The Washington Post Cookbook by Bonnie Benwick
I'm not sure one really reads a cookbook. The visual pleasure they offer is almost more linked to touch and taste than the simple sight one usually employs in reading.

I collect cookbooks and food magazines, even when I know I'm not really going to u...more

Stolen Fury by Elisabeth Naughton
Contemporary romance shouldn't be different from a fantasy. Even if the world is real, things like world and plot should be well "done".

Crimson City by Liz Maverick

The Red Plague Affair (Bannon & Clare #2)
by Lilith Saintcrow (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
Bannon & Clare are one of the most disjointed couples I have read, and still they do click together perfectly. But then logic and feeling must go together or we create sociopaths rather than well-balanced human beings.
So, even under their respec...more

Sleeping With The Entity by Cat Devon
Sometimes you just need a light funny read. Sometimes you don't. I have to be in one of my moments of doom... Because I clearly could not stand peppy, overbright and silly. Which is the way this book was headed. (Ok, strike that. This is what the fir...more

Willing Victim by Cara McKenna
Willing Victim
by Cara McKenna (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
Not a bad novella. It needed more meat on its bare bones. As Anna before me I kept clicking to get more. :-)
