What better thing to do on a hot summer day, than read a steamy romance novel based in 1800s, London, England. It was almost therapeutic. I mean, simply take a second to imagine it. The carriages and petticoats, the elegant women, the aristocracy and that lovely British accent. Sarah MacLean’s First Rule of Scoundrels was exciting,…

Habits
Habits He has habits; bent over, downcast, dragging behind load upon load, assiduously. He has habits; when little jests give life to dinosaur bones that promise utter destruction. He has habits; with two and a half decades of lessons and excuses from Mr. Bunbury. He has habits; an infallible memory that allows for repetition of…
Book Review: Love’s Tender Fury
It’s been a rather uneventful summer hunting old books and discovering new authors. Of the few old books i came across, none of them quite angered me as much as this. It was racy, it was daring, it was erotic and it was bold for a book written in 1976. Still, i found myself unable…
Book Review: The Raider
#BooksMyMotherWouldNotApproveOf Robbie ‘Raider’ Boyd is sexy! He is the strongest man in all of Scotland in the 1300s during the Scottish and the British wars. He was so hot, that even as a captured rebel, he was noticed from a small window by the fair Lady Rosalin Clifford. Sexually, he prefers his women more…
Book Review: Half Bad
I don’t know what fascinates me most about fantasy fiction. Perhaps, it is the possibility of there being more to the boring routine of the world that is alluded to in books. Perhaps it is the impossible things in the imaginary world and the defiance of the lead characters. For this book, oddly enough, it…
Book Review: Wicked Lovely
This book is a YA fiction. In fact, it specifically says ‘HarperTeen.’ I have no idea how it got on my reading list, but hey, it was there and i read it. I just finished it like twenty minutes before writing this, and guess what, there is going to be a movie soon! (I can’t…
Book Review: Moon Called
We have all come across books with vampires, fae, witches and werewolves. It is something of a recurring theme, and yes, it is something of a cliche, which i understand. Sometimes, books like these are so engaging that irrespective of their similarities with other books, we still pick them up to get lost in a…
Book Review: Darkness Unbound
As a show of good faith that I am sticking to my reading list with special attention to suggestions by others, I read Keri Arthur’s Darkness Unbound. I don’t know any other way to go about reviewing this book than this, and as usual, I apologize in advance for the spoilers. Risa Jone is half…
To-do list
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. I was talking to a friend and he suggested i get a reading list. I am an impulse buyer and with an addiction to book-buying. You can kind of see how a reading list wouldn’t work for me. Anyway here is a month of trials! I…
Book Review: On The Edge
YES, I like having a space to myself where i can rant about literary things like this lovely book i read yesterday. The coauthors Ilona Andrews have stolen my heart and played a mean-ass ball game with it. I mean, i just finished the Kate Daniels series about a month or so ago and i…
Book Review: City of Bones
What i love the most about reading is how developed the world is, how complicated the characters are, and the summary of the choices of each character that leads to conflict or it’s resolution in the book. A good example of this is Cassandra Clare’s City of Bones. The book was a great read. Just…
Let Me Tell You of the Man
Let me tell you of the man With haunted brown eyes Dark, as forgotten cavernous catacombs. His skin was deep dark chocolate. The type you buy and ask why The sugar miserably missed its mark. Those spiked roach legs Attached to his face More Neanderthal that human. Scribbled on his forehead, were Rickety…
