Weekend Pick Me Up – Hear No by Lizzy Ford

Camera 360 I won’t go into my normal Lizzy for President speech. If you aren’t going to vote for her by now that is too bad. I’ve been hard at work on my poop bomb gift bags for all those who fail me so we will just go forth with the knowledge that to the victors go the spoilers… and all the rest of you get a whole lot of poop in a bag.

I think I read this book in about three and half hours because I have an actual mental setting called, “Lizzy Land” and once I enter that setting nothing else registers. I’m not even sure if I blink or breathe. It might be a tantric or zen thing, all I know is once I reach Lizzyspace the real world drops away and for the length of the book I am inside the story. This one was an awesome one to witness, don’t be hatin’ but I saw a couple former angels and a kinda sexy lethal satanist. Eat your heart out. I know you’re jelly!

Tongue Wagger – No One’s Angel by Kelly Walker

Camera 360I will preface this review with the statement that maybe if you are a gamer No One’s Angel will be a more be a higher star book for you. As a gamer in reformation this book touched a lot of my feelies and I spent a lot of time going, “Oh, I totally get this! Been there, done that.” And also shaking my head and cringing because in the back of my head I could hear a very old internet catcheism about females–they are either fat, ugly or psycho. Not my words, but a general comment thrown around about girls who spent a great deal of time playing online games. I fell on the farside of psycho just for your information–Let’s promote stereotyping and assumptions. =P Of  course I was reading this thinking Angel was in my category too.

Character Q&A – Chance Meeting With The Ever-Romantic Freytag Meier

Holding onI was recently in Vienna for a short few days when I ran into Frey while around some shops. I was surprised as could be because although he has always been a damn fine looking man, married life must really be doing something really good for him because he looked even more yummy than he did before Liese said, ‘I do’. I only had a few minutes to talk to him but I did get to check into everyone else from the Truly Madly Series. You check in too…

Character Q&A – Coffee With Taryn Coleman

Suzanne Wright was really sweet and she gave me the contact info for Taryn Coleman from Feral Sins fame and after some phone tag we connected and she invited me to come and see what wolf pack territory is really like. Let me tell you… when your momma tells you that there are wild men out there she hasn’t even begun to dream up the males I met while visiting her neck of the woods. I can’t tell you just where I was because I gave my word over a few martinis and promises made over cocktails can never be broken but I will give you a little snapshot of my final coffee convo. It’s not like we kissed so I can totally tell!

Makin’ the Love Monday – The Sum of All Kisses by Julia Quinn

Camera 360 I have loved Julia Quinn since I picked up Everything and the Moon from a grocery store as a break from reading medical/science based true story novels back in the late 90’s. At the time I was super fascinated by parasites and epidemics and I had been reading about plagues through various civilizations when I deviated into Julia Quinn world. The eclectic charm of her characters hooked me and I’ve remained a faithful fan since (although my interest in the decline of man via pestilence ran it’s course).

Character Q&A – Holiday Quickie With Kaidan Rowe

Wendy Higgins Writes I was able to get in touch with Kaidan Rowe’s publicist, Wendy Higgins, to arrange a very short chit chat with him about how he was spending his holidays this year. I managed not to be the rabid fangirl whilst speaking with the completely babelicious Brit but I may have had a few internal swoons, but who wouldn’t? That accent is enough to make my knees weak and other parts of me start singing God Save the Queen. Major sighing has occured. I won’t make you wait any longer!

Any Day that Ends in YA – Dust of Eden by Mariko Nagai

Camera 360 I have a very large soft spot for Asian based stories. I was very excited to read this book because although there are a great many books about the Holocaust and American and European accounts of World War II the stories of Japanese in America during the time of internment camps are few. Most people have forgotten that Japanese families were rounded up and spent years in camps with little to nothing as far as possessions in terrible, harsh conditions while many of the males were held and imprisoned on suspicion of sedition. It was a broad generalization of a nationality that punished and penalized thousands of AMERICANS who were innocent in every way but of having a heritage related to that of the Imperial Japanese Navy who had attacked the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. It was an unspeakable racial bias that has been swept under the rug while Americans keep alive the memory of prejudice of blacks, women and religious practices as something we have overcome.

Makin’ the Love Monday – Stay by Kelly Mooney

Camera 360 Makin’ this Lovin’ Twice as Nice… This is sort of like the mini-series of Monday book reviews since I’m doing two today. This is the second. I babbled in the first one so I can dive right into this one.

Stay by Kelly Mooney is a very depressing love story. I think I want to say I read it and it’s a bad book because it made me feel bad–but it is really really not a bad book, it’s a good book about a bad relationship. It’s horribly realistic and in being so it takes the shine and glory off of romance and love and makes you feel really uncomfortable because this isn’t the kind of love you dream about and want, it’s the kind of love story you have.
