Harris O’Malley & the YA genre

7 July 2008 Jackie 0

Browsing through the interweb and I found an article on Harris O’Malley. This picture was showcased and it just captured me. Maybe it’s the Demon Summoning for Dummies that the chick is holding, but I like it. I also think it shows a trend in the paranormal world right now […]

New LE Logo Coming Soon

5 July 2008 Jackie 0

Can we say shiny? It may seem like there’s a lot of reviews up here already, but my site is still pretty new and I’m still tweaking it a little. One thing that I’ve really wanted to add and haven’t yet is a logo. I want something that screams Literary […]

Hospital Visits & Vampires

20 June 2008 Jackie 2

Okay, so these two topics have nothing to do with each other (at least in this context), but I found them pretty much at the same time so I’m putting them in the same post. I stumbled over to Maw Books and found out about her terrifying experience. I have […]

Books as Movies

4 June 2008 Jackie 2

I just finished Twilight and with all the hype that the movie version is getting, I’m starting to get a little worried about the movie. The novel was really good, so good that I went out bought the second novel, that I’m afraid that the movie won’t be as good. […]

What I Would Recommend

26 May 2008 Jackie 16

Whatever your tastes, I could probably give you a good recommendation. For instance, if you’re into the whole erotica paranormal genre, then you should probably check out Cheyenne McCray’s Magic series (Forbidden Magic). For the historical fiction people, Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series (Outlander) is completely breathtaking (I actually can’t wait […]

24 May 2008 Jackie 0

Damien by Jacquelyn Frank was out at Borders! So of course I picked it up, which makes it next on my list to read. Guess what’s being offered by the Buffyverse….Tarot Deck and the “Conversations with Dead People” Board. Kinda sounds like a Ouija board to me. Named for an […]

Book Giveaway

23 May 2008 Jackie 0

Don’t get too excited, the books I’m giving away are not that special. I recently decided against going to Law School, and since we are moving and I have to pack up all 400+ books, I figured it would be a good time to pass on some of my political […]

WVMP Radio

13 May 2008 Jackie 1

Jeri Smith-Ready’s new novel, Wicked Game, was officially released today. I was lucky enough to win an ARC and found it to be a really new twist to vampires and their need for “lifeblood”. In relation to the book, today was also the release date for the site of WVMP […]

Urban Fantasy Randomness

12 May 2008 Jackie 2

I found this link through Dewey over at the Hidden Side of a Leaf, but there seems to be a book carnival out there and this past month’s topic was Urban Fantasy novels. This month was hosted by Scooter and he gives a run down of all the UF novels […]
