Reader Favorites – Leslie’s Favorite Audiobooks

By 13 Comments

YAY!!! Our resident Twilight lover is also an audiobook lover. BIG TIME!!!

Leslie: “Audiobooks rule!!! I have no idea how I lived without them.

…At first, I couldn’t get into them. They couldn’t hold my interest, I’d fall asleep, tune them out etc. I kept trying them (lucky for me my library has good selection) and I FINALLY got used to it.

Now I am obsessed with them! I use them like other people do music. While driving, cleaning, cooking, etc. You wouldn’t believe how much extra reading time you can squeeze into a day when you do audiobooks!! Best invention ever!!” read more

Samantha is in the mood to FEEL… and she’s looking for suggestions! I have plenty for her (of course!! I like the hurty-ones), but maybe you guys have some great recommendations for her too?

Reader Confession – MichelleS confesses her “Book Catnip”…

By 30 Comments

It’s reader confession time!!! This is Maryse’s guilty-pleasure face… 😉 Er… is it weird that I’m talking about myself in the third person?

First off… LOL!!! I love the book-terms we come up with here. bev bought us “Catnip“, meaning that certain THING about a story, or blurb that will have us crazy in one-clicking delight, eager to roll in, er, I mean devour our newfound guilty-pleasure. Probably roll in it, too. LOL! 😛

MichelleS’s reaction/confession (and the discussion it sparked) made me laugh so hard!

So here it is:

bev: I was wondering what is your catnip, the keywords that make you want to buy. I think I’m learning a bit of some of yours. Fairies for MichelleS. Tessa likes the heroes that are d!cks, Amy the heroines that are. ;-)  But really what checks the box for you? read more

Reader Favorites – Antonella’s 2016 Top Ten

By 9 Comments

It’s Antonella’s turn and she’s been with us for a while!!! Since 2013 in fact. I’m thrilled that she’s a part of our crew, and now, she has sent over her favorites.

But first! Let’s get to know her, a little, shall we?

First: She’s from Sydney, Australia.

Antonella likes a dirty-mouthed hero. 😉 “I can’t get Matt out of my head and find myself going back re-reading bits. Maybe it is his dirty mouth LOL!”

She does “accents” while reading. “Did anyone else put on an Irish accent when reading Declan’s lines? Maybe it’s just me.” read more

Reader Question – Where’s Maryse’s Top 2016 list?

By Leave a Comment

Yep! I’ve received quite a few of this very question over the last week or so. It seems in the midst of all the Holiday fun, my “Best of” list got lost in the shuffle, so I’m happy to feature this reader question today, in case anyone else missed it, also:

Tracey: I don’t remember if you listed your personal 2016 favorites list and I can’t find it here. If you did, would you please either repost it or let me know where to find it. If you didn’t,  then we are anxiously waiting for it. 🙂 read more
