REVIEW: The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams

[image error]Dear Lyssa Kay Adams,

I was hooked by the premise of this book as soon as I saw the blurb. A group of guys who form a club and read romance novels (which they call “manuals” LOL) in order to fix/improve their relationships? Sign me up.

Gavin Scott is a Major League Baseball player for the fictional Nashville Legends. He fell in love with Thea at first sight. They started dating after he eventually worked up the courage to ask her out and three months later, thanks to a broken condom, Thea was pregnant...

News Bits: Books and more books

[image error]A human chain to move books – How do you get a lot of children’s books from here to there? By hand, of course. Well, they could have been transferred by the boring method of boxes and trucks but thousands of citizens of Norman, Oklahoma turned out on a Sunday to pass them, hand by hand, from their old home to their new one.

The human chain stretched all the way across Andrews Park, snaking between picnic tables and pavilions, past a kickball game, over two roads and across a parking lot.

The chain en...

But Christiana has an admirer. Stan Kamarzyn has watched her sing for a year and he doesn’t want to see her get hurt.

But then, at the haunted house where he dresses up as a werewolf, she shows up.

REVIEW: Tallowwood by N.R.Walker

[image error]

Cold cases, murder, lies, and an unimaginable truth.

Sydney detective August Shaw has spent the last decade of work solving cold cases. Since the death of his boyfriend eight years ago, August works alone, lives alone, is alone — and that’s exactly how he likes it. His work is his entire life, and he’s convinced a string of unsolved cold-case suicides are linked to what could be Australia’s worst ever serial killer. Problem is, no one believes him.

Senior Constable Jacob Porter loves his life in the s...

Does an authentic Andy Warhol painting need to be painted by Andy Warhol? Should we be outraged that some of those famous scenes in Blue Planet were filmed in a lab? Who are the scientists putting ever-more improbable flavors in our Jelly Belly beans? Welcome to the world of “genuine fakes”–the curious objects that fall in between things that are real and things that are not. Unsurprisingly, the world is full of genuine fakes...
