Late-Breaking Reviews

Tuesday, November 6th, 2007

It is never too late to buy a copy (or 40) of YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY (note the handy link where you can click to buy it). I don’t pimp it every single day (tho I am tempted), but folks still are picking it up and reading it. I love those people. [...]

Checking Out Entertainment Weekly

Monday, November 5th, 2007

Here’s one of those things that could only happen to me: I got shut out of my website over the weekend. Could not sign on and draft a new entry. Couldn’t even look at the site. Yeah, I am waiting for a swarm of locusts to attack my house.
While I was [...]

Darlene Ryan and her hubby Mr. Wonderful helped out about a month ago by reading a few Avon Red titles and giving us some feedback. So, when I got a book called Walla Walla Suite (a Room With No View) by Anne Argula, I emailed Darlene and begged her to do another joint review with [...]

Review: Forget About It

Monday, September 10th, 2007

When the book Forget About It by Caprice Crane arrived in my mailbox, I got excited. The cover is this cool green cover. Loved the bandaid. Liked the idea of a contemporary romantic comedy. Problem was this book deadline of September 15th. Makes it kind of tough to do much other [...]

A few weeks ago, I issued a challenge. With four Avon Red mass market books in my hand, I asked for two volunteers to read two each and gives us some feedback. Several of you volunteered, winners were randomly selected and now we have some comments. In fact, we have a fabulous [...]

I Know Her!
