This series is exhausting me. What series you may ask? Does it matter? I don’t read series anymore. I can’t. I can’t bear it. They make me feel like a nine year old on a cross-country car trip in which the car is a 1958 Edsel with no air conditioning and a 60 year old [...]
Alas
I have been very remiss. I’ve been neglecting my blog most horribly. The reason is because I have been using all my extra time and energy trying to finish my PCA/ACA paper that I will be giving in New Orleans next Thursday. Yes, indeed. That task thas completely taken over my energies and brain, and [...]
Haute Goth
I had a dream last night . . . of course, I’m sketchy on the details . . . but it seemed to be one in which I was a romance novel heroine in the Victorian period and some fella was proposing to me. And, of course, though I can’t remember the details I remember [...]
Announcing . . .
I have decided that at least once a week I shall endeavor to write a recurring blog post I am going to entitle: An Open Letter to a Romance Novel Hero, in which I will write a letter to a hero of some novel on some matter. It should be completely un-serious so you all [...]
You’re Kind Of A Douchebag, Devon.
This post is all about the ever popular and extremely beloved novel The Windflower by Laura London aka Sharon & Tom Curtis. Currently, this book is out of print, gosh darnit.
I’ve been thinking about Devon Crandall, erstwhile pirate and Duke of Earl. I’ve decided Devon’s kind of a douchebag.
Before I go any further I would [...]
A Reflection On My Favorite Hero
I have just finished viewing the section in the BBC 4 documentary Reader I Married Him on heroes. The documentary discussed in depth four heroes of romantic literature: Mr. Darcy, Mr. Rochester, Heathcliffe, and Rhett Butler. Watching this I found myself at a loss because with the exception of my brief crush on Mr. Darcy at [...]
Teresa Mederios’ Heroines
This Saturday, which as everyone knows was Valentine’s day, I went to my favorite bookstore accompanied by my mother. For paperback loves, it is used-book heaven and chiefly among its qualities is the very excellent romance section. I can never walk out of there without at least three books. This time I picked up Teresa Mederios’ [...]
Holiday Hiatus
As usual the Holidays have rendered me unable to do anything but sit and stare at various television marathons whilst eating leftovers. At some point this week I will try to post something new.
Thoughts on “Twilight” from the perspective of a radical ex-Mormon
I’ve been meaning to write this post for awhile but I was finally compelled into it after reading The Atlantic article discussed in last week’s Smart Bitches Trashy Books. A little background first, a disclosure if you will, of my Mormon credentials. I was born to a pair of Mormon radicals and even when I went [...]
Delay
I just moved so I haven’t been able to post anything here. However, look for two new posts in the coming week.
