Ten Nights of Love: The Introduction
Last fall, Heather over at The Galaxy Express asked me what the dividing line between romance and erotic romance was. I almost laughed in her face - figuratively speaking. I mean, come on. One, much more eloquent people than me have tried to explain it, did great jobs and, yet, still gotten lost in their own words and, two, sometimes, I’m not sure there is an answer. Then I stopped backing away and realized that what she was asking was the age old, ever popular question that comes up repeatedly on romance forum discussions of “how much sex is too much?” before it becomes not romance and off I went emailing her a bunch of thoughts and links which later evolved into this long article that I divided in a series … Read entire article »

Not just for women
For months now I’ve been thinking of starting a post category on the blog called “Romance Is…” dedicated specifically to defining romances as I know and love to read them, not in any specific dictionary definition way but more in a “what they are and aren’t” to me personally as a longtime reader and by association to other readers as I find things to comment on around the web. Well, the first instance of this has occurred. Heather over on The Galaxy Express asked me a question in one of the comments on Will Sweet Science Fiction Romance Survive? and when I went to answer my response ended up becoming this post. So away we go: @BevBB If you’re still checking back, do you think the “by women for women” mantra … Read entire article »

Three books and a giggle
I’m trying to be more diligent about giving heads up for any good discussions I run across and/or join into on the web. Most of the time, I figure new book finds can wait until Friday but what’s the point of waiting to tell you about the posts I’m already commenting on? That makes no sense. And sometimes those are about books. It’s a confusing conundrum so the confusion stops here. (At least for me. You could very well still be scratching you head. ) Anyway, just to catch you up, here’s what I’ve been up to lately. Book 1: Heather over @ The Galaxy Express posted the Cover for Katie MacAlister’s STEAMED and, oh, my word, it’s a doozy. The book sounds interesting too. A steampunk romance. I can’t … Read entire article »

Mid-Summer Reading
Currently reading It doesn’t happen often but occasionally I get in the mood to read a biography or an autobiography. Normally, they’re just not on my non-fiction to look for. I tend more towards arts and crafts with a smattering of self-help type books. Recently, though, I’ve become interested in the story and life of Teddy Roosevelt. It’s not simply the political climate in the country but oddly enough I’ve run across several romances over the years that have him in them. Yeah, they do exist. And he’s almost always portrayed as a “character” to say the least. An interesting one but definitely a larger than life personality, almost more so than many of our other Presidents. So, anyway, I got curious and thought I’d start looking for a book on his … 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. :-)

Sci-fi fans can be scary sometimes – even the, ahem, girls ;-)

I know this because I am one. My son knows this because he is a male who has dealt with two female fans, me and his sister. In fact, we got into a discussion about obsessive sci-fi fandoms just the other day after he ran across a Doctor Who forum that I think actually scared him a little at the degree of, um, obsessiveness. Doctor Who has been around for a lot of years and undergone a lot of, er, regenerations. Deadly combination for obssessive fans. Anyone care to speculate on who is worse Star Trek or Doctor Who fans? Not me. All of which musing really made me chuckle when I ran across the following @ The Galaxy Express: The following post is based on true excerpts from an email exchange … Read entire article »
