Unless you’re strictly a Young Adult reader, and even then there are still ‘mature’ books in this genre, you’ve probably encountered a decent amount of sex scenes in your fictional wanderings, but how many of ’em actually mentioned contraception in some way, shape or form? It doesn’t cross my mind a lot; however there are […]
My first read of the year was FORSAKEN BY THE OTHERS by Jess Haines which unfortunately turned out to be only a 3-star book; not exactly the best start to 2015. Ah well, all of the previous installments have been really good, so it was bound to happen, and now I’m only one novel away […]
Happy New Year!!! I’m going to focus on authors that have books releasing in 2015, and more specifically series / stand-alone debuts because you’re more likely to add them to your TBR. Don’t feel like you have to do the same though, however please keep in mind that I hate playing catch-up just as much […]
I’m sick, my in-laws are visiting this weekend, and I have to spend yet another Saturday writing exams for a job that I am applying for (at least this time it’s only 3 hours instead of 7!), so I’m keeping it simple today. My first pick is a no-brainer because it’s by my favourite author, […]
As we are now all doing our challenge wrap-up posts and looking to which challenges we are going to participate in next year, I was wondering, how do you track your challenges? Do you create a shelf on Goodreads, Booklikes, Shelfari and the like? Do you create a page with all the listings? For challenges […]
*Please note that although Julie is no longer blogging, I have permission to recycle some of her old questions. You can see her previous answers by clicking on the post graphic. This happens to me on a fairly regular basis; it’s not usually a MASSIVE change, like say from 2-stars to 5, but I tend […]
I would die! No, but seriously, I. Would. DIE. Ok, ok, maybe that’s a bit extreme, and it does occasionally happen that I go a full week without reading, however that’s by choice more or less, real life interferes notwithstanding. I can’t imagine a scenario where I would be forbidden to partake in my favourite […]
I have read AND enjoyed the FIFTY SHADES trilogy just to see what all of the buzz was about. Normally Erotica titles never make their way onto my TBR, but in this case I made an exception, and then I went ahead and listened to Sylvia Day’s CROSSFIRE series because I was told that it […]
Love triangles are my #1 least favourite trope; maybe I’d feel differently if they weren’t a dime a dozen, but it seems like every second romance book I pick-up features one, and the odds increase significantly if it’s a Young Adult title. My list of cons is pretty extensive, but I’ll try to stick to […]
It’s hard to believe that there are only two months left before we ring in a brand new year, however that fact made this week’s question a piece of cake because my options were fairly limited which is a good thing because we all know how us book bloggers can go on-and-on about upcoming titles […]
