As a cherry on the sundae of a wonderful week, I received an advance reader copy of After the Wedding by Courtney Milan, in exchange for an honest review. I can say honestly that I love it. I love Camilla and Adrian. Happily ever after is built into the genre, it is a given. We know before we open the book that Camilla and Adrian will fall in love. The joy of reading Romance is seeing exactly how the author takes us down this familiar path. […]
In Romance, You Can Face Reality and Still Have a Happy Ending
Once Upon a Marquess came out a couple of years ago to high expectations and was received with some disappointment. It was still a Milan, so it was still better than your average Romance, but it lacked the ease of her previous books. I am glad that I opted to reread it in anticipation of the forthcoming After the Wedding. Without the weight of expectation and with the context of some of the issues with which the author has struggled, it was a much better read. […]

I’m Not a Combat Murderbot, I’m Security
All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells
I had a glitch yesterday and lost all my free Tor ebooks off my Kindle. I was in the middle of reading Too Like the Lightning. I frantically went over to the Tor book of the month site to see if I could get it back. I could not, but I could recover this month’s offering, Martha Wells’ All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries. Fortunately, the lovely and amazing teresaelectro was able to help me out with Too Like the Lightning. In the meantime, I had started […]
Naledi does not have time for knock off Nigerian email scams.
I was standing in the book section of my local Walmart having a revelation about how Trump became President when A Princess in Theory jumped out at me like a life line. I grabbed it in hopes that Alyssa Cole will become Walmart’s biggest selling author and they will look into the abyss that is their corporate soul.
