BBH: Book Tours

May 12, 2022 Lori2 Comments

Billy himself @ Coffee Addicted Writer has this week’s question— Have you ever participated in a book tour? I have not. Honestly, I would not even be sure where to start! I have been reading and reviewing *some* arcs, but that is kind of the farthest I have ventured into the business of marketing and… Continue reading BBH: Book Tours

TTT: Bookish Professions

May 11, 2022 Lori4 Comments

This week’s Top Ten is Bookish Characters (these could be readers, writers, authors, librarians, professors, etc.) I recognize that my inclusion of Caroline Merit is a little off the mark, since she is a vampire, and Sentinel of her Vampire House. But, she was a grad student when she was turned, and to this day,… Continue reading TTT: Bookish Professions

LTB: Buying vs Borrowing

May 9, 2022 Lori11 Comments

This week’s question comes from Jillian @ Jillian the Bookish Butterfly who asks— How do you decide what books to borrow or buy? Prompts: Do you buy a lot of books? Do you borrow books from a library, or from friends? What do you look out for in books you buy? Are there any book… Continue reading LTB: Buying vs Borrowing

Hello, my lovelies. Back to Sundays. I woke up early this morning, and I have a TON to do, so I decided to not procrastinate and just write this one right now. Also, I started this blog to fangirl over books, and boy do I have some books to fangirl over this week. But we… Continue reading Sunday Post: May 8, 2022

Week Forty-Three: Riley Thorne and the Blast From the Past

May 7, 2022May 8, 2022 Lori3 Comments

Y’all, I feel like I talk about Lucy Score more than I talk about ANYTHING, including my dog and my mama. But there is a reason for that, and that is that she can *write*. Her books are steamy, well-plotted, funny, real. Her characters are sympathetic, and the HEAs feel earned. Every book of hers… Continue reading Week Forty-Three: Riley Thorne and the Blast From the Past

TTT: One-Word Reviews

May 3, 2022 Lori7 Comments

This week’s topic comes to us from Susan @ Bloggin’ ’bout Books: May 3: One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read OK, before I start, one disclaimer. I have been reading a ton of Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine in the last month, and their stock-in-trade is these thousand-page stories that they break… Continue reading TTT: One-Word Reviews

Hello, my lovelies. Sunday Posts continue to be tardy…but at least this week I have a reasonable excuse—I was out of town at a memorial service. I’d love to use this space to tell you a story about some remarkable people, if you will indulge me. Back at the VERY beginning of this milennium, I… Continue reading Sunday Post: May 2, 2022

Week Forty-Two: The Wedding Season

April 30, 2022May 1, 2022 Lori3 Comments

NetGalley kindly gifted me three RomComs, all releasing this week, and I wanted to get them all reviewed before the release, but not TOO early…so I had one scheduled each week for the last three weeks of April. This one was supposed to be first, but I started it and it didn’t grab me, so… Continue reading Week Forty-Two: The Wedding Season

Hello, my lovelies. So, Sunday-Mondays (or Monday-Sundays) seem to be all the rage these days. I’d apologize, but I was spending the day with Robbie and Julien and Priest…so, I’d be fibbing if I said that I was sorry. I usually try to find something to remember in this space, so I can keep track… Continue reading Sunday Post: April 25, 2022

Week Forty-One: Never Been Kissed

April 23, 2022May 13, 2022 Lori2 Comments

I’ve been in a queer romance place for the past few weeks. I’ve mentioned before that I am a mood reader, and when I read something awesome—the breathtaking Borrowing Blue by Lucy Lennox was the culprit this time—well, that launches me down an endorphin-seeking rabbit hold that is hard to climb out of. Not that… Continue reading Week Forty-One: Never Been Kissed

Welcome!

Hi. I’m Lori and this is…well, it’s a blog, and I am just a girl who loves books. Reading them, reading about them, shopping for them, talking about them, thinking about them. Oh, also ice cream, rice krispy treats, animals, and naps. Lots of naps.
