Right now, most of my books are in boxes (so many boxes!), but I managed to sneak a few out to keep me company this week while I’ve been packing. — Jen Lancaster, Jeneration X: One Reluctant Adult’s Attempt to Unarrest Her Arrested Development; Or, Why It’s Never Too Late for Her Dumb Ass to…

It’s a short list for me this week (I’ve been busy wrestling with Miss Gwen, who isn’t going gently into her book). Here’s what I’ve been reading: — Gay Daly, Pre-Raphaelites in Love. This began as research, but turned into reading as pleasure. (Right now, the plan is for the next non-Pink book to take…

This week, I’m very grateful for the kindness of friends (okay, my Tennessee Williams drawl just did not come out right on that one). Actually, the kindness of one friend, who sent me this care package: I haven’t watched the movie yet, but, as you can imagine, neither of those books went un-read. Here’s what…

It’s been a very YA-heavy week for me. Here’s what I’ve been reading: — Meg Cabot, Abandon Book 2: Underworld. This was one of the freebies from the Romantic Times Convention. The plus side of freebies? I get to read books I might not otherwise have stumbled upon. The downside? Sometimes I come into series…

One good thing about many hours on airplanes: it provides much time to read. Here were my companions on this week’s flights: — Meredith Duran, At Your Pleasure. Ah, the Hanoverian succession. Always such good fodder for fiction. — John Harwood, The Ghost Writer. I don’t know whether to thank or blame Pam for recommending…

It’s been a week of re-reads for me. There may have been (okay, there was) a Barnes & Noble run this week (I admit to a weakness for both their books and their cafe), but I’m hoarding the new books for all the flights I’m going to be on over the next week. Here’s the…

I spent a lot of time on various forms of transportation this week, which afforded lots of time to read. These are the books I brought along with me: — Sarah MacLean, A Rogue by Any Other Name. This is the first in Sarah’s Rule of Scoundrels series (fallen noblemen running a gaming club), and…

This week’s reading round up is a tale of the bad and the good. The bad? One of the Elsie Lees from the roommate care package, Star of Danger. I’ve noticed in the past that when Elsie Lee is good, she’s very very good. Then there are the other books. My college roommate and I…

My sainted college roommate rescued me from the book doldrums with exactly what I needed after a hard week of revisions: a box of vintage Elsie Lee novels. For those who haven’t stumbled on Elsie Lee, they’re old fashioned romantic suspense novels from the 1960’s and 70’s and ridiculously hard to find. When they’re good…
