Joey had reasons. They were threefold.

Fantasy Romance is quickly becoming one of my favorite genres. Here’s why: You get to live in an entirely made up world for a while, full of fairies, magic, animals who can communicate with humans, AND DID I MENTION MAGIC. Sometimes you want the people in those stories to make out and give you swoony feelings. That’s it. Those are my reasons. They are simple, yes (not even threefold!) but feelings don’t have to be complicated all the time. Anyway, The Sea King is the […]

“We all change, when you think about it, we’re all different people, all through our lives, and that’s okay, that’s good, you’ve gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.”

I feel like a bit of a cheat starting with a review of this book, because I actually finished it on December 31st. I always struggle with whether to start with the first book I actually READ in the new year, or if it’s OK to use my first review on a book I read the previous year.

I saw the movie and enjoyed it, but it wasn’t until moving to the PNW that I felt the inclination to pick it up. This is my first Cannonball review of the year and, it being October now, I’ve given up on the possibility of reaching a full Cannonball. But […]

Hamilton wrote THE OTHER FIFTY ONE!

I’m not good at finishing things. I love starting new projects. New blogs. New novels. New hobbies. New anything, really. The planning stage is the most fun. It’s the time you get to think about how amazing your new project is going to be. It’ll be brilliant! Everyone will love it! And then the planning stage is over, and it’s time to actually work. You realize that the actual doing is a lot harder than you’d imagined. It’s also not as fun. It’s like any […]
