I just love old paperback covers because they can be so wacky!

Even when they are attempting to be dead serious. I ran across a vintage cover of an Agatha Christie book I just had to share because, besides being an old one ($.25?) I hadn’t seen, she’s being strangled by… the Hulk??? Which stopped me dead in my tracks. I mean her skin tone is pretty normal even if she does have a slightly green tint so this isn’t an aging thing going on. The hands strangling her are very green though.Read More →

Early in the week I was able to get some behind the scenes stuff done but yesterday my son had a routine medical procedure scheduled and as a result I’ve been very distracted and busy the last couple of days. So I thought I’d keep it simple and dug around on Pinterest for some reading related humor. EnjoyRead More →

I was under the weather earlier this week and between that and life I really haven’t had a chance to write much. I have a couple of longer posts in the works but they’re just not ready. However, today I got distracted by a brand new ebook, The Blacksmith Queen by G.A. Aiken AKA Shelly Laurenston. It’s the just released first book in a new series, I think related to her Dragon Kin series cause she mentions a far away crazy Queen. Heh, wonder who that could be. Anyway, I’m still reading and loving it so much, much more later. Read More →

I recently ran across a new to me website that I’ve fallen in love with – The Silver Petticoat Review: Romance in Entertainment. What I love about it is that it feeds my “and I want some romance in what I watch” craving with regards to video fare. To be perfectly honest I usually don’t seek out stuff on TV and in the movies for romance. If it’s called a romance, half the time I’ll be leery of it in the first place. But I like to know what’s out there at the same time.Read More →

There have been several extremely good blogs posted in the last few days related to the lack of respect romance gets and what we should or shouldn’t do about it. This is another of those topics I’ve learned to stay away from, not because I don’t believe romance novels get a bum rap overall. I do. It’s just that after reading an almost infinite number of these discussions over the years I tend to shake my head more over how we all tend to get outraged for the wrong reasons at times than feel compelled to comment. So what I normally do instead of postingRead More →
