I haven't been so good about blogging lately, but I have written a bit for AAR, including 4 new reviews:
Undone by Karin Slaughter (I liked her last Will Trent book a lot better)
Lord of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase
And 2 mediocre-to-bad recent romance offerings:
At AAR's News Blog I compared and contrasted bad boys and how and why 2 different YA authors tackled them : Zach in Impossible by Nancy Werlin and Ethan Bryne in Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde.
I don't know if anyone has actually missed regular updates on this blog, but if you have, the above are some of my thoughts on romance and characters. I'm going to try and put together my ballot for the Favorite Hanky Reads, Comfort Reads, and Holiday Reads Ballot which we are polling for right now at AAR. So look for that.
I've been putting together my ballot too, but I don't think I'm going to
have a full ten books for hanky reads. I *might* have 3. As for the holiday
reads, I have my favorites, but probably nobody else on the planet will
also vote for most of mine so that's kind of discouraging.
I'm trying to do the ballot, too. I can come up with my top 2 or 3, but
then after that, I start having to really rack my brain.
