Read this romantic suspense thriller on the flight back from Tokyo in one sitting, with time left to start on another. Cold As Ice was a page-turner for me because of the badass hero (with a heart of gold) that Anne Stuart has created in Peter Jensen.
I’ve read Black Ice and liked it, and had […]

Even before I met the Essex sisters, I’ve been patiently waiting for Eloisa James to give poor Mayne a break and send someone to love him. He’s never been the same since Helena rejected him in Your Wicked Ways.
So when the Essex sisters were introduced, I had this feeling that one of the Essex sisters […]

You would hardly, if ever, find vampire tales on my shelf, yet I must confess that never since Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet has the story of a pair of star-crossed lovers elicit such sweet heartache and deep empathy from me as Teresa Medeiros’ Portia and Julian.

What drew my attention to this book was Sybil’s comment on its rather tastefully done cover. I was interested in The Grail King by Joy Nash, which marks the debut of the author’s Druids of Avalon series, because of its loose connection to King Arthur and my love of Avalon, medieval magic and fantasy. I […]

Well, my Tokyo mission was successfully completed, thanks to my co-operative colleagues. Their warm hospitality and friendliness will always remain even as I bid a fond farewell to this amazing city.
If my initial impression of the city’s orderly and ultra modern sky scrapers conjures an image of a sterile, clinical concrete jungle in your mind, […]

Surprise?!! I’ve arrived in Tokyo just a couple of hours ago, and decided to drop a quick post about the city, courtesy of the hotel’s free web access.
My impression of the city has always been that of a modern orderly metropolis, and Tokyo really matched the image of modern efficiency and orderliness that the capital is famous […]

Having grown up on a fodder of Greek myths and Arthurian sagas, I was naturally drawn to Sarah Zettel’s treatment of the legendary tales of England’s most famous knights. Sir Gawain and Sir Galahad were amongst my favourites, and In Camelot’s Shadow, being a retelling of two popular tales about Gawain, was a hit with […]

Now, I don’t usually like to plug Microsoft products. God knows they’ve dominated the market long enough and earned enough of consumer dollars without needing an endorsement from little old me. Besides, I have always been a fan of Apple and its sleek designs.
But I’ve got to admit that the new Windows Vista is making […]
