and aside from being upset for all the women writers I know
I thought
what the hell!
I do not look at the name of the author when looking for books to read
Here is what usually happens
someone on twitter recommends a book
I go to Amazon and look
if I like the summary I buy itSuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15077691137630721288noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078268138487024819.post-53944597836461255002015-04-01T09:53:00.000-05:002015-04-01T09:53:04.562-05:00Gay Dinosaur Billionaire adventures with Bigfoot and Friends

OK let me preface this by saying this has NEVER
been the kind of thing I would read
not even remotely consider spending a penny on this
I was given an ARC by my friend and asked for an honest review
I thought what the hell I have read Snamione porn with no plot before so why not gay dinosaurs?
I am glad I gave this book a chance
it is a series of short stories Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15077691137630721288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078268138487024819.post-71833753575049416242015-03-15T12:53:00.001-05:002015-03-16T14:37:26.800-05:00Apples Should be Red by Penny Watson
Apples Should be Red
Recipe for Thanksgiving Dinner:
Start with 62-year old politically incorrect, chain-smoking, hard-cussing curmudgeon.
Add 59-year old sexually-repressed know-it-all in pearls.
Throw in a beer can-turkey, a battle for horticultural supremacy, and nudist next-door neighbor.
Serve on paper plates, garnished with garden gnome.
Tastes like happily ever after.

This is a series of five books or short stories or novellettes or novellas or whatever you want to call them. They take place in between the White years and The Red years and feature our favorite smart-ass, Nora I love Nora. She reminds me of movie heroines from the thirties and forties.

This post is in response to this graphic
I know this has been said before by people much more eloquent than me but here is my take
I am a free reviewer
I pay for the books I get out of my pocket
Or
I get them from netgalley
I am not paid for this
Reading and reviewing books is my hobby
I do this for me and for my enjoyment
Same reason I blog here
this is mine
It is my crafting Suehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15077691137630721288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078268138487024819.post-1833295686635957662015-01-18T09:49:00.000-06:002015-01-26T11:12:40.801-06:00A little house cleaningOr rather a bit of kindle app cleaning. If you are like me you also have a kindle app or a kindle full of random books. Mine range from the free books I have gotten when they were kindle freebies, or the promo books that are always free , to assorted books from netgalley I was approved for and just never got around to.

I bought this book based on a rec through a friend in my twitter timeline
I saw her talking to Tiffany Reisz about this book
Tiffany (as you know writes The Original Sinners series) said
" one of the best examples of a male sub "
I am always skeptical when it comes to reading about male subs

a well done, well researched historical fiction is a fabulous way for me to step outside my life without any of the reminders of this world.

HI ALL
I know it has been forever since I have done a post . I can give you a million excuses but mostly it comes down to real life. If you follow me on twitter you know my reasons. I do plan on getting back to this because the unfinished posts about good books I have read is really starting to bug me. In the meantime please enjoy this post and contest for the book Melted Tears.

After
college, Ryan Kowalski decided to leave Whitford, Maine, rather than
watch Lauren Carpenter marry another man. Now his siblings need his help
to refurbish the family-owned Northern Star Lodge and he’s forced to
face the past sooner rather than later when he collars a vandal—and
learns the boy is Lauren’s son…

Two things I never thought I would EVER be talking about at the same time.
This story is told from the POV of the Zombie, which is very ambitious of this author. It could have gone VERY wrong! When I heard about this book, I figured I would be reading many pages that would be similar to a conversation with my husband after a long day of work:
