Tattoos and tattoo related topics will be on there. While this blog is still and always will be devoted to romance novels and my other creative endeavors!
"Love Will Find A Way" - Barbara Freethy - 2002
Hooray! Hooray! The streak is broken! Thanks, Jess for the recommendation - can't wait to glom!
A good solid character driven book, with believable leads and so much tension! Fantastic.
"The Duke and I" - Julia Quinn - 2000
I did it! I finished a book! Hooray - moving on...
- to that fucking dress. While my copy has the same (reissue) cover, it does not have that ridiculous stepback. I know Julia Quinn is known for her anachronisms, but I don't think the heroine should look like a hunky man who lost his shirt sidetracked her from her Saturday Night Fever audition. All I can say about that dress besides it's complete lack of historical accuracy - 1 tug, 1 inch - disaster.
As for "The Duke and I," I enjoyed it despite a third act 'big misunderstanding.' The scope felt much smaller than I remembered, but both Daphne and Simon are great leads, so it was nice to revisit their world, so much so, I've moved on to "Romancing Mr. Bridgerton" a re-read that will feel new again because it's been so long.
July/August Wasteland
I guess it's due to the fact that I have less free time than I used to, but I can't get anything finished. I started Libba Bray's "Going Bovine" after finishing and enjoying "Beauty Queens" - but there is sits, untouched for weeks and soon will be overdue at the library. After re-reading "The Viscount Who Loved Me" I decided to re-read "The Duke and I" which I had only read once - I am creeping through that mother at a snails pace! If I have the time, I fall asleep.
I just need a few hours and something so great and funny or sweeping and romantic I can't put it down.
On the other hand, I've been busier for good reason, so I can accept the dearth of good reads. This won't become a tattoo blog, although I do have some plans in that respect!
