originally published October 23, 2020 So, romances & connected series? Romance as a genre has always had, well, a funny relationship with connected series. The major reason is because by definition (most of the time anyway) there is a different couple in each book. So, what usually happens in a romance series is that the reader is dumped into a “community” that provides fertile ground for the author to find fresh couples to work on in each new book. Community can be defined as whatever works for the author, though.  When I was actively reading non-paranormal contemporaries I loved series set in small towns. SoRead More →

I’ve been in a really big reading mood this week. I’ve already reread several of Shelly Laurenston’s Pride books. It’s my absolute favorite comfort food romance series right now. And I read it over and over again. Sometimes multiple times a year. Here’s the thing, though. I was looking something up about one of the books and realized I hadn’t actually installed a library app on my new phone yet. I’ve been using an app called Book Catalogue for years. Which has always been a good app. However before putting it on the new phone I noticed it hadn’t been updated in… well, years.  Not aRead More →

Right after Thanksgiving I completely lost control of my schedule for various reasons. So I haven’t had much time to work on the site lately. While I’m working on untangling my routine I thought I’d do a quick update post.  Last week, I managed to start rereading on of my favorite series – Shelly Laurenston’s Pride Stories. The first book in that series starts at Christmas so I usually get in the mood to revisit the entire thing over the holidays. Yeah, I’m kind of a month early but after the week or so I’ve had I needed the pick-me-up. So there. Oh, and sinceRead More →

In A Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston came out today and I bought it on ebook the second I woke up. I only realized yesterday the hero was Shen Li, the panda shifter from Bite Me. I think my brain just exploded. I honestly never thought she’d give Shen his own book. Also, this definitely means I get more Vic for sure & possibly Livy from my top favorite in the Pride series, Bite Me. Double yah! Now back to reading. Read More →

For the last week or so I’ve been rereading one of my all-time favorite romance series – Shelly Laurenston’s Pride shifter series. I’m currently on the last and my favorite Bite Me with Vic and Livy. Yum.  One of the reasons I like her writing and that series in particular is that it makes me laugh. Which for me is comfort food. And after the month I’ve had with one illness after another that’s the antidote I needed. Other readers may want to cry. I want to laugh my head off. Now I will admit that her characters and her humor aren’t going to be for everyone.Read More →
