (to be read) pile that fits the theme of the month, read it and review it on our blogs.
January’s TBR Challenge: […]

This post is for Kristie, who thought it’d be fun to reflect on her favourite books published this year. My choices would be:
1. The Marriage Trap by Elizabeth Thornton
I’ve enjoyed her books since I picked up ‘The Bride’s Bodyguard’ and Thornton delivers the story brilliantly in this one.
2. Much Ado About You by Eloisa James
Eloisa […]
