There are very few things I don’t read. But there are a few genres I read very, very rarely. One of those is romance (it’s just not something I gravitate towards). I can count on one hand the number of books I’ve read that are just romance books (not other genres with a romantic subplot), […]
Read MoreI’m not sure why, but lately I’ve been getting the urge to read books that are not what I typically reach for. Case in point: Kismet, a novel that decidedly fits into the romance category.

Okay, not an entire genre, I’m not about to go buy any of those books at the supermarket with half-naked farmhands on […]
Read MoreThis week’s Top Ten Tuesday is a Valentine’s Day freebie. I’m not really a fan of Valentine’s day – I don’t like pink or hearts or chocolate.
