Old Favorites – I mean really old favorites
May 2nd, 2010 | 4 Comments
I was sorting through some old posts and ran across this list. Hey, I said I was doing some spring cleaning. I think I put this together back when I first created Beverly’s Book Sanctuary, which make it about 1998-99. I could probably be even more precise if I dated the books although some of them were probably published before that. Anyway, I thought I’d toss it out there again just for the memories some of the titles evoke. I mean, wow, have I come a lone way in just a decade, more or less, cause there ain’t an ebook or erotic romance title on the list that I can see. Heck, there’s barely any paranormals… ;-) The Christmas Cat anthology In Our Dreams anthology (York / Henke / Kirk / Cummings / Evans / McFadden / Miller / Potter … Read entire article »

There be dragons here
November 12th, 2009 | Comments Off
Recently while looking for something to read that had dragons in it, I was digging through my ebook shelves and realized that I’d collected quite a few favorite dragon shifter stories. How that came to be, I’m not quite sure since dogs and cats are what usually pass for the norm in shifters. Anyway, I thought I’d share my list of top author & series that I tend to reread the most. And, yeah, quite a few of them are labeled erotic romances, but not all. D’Arc, Bianca – Dragon Knights Maiden Flight (erotic romance) Border Lair (erotic romance) Ice Dragon (romance) Prince of Spies (erotic romance) Wings of Change (erotic romance) Fire Drake (erotic romance) Dragon Storm (erotic romance) due out Nov 17, 2009 Aiken, G. A. – Dragon Kin Dragon Actually (romance/paranormal) About A Dragon (romance/paranormal) Mumford, Debbie Sorchas’ Heart … Read entire article »

The ones I reach for all the time
August 11th, 2009 | 1 Comment
I was thinking the other day that I hadn’t updated my list of top favorite romances in quite a while. At least not since before I started reading more ebooks than print anyways. So, it was probably time to take a look and see what was what. This is the “Top Ten” list I finally settled on, in alpha order for now because I haven’t figured out any particular ranking for them. Yet. D’Arc, Bianca: The Ice Dragon Fletcher, Donna: Tame My Wild Touch Foster, Lori: Too Much Temptation Greene, Tilly: Zandia Krentz, Jayne Ann: Shield’s Lady Laurens, Stephanie: The Perfect Lover Laurenston, Shelly: Here Kitty, Kitty Leigh, Jenna: The Wolf’s Heart Lovelace, Merline: The Captain’s Woman Mima: Wild Within Quick, Amanda: Dangerous Sinclair, Linnea: Games of Command See, the thing is that I started out trying to go for the top … Read entire article »

New top favorites list
October 6th, 2006 | Comments Off
I’m eventually going to put this list on a page, but since I haven’t decided how I’m going to list them there yet, here’s the current rough draft of the listing in alpha by author order. Basically, the main criteria I used to look for those books that I tend to reread a lot and I may still need to do some weeding and adding. AUTHOR TITLE A-Anthology Knights of Christmas (Harlequin Historicals, No 387) A-Anthology Lovescape A-Anthology Scottish Brides A-Anthology The Truth About Cats & Dogs Alexander, Victoria Wedding Bargain Archer, Ellen Tiger Lil Avery, Anne Hidden Heart Barnett, Jill Dreaming Barnett, Jill Wonderful Bertin, Joanne Last Dragonlord Beverley, Jo Lord of Midnight Bond, Stephanie Got Your Number Byron, Eve My Lord Stranger Carroll, Susan Wooing of Miss Masters : The Bishop’s Daughters Chase, Loretta Mr. Impossible (Berkley Sensation) Christie, Agatha ABC Murders Christie, Agatha Cards on the Table Christie, Agatha Murder in Retrospect Christie, Agatha Murder Is Announced Christie, Agatha Murder of Roger Ackroyd Christie, Agatha Murder on the Orient Express Christie, Agatha Partners in Crime Christie, … Read entire article »

Krentz, Krentz & more Krentz
June 17th, 2006 | 1 Comment
Actually, that should probably be Castle, Castle, Quick, Quick, because first I was on a Jayne Castle binge and now it’s shifted over to Amanda Quick. And I ain’t done yet. I may even work my way over to some actual Jayne Ann Krentz titles before this is done. Okay, let’s see what I’ve read so far. It all started with Ghost Hunter (Jayne Castle). I really liked it, so much so that I can’t think of a thing to say about it. No, really, and it’s maddening. Honestly, the thing that stands out to me about this new futuristic romance is that when I tried to put my thoughts down into words I kept finding myself describing it by saying “typical Krentz” this or that, which isn’t a bad thing … Read entire article »

Baskets & Boxes (my Tumblr blog)

Ten.
Okay, I can’t help it. I see this and I giggle. As much as actually like Smith as the Eleventh Doctor, there was just something about Tennant’s attitude that made you think he was laughing half the time. Even when he probably shouldn’t have been

Then I finally got it. Now I’m like, what the… as in, it’s an interesting picture but they seem overly muscled or something. Maybe it’s just me.

[Superman vol 2 #62]
Remember when Clark lost his memory and Lois tried to bring it back by kissing him…
Meanwhile Emil’s attempts to cockblock her were futile.
I love this scene, but the dormant Lois & Clark fan fiction writer in me immediately has to wonder what the heck Emil and that critter in the gold and blue suit are doing on what looks to be a deserted island with them. Kind of kills the mood. Heh, maybe it isn’t as dormant as I thought. ;-)

Also:

You know, at first I didn’t even like him all that much but there is just something so totally lovable about Wilfred (Donna Noble’s grandfather on The Doctor) that you just can’t help finding him adorable. Even the Doctor fell under the spell. Sigh.

Best. Transformer. EVER.
OMG! I want one. Like yesterday. :-)
