And by “readers” I’m talking about people who read for pleasure. I’m asking because when I was in the hospital earlier this year there was this young nurses aide who came in while I had one of the Harry Potter movies on the TV. She said she’d never read the Harry Potter books or actually sat through any of the movies. Had only caught bits and pieces here and there. Kind of surprised me. I mean, she was young but not that young. I guess it could happen, though. On talking to her further, I realized she wasn’t that big on science fiction or fantasyRead More →

short life update First and foremost, recently I’ve been having a lot of medical test related to some pain in my right side. Nothing is conclusive yet. I suspect, though, I will probably end up having gallbladder surgery within the next month or so. Therefore I’m attempting to backlog some posts. Just in case. There may only be one or two posts a week occasionally in the near future if I’m not successful. I try to do three posts each week but, you know, sometimes life happens.  All things considered it’s a really good thing I decided to rerun the Ten Nights of Love seriesRead More →

One of the reasons it’s going to be so freewheeling is that I’ve been experimenting with dictating my thoughts into notes on my phone (and/or typing/editing them up if I’m at a computer) whenever the mood strikes. The idea is to then just copy and paste into aRead More →

Have you ever reread a book that you enjoyed and wondering why you don’t remember half of it? I’m rereading Hot and Badgered before diving into In A Badger Way and seriously wondering if I was asleep when I read it the first time because there are huge chunks of it that I honestly don’t remember. And yet I remember the broad outline of what happens.  So I know I read it…. didn’t I?Read More →

Am I the only romance reader who doesn’t believe that romance should be “for women by women” solely? Every time I run across that “mantra” lately, it’s starting to stick in my craw. If I had a craw, that is. (G) And that specific phrase doesn’t even have to be “said” for me to start twitching. Take the ever-present discussion of chick lit that’s always popping up somewhere or another nowadays. That one always starts me dwelling on how chick lit is so strongly focused on “her story”. That’s all well and good and actually nothing all that new to romances – not that chickRead More →
