I have a couple of blog related questions and am hoping some knowledgeable individuals out there can help. There will undoubtedly be more in the near future but at present these two are the ones driving me nuts. Why can’t I post comments on blogs that use JavaScript when I can access and use other sites that use it? I noticed this problem when I tried to add a comment to Keishon’s blog. I can’t even access her feedback comments to read them much less add one. When I click on the comments link absolutely nothing happens in Internet Explorer. The same thing happens withRead More →

I’ve been literally buried in family matters and errands this week but did get a chance for a very quick used book store (UBS) raid on Tuesday that I had to share. The short version is that an appointment I had was moved back an hour and a half so I took care of a few errands and still had some time to kill. So I grabbed a hazelnut latte at a little local coffee shop and headed over to the local UBS, thinking that would be a nice “me time” way to spend the rest of the hour. Much to my surprise, though, IRead More →

originally posted April 27, 2005 I have to say that Maili almost ruined my morning when her blog was posted on Romancing the Blog this morning because I hate the topic of reviews and kept telling myself to just ignore it because I was feeling bad to begin with. (I’ve had recurring migraines for the last week and found out yesterday it was because of a sinus infection. Now there’s an “ugh” for you.) I even told myself to just wait because someone else would dissent over there and then I wouldn’t have to. Oh, well, not happening, so I finally decided to be theRead More →

Okay, fess up now. How many times have you read a great book, realized it was probably connected to at least a couple of others and told yourself to remember to check them out . . . and then never get around to it? Even with a book database like Readerware to help me remember these details, it happens. So, I was quite chagrined this morning to realize that I’d pulled not one but two books off the shelf to reread in the last 24 hours that fell into that “honestly good intentions” category. One, I’m currently rereading and will comment more about in aRead More →

Does anyone else’s book-buying go in cycles? Or am I simply a more eclectic romance reader than most. A week or so ago I found three books in my TBR basket at the same time that were in first person. This was unusual enough to make me stop and take notice. Then, today, I realized that the two books I bought this week are both romantic suspense. Again, a rather unusual occurrence. I’m not even completely sure I like romantic suspense on general principle so in retrospect I have to wonder what I was thinking to buy two at once. I do like the twoRead More →

I’ve had this book for about a month now, can’t seem to get it read and I have no idea why really. Yes, her earlier Wildside books did seem to be acquired tastes, i.e. it took a bit of time to get used to the way she approaches storytelling, but I loved them. And I believe I’d love this one once I get into it, too, but so far I’ve had about three false starts on it where I completely zone out after about 10 pages, which only puts me up to about page 50 or so. Very odd. So, I guess it’s going toRead More →

I love this author but falling in love with her writing has been a slow process filled with several hits and misses. I say that to contrast the way I feel about her books with that almost instant connection we readers sometimes feel with the writing styles of authors. You know the type that usually leads to almost no misses. Usually, but not always. Those authors are special to us but I sometimes think the ones who have to really work to get our attention may even be more special in the long run. That instant connection did not happen for me with Lovelace’s novels,Read More →
