originally posted on February 11, 2010 there’s a definition of romance novels? I first arrived on the Internet in the mid-1990s. And, of course, I eventually discovered various forums and websites related to romance novels. One of the things that fascinated me was the Romance Writers of America official definition of romance. It’s perfectly logical one would exist from a marketing standpoint. That’s business. I can respect that need. What amazed me was how stripped down that definition was. At least from how I viewed the romances I read. That I’ve always read whether I realized it or not at that point. What I’ve alwaysRead More →

Vampires Guess Who made me chuckle. Seems like most people are ROTFL at Blade appearing ready to attack the “sparkly one”. Could it be that most think Sparkles is not a true vampire and needs to be smacked around a bit?  The poster does seems to be missing several good ones though. Where the heck is Angel? P.S. Do Lolcat image embeds work on Tumblr? Because I seem to be missing something in getting them to work properly.Read More →

Zeek had me literally LOL with a ‘Nuff Said post the other day. Go see it. It’s worth it. Trust me. 😀 Which reminded me that I had several sort of related quote clippings that I needed to clean out of the old files and this would be a good time to do it. I ran across this item several weeks ago and just couldn’t stop staring. Seriously. The odd thing is, I think I have a link to something on the actual book somewhere around here. I’ll have to dig around and get back to you: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Movie Moving Forward The answerRead More →

I just bought a vampire romance from Samhain. Yeah, I know. I’m supposed to hate them. Thing is, I simply love the promo on this book, I weakened: Explosions, car wrecks, assassins, escaped murderers, and a kidnapping…arranged marriages can really take their toll on a vampire. First installment in The Guardians’ League series (stand-alone novels with shared characters that may be read in any order but work best in the correct order). Witness to a brutal murder, Sian Lazuro didn’t count on the killer escaping moments after his conviction. Three years later, she’s learned the hard way there’s only one person she can trust—herself. WhenRead More →

Dithering on the Susan Sizemore book (see yesterday’s blog entry) made me realize that I think I may be vampired-out, which is weird, because I don’t even read vampire romances, not counting Feehan’s Carpathians and Sands’ pseudo-vamps, that is. And I haven’t read that many werewolf books either. Uh, actually come to think of it, the only one I can even remember at the moment was Night Play by Sherrilyn Kenyon. I think that’s the right one. (Vane’s book?) And I started to say alien for the last but decided I really hadn’t read enough of those to count anyway so I changed it toRead More →
