Today is a super busy day in my world (Freebird is 3?! How the CRAP did that happen!?) but I still manage to grab 10 minutes at the laptop.
I noticed that I’m very much a mood swing reader, in that I’ll glom onto a particular type of romance, then turn radically in a different direction. For awhile, I’ve been feasting on contemporaries: novellas, suspense mysteries, humorous, but straight up contemporary. Now? Historical?! YUMMY. I deviated from the line up of the TBR pile (for which I am giving myself a very hard time) and taking a side route through an angsty historical I picked up idly one evening and believe I have been sucked into.
Speaking of, let me ask you a question: do you want to know what I’m reading right now? Like, if I’m reading Angsty Historical that jumps forward and back in time, and I’m not sure what I’m thinking of it or how I’d evaluate it since I’m still Getting Into It, do you want to know what it is? Until now I’ve felt like naming book titles when I’m not sure what I think of them yet is somehow rude or teasing, and I don’t want to be a book tease. But hey, if you want to know, I’ll mention things as I read them.
Of course, if I’m reading a file I’ve emailed to the Kindle, until I look up the sent mail file I might only be able to say that I’m reading NC_Oc_R.PDF and no, I have NO IDEA what the hell that is. It’s like blind taste testing on the Kindle sometimes, because with some e-ARCs that I have, the title/author info doesn’t appear at the top of the screen.
I’m not usually big into angsty historicals, but it’s a foggy, rainy day here, and I’m tucked into the sofa cushions reading until nap time ends, and chaos descends, so it’s fabulous.
A website that reviews romance novels from a couple of smart bitches who will always give it to you straight. No bullshit. No gushing--unless the author really deserves it.
I’ll have to go with a recipe for Chipotle Buffalo Chili that I learned to make from a cooking class I took a couple of years ago in San Francisco. Mmmmmm.
Yup, bullshit. I’d be willing to accept his excuse if he said that he found it on his harddrive and couldn’t remember whether he wrote it or not. I know that happened to me, though only with little pieces of…
I don’t cook much - that’s the husband’s job, and he’s damned good at it. But I do bake and am excellent at party food. My chocolate chip cookies are legendary. The recipe I use is a simple one, from…
Grilled Cheese.
So many variations that I love but nothing better on a cold night crunchy buttery bread with melted cheese. Yum. The ultimate comfort food.
I adore cooking. I make it a point to try and cook something yummy every day. And when I travel, I try to pick up a bit of the local cuisine from a good cook and of course, other foodies…
