In: Books

Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had a fabulous break, got a little rest and had a lot of fun. Now that it’s over (sort of – there’s still New Years and Christmas decorations to be dealt with…I mean put away) let’s talk books!
Which ones did you get? Which ones did you give?
I got Twilight (In [...]

Double Take

In: Books

We all know that I’m a fan of a great cover. :) I’m also a fan of the new myspace feature that lets you “randomize” your Top Friends.
If you’re not familiar with myspace, you can set a profile picture that appears on your profile and beside your name all over myspace. On your profile page [...]

A keeper!

In: Books, gift ideas

Talk about a new way to organize and display your To Be Read stack. Or how about this… proudly display your keeper shelf for everyone to see.
I’m talking about this invisible bookshelf. It’s too cool for words so pictures and  a link will have to do!

For more info and to get yours visit Barnes and [...]

Ahh, the joy…

In: Books

Ahh the joy of a good book. Somedays I forget how wonderful it is to read…something other than a cereal box or road signs. I see lots of books every day for work. Covers, blurbs, excerpts. It’s easy to forget to slow down and read.
Yesterday I finished Something to Talk About by Joanne Rock. I [...]

Acheron’s Day

In: Books

You’ve been waiting for Acheron’s book haven’t you? Don’t lie. :) This is perhaps the most anticipated book of the year and it’s no surprise to us here at the CataNetwork.
What is it about Acheron that makes hundreds of thousands of mature women flock to him? Perhaps it’s his quiet inner strength. Or those catchy [...]

Sexless Romance Novels

In: Books, Romance

I was at my local Barnes and Noble a week or so ago and as I circled the shelves another reader walked by with a book that I’d been looking for. So of course I struck up a conversation. I proceeded to ask her what she liked to read.
Now keep in mind we were in [...]

My First Time

In: Books

(To read a romance that is.) I hate to disappoint those who might have been hoping for some steamy dirt on the subject of when I lost my virginity but this is almost about the same thing, almost. It’s about the moment when my mind was shaken awake to the reality of the sensual world [...]

Borders is Back

In: Announcements, Books

For the last several years, Borders bookstore has been partnered with amazon.com. Well, today they’ve launched their own website and I have to say it’s rather cute. I like the “bookshelves.”

 
Go see what they suggest for summer reading, but be sure to let me know what you’re planning on reading this summer.
 
 

Responsible Romantic Heroes Use Condoms

In: Books, Columns

Some readers prefer heroes to use condoms while others say the dose of reality kills all the spontaneity and romance. It’s a debate that repeats all over romance land-to use condoms or not to use condoms-since, after all, it is only fiction…
New Zealand erotic romance author, Shelley Munro took this a step further in her [...]

Goodies for Readers

In: Books

I admit that I was into Cafepress when it first came onto the scene. But in the past few years I sort of forgot we even had an account there. Low and behold folks have been buying the CataRomance goodies there. Things like our So Many Books, So Little Time bookbag. And our I’ll eviscerate [...]

Wordless Wednesday- What’s in Your TBR?

In: Books

I am embarrassed to show my TBR Rooms. Yes, you read that right; I have TBR “Rooms” as you will see from the photos. Here is the sad evidence.
I find I get so busy reviewing books that I seldom make time to read the books I have purchased myself. I love books, all [...]
