Mogsy’s Winter Reading List

Posted on December 22, 2013 Leave a Comment

At the beginning of each season, I come up with a personal reading list apart from those books to-be-reviewed. I started ever since this summer, when I saw how organized it made me and how efficiently it managed to whittle down my TBR (70%+ completion rate!) Yet I’ll admit, I was terrible with following my […]

Mogsy’s Favorite Romance Book

Posted on November 12, 2013 Leave a Comment

Master of Crows by Grace Draven While I’ve been known to enjoy an element of romance in my reading, I’m not sure if the actual Romance genre is my cup of tea. Harlequin novels or the type of books featuring their heroines’ steely-eyed, bare-chested and six-pack-bedecked love interests on their covers just aren’t generally my […]

Wendy’s Favourite Romance Book

Posted on October 8, 2013 Leave a Comment

For me, the best romance books are the ones that you don’t realize are romances. That happened with The Best of All Possible Worlds by Karen Lord where, coincidentally, the lead character, Grace Delarua, didn’t realize it either.

Elfland by Freda Warrington Genre: Fantasy, romance Series: Aetherial Tales #1 Publisher: Tor Author Info: www.fredawarrington.com It’s hard not to judge a book by its cover when the cover is as beautiful as this. Especially when, as you read along, you discover that the imagery isn’t just there merely for aesthetic value, but actually does reflect […]

Sorrows Of Adoration by Kimberly Chapman I’m not typically a romance fan, but a friend wrote this book and I read it initially out of that ‘obligation,’ but by 2:00AM the next morning, I was so completely smitten with the characters and their emotional struggles that I spent the rest of the day in an […]
