It’s been a good week for entertainment this week. I just finished reading “Lover’s Knot” by Donald Hardy, one of the new m/m romances from Running Press. It was wonderful! It’s set in a small Cornish village, and there’s a gripping plot that involves ghosts and revenge and the return of a demon lover from…
I managed to miss Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End so I still haven’t seen that film. I’m not heartbroken to have missed it, but it might have been nice to watch it just for the sake of completeness. Another time, maybe. Dr. Who was very RTD-like still – far too much rushing about…
Well, we had a very nice Christmas this year. Dad came down from up North (near Manchester) and stayed from the 23rd. He’s on his way home now. Then on the 25th my sister and brother in law visited for Christmas day, so we ended up cooking for 7 – five adults and two children. …
As I’m finding it hard to get to the computer, with Dad here for a visit, and my sister and brother in law coming tomorrow, I’m grabbing a quick opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hogmanay, Wonderful (Winter festival of your choice) and a better 2010 than 2009.
That crashing sound is the sound of me swooning inelegantly and falling off my chair with ever so slightly embarrassed but overjoyed shock. Wow! False Colors is picked as joint number #14 on Dear Author’s Top 100 Romances list. As if this wasn’t flabberghasting enough, this isn’t their ‘top 100 of 2009’, it’s their ‘top…
If you’re desperately looking for something to do – even something small – to protest at the anti-Gay bill in Uganda, and maybe, just maybe, get someone in power to rethink, you may want to join this Facebook group Anglicans who want THIS statement from Canterbury The Archbishop of Canterbury has failed to exercise moral…
It’s been a bit of a trying month, with both shoulders now getting in on the freezing act, scarcely any range of motion left in the left hand one, and permanent tiredness due to not being able to sleep. However, some things somehow make up for it all and today I’m feeling very very lucky…
This year the standard was even higher than last year, and we were, again, struggling with the problem that we had so many good stories that we had to reject some for no better reason than that they were too long, or they were ever so slightly less relevant to the theme than other stories…
Thank you to genrereviews for including the I Do anthology in their list of books they rate as “Best of 2009” 😀 I Do! anthology Even ignoring the fact that all proceeds for this anthology go to support equal marriage rights, this is just a beautiful, beautiful collection of stories that explore the gamut of…
Who make the point I was trying to make about reviewing, only in a funnier way and without being too worried if anyone thinks they’re being rude. I was reading their book, “Beyond Heaving Bosoms” this week, which is wonderful, and very funny, though not directly relevant to the m/m part of the genre. But…
