What if took an act of divine intervention to ensure you’d live long enough to find your soul mate? What if it took multiple acts of divine intervention to make you embrace who you are, to find the courage to accept yourself, to finally see yourself as beautiful because someone else sees your grace and...

Maybe With a Chance of Certainty, End of the Beginning & Raise Your Glass (Tales from Foster High Series) by John Goode
In their most broad and most literal terms, John Hughes’ films defined the angst of my--and maybe every other ‘80s teenager’s--high school years. Pretty in Pink (if you thought Andie should’ve picked Duckie Dale, raise your hand!), Sixteen Candles (::sigh:: Jake Ryan), and The Breakfast Club (yes, I would’ve chosen John Bender), each are the...

Beyond the Spanish Road by Annie Kaye
Over the course of centuries, numerous wars have been waged in the name of religion. In the late sixteenth century, England and Spain, the reigning world superpowers, were locked in a battle over their God. Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne brought on the beginning of Protestant rule in Great Britain, and it was the... Continue Reading →

The Marrying Kind by Ken O'Neill
There are universally accepted themes in drama that are guaranteed to, if not draw tears, at a minimum will tug a bit at the heartstrings of every well-adjusted human being. Charming a reader into loving a character and then killing that character at the end of a book—sad. Tragic romance, star-crossed lovers destined never to... Continue Reading →

Small Gems – The Water-Irises by Hayden Thorne
Hugh LaCaille is a man of letters. He is a man who doesn’t believe in or have patience for anything that can’t be proven through logic or science. He’s so deeply immersed in his intellectual pursuits, in fact, as to be considered reclusive by others. Hugh is the consummate teacher who, in Hayden Thorne’s The... Continue Reading →

The Epic Love Story of Doug and Stephen by Valerie Z. Lewis
Epic is probably overstating things a bit. For that matter, love story is overstating things by a large margin, but that's irony for you, and The Epic Love Story of Doug and Stephen is full of it. Doug Bruce is...special, which is a really PC way of saying he's a bit wrong-headed, but once you... Continue Reading →

Koan (Wolf's-own #3) by Carole Cummings
I think I’ll just take a Xanax and a bottle of gin and go curl up in a corner now because, let me tell you, if I didn’t have some sort of anxiety disorder before reading Koan, I think I do now. I was going to make that my review. Just that. But please, I... Continue Reading →

Infected: Shift (Infected #5) by Andrea Speed
No. No, no, no. A book cannot just end like that. Okay, apparently it can, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Okay, apparently that’s not true either, because I loved it, which I suppose means that I more than liked it. ::sigh:: I think I get too involved with the characters in... Continue Reading →

Hop Against Homophobia – Meet Derek and Ty
I wasn't planning to do another Hop post. I'll be perfectly honest with you: although I have a blog, I'm not what you'd actually call a blogger. I love to talk about the books I read, but otherwise, I'm really pretty boring. :) Yet here I am, blogging again, and all because I was inspired... Continue Reading →

Armed & Dangerous (Cut & Run #5) by Abigail Roux
Aw, the short bus to Happytown has finally arrived and it looks like maybe, just maybe, Ty Grady and Zane Garrett remembered to get on and have bought a one-way ticket there. It seems Agents Grady and Garrett have figured out that if their relationship is going to survive, they’ve got to remember to be... Continue Reading →
