2 May 2010 Jackie 6

Can I just say what an exhausting experience the RT Booklovers Convention is; but one that is utterly fabulous? This year, I had the wonderful opportunity to spend two days at the RT Booklovers Convention and it has done nothing but make me want to go for the full week […]

Have Some Questions? What Some Answers?

20 April 2010 Jackie 0

I’ve been mentioning it over the last couples days on Facebook (yes, I am active on FB and often have random contests there), but I wanted to officially announce it here (and to get some help).  While I’m at RT next week, I’ll be conducting in-person interviews with a few […]

What I Would Recommend v2.0

14 April 2010 Jackie 8

When I first started Literary Escapism, I wrote up a list of recommendations based on what I had read up to that point.  Two years and over 200 books later, I think it’s time I updated my list a little, don’t you think? The one thing that hasn’t changed, whatever […]

Reader Recommendations – Demons, Fae & Magic

17 March 2010 Jackie 13

Last week, I asked everyone what vampire & shapeshifter novels they would recommend.  This week, let’s take the same question, but this time, let’s focus on the Demons, Fae & Magic. I’m still on the hunt for those great novels I’ve read and have forgotten about or haven’t stumbled across […]

Reader Recommendations – Vampires & Shapeshifters

10 March 2010 Jackie 16

I got to thinking recently about all the authors I typically recommend.  There are some heavy favorites, and not just by me, on my list, but I started wondering…am I missing someone who I’ve read and have simply forgotten to add?  I’ve read a lot of new authors since then […]

Are Ebooks Really That Much Cheaper?

24 February 2010 Jackie 13

With all the Amazon and MacMillan drama that has been going on, I keep seeing posts about people boycotting ebooks to protest against the prices and that just really depresses me. Boycotting books doesn’t do anything to the publisher. They could care less in my opinion. They have a ton […]

Happy Valentines Day!

Hopefully everyone is curling up with their own favorite monster today.  Other than the hubby and the monkey, I’m planning on getting […]
