Dad One and Dad Two

Pet Dad by Elanna Allen

by Leave a Comment

It is not “ha-ha funny” but “odd funny” how our mood and relationship with a subject bias how we feel about a book. I was reading two Father’s Day books and was thinking, “This is ICK!” (They are Pet Dad by Elanna Allen and Shopping with Dad by Matt Harvey and Miriam Latimer). After finishing, I took a step back and started to rethink my opinion: Okay, I can see why someone could like them. Yet, they are not my kind of like. My mood was off due to a bad headache and the rain (hence the headache). I have […]

Valensteins Gettin’ Some Lovin’

Valensteins by Ethan Long

by Leave a Comment

Even monsters need some lovin’ in Valensteins by Ethan Long.  Part of mostly stand-alone titles, the members of Fright Club do not understand the concept of love. After all who wants to be mushy and all that? However, one member has a different idea about love. This a straight forward story about how sometimes friends do not always do what the others do. But when something is worthwhile, you will do it regardless what others think. The story itself is funny and simple. Of course, the concept is anything but simple. The way the characters are presented you can interpret […]

Superfun Times, Vegan Style

The Superfun Times Vegan Holiday Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

by Leave a Comment

I like cookbooks, and I particularly like those by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. So naturally, I picked up her latest, The Superfun Times Vegan Holiday Cookbook. I am not vegan, but I lean in that direction, and I like cookbooks that A) don’t preach, and B) don’t use a lot of obscure ingredients or equipment. So far, I have read through the whole book, and worked my way through the Thanksgiving and Christmas recipes. The recipes themselves are up to Isa Chandra’s usual standard of yummy, and not overly difficult to make. I would give this book 5 stars, but the […]

Santa Spoiler Ahead, FYI

The Day Santa Stopped Believing In Harold by Maureen Fergus, Illustrated by Cale Atkinson

by Leave a Comment

So this was originally supposed to be a holiday picture book roundup, like I do every year, but then my ten-old-niece and I had to have the “Is Santa real?” discussion in real life, and even looking at the rest of the Santa books is too much for today, so here you go, let’s talk about The Day Santa Stopped Believing In Harold.  What a good, non-cynical twist on the “Is Santa real?” story; what if Santa stopped believing in one particular child, instead of that child not believing in him? This flip on the story, – his familiar arguments, […]

A Holiday Romance Collection

The Season for Love by Shannon Stacey

by Leave a Comment

I’ve got another holiday related collection for you, this time instead of holiday short stories its holiday romance novellas. The Season for Love is a collection of three Shannon Stacey works all tied (loosely) around the holiday season. In another review of Ms. Stacey’s works I’ve commended her ability to ground her characters in the real world, while still letting them play in Romance Novel Land ™. That is still true, and perhaps why when looking for something to download onto my nook before flying home for Christmas I chose this collection to go along with the two novellas by […]

Turnip Gets His Lady

The Mischief of the Mistletoe: A Pink Carnation Christmas (Pink Carnation #7) by Lauren Willig

by Leave a Comment

Things I love in books (all books, but most especially romances): Continuing Sagas – Bring me back to revisit a couple whose journey to happily ever after I’ve already witnessed, or a family whose tree branches I have watched sprout up, and I’m yours. When minor characters become too big for their britches and force their authors to tell their stories. Luckily, The Mischief of the Mistletoe has both of these things. While I love the Pink Carnation series – with its mix of espionage in Jane Austen drawing-room days (a la The Scarlet Pimpernel) and its contemporary plot about […]
