My Laminated Freebie List: TV Series Edition
This summer, I’ve been working my way through the first three season of STARZ’s Outlander series.
Summer Lovin’ Movie Recs Vol 2
Back at the end of June, Dabney made some fantastic summer movie suggestions that went straight on my must-watch list. And of course those ideas got me to thinking about some under-the-radar picks that I’ve enjoyed while staying out of the heat. Most of these have been out for a few years, but they still…
Hot-Headed Love
If you don’t have a teen or teen-ish person in your life, you may not have heard about the Netflix movie that has taken the teen rom-com world by storm, The Kissing Booth.

Good Laird! What’s in a name?
So, I’m reading a book that’s pretty decent (my review is either forthcoming or already posted, depending on when this blog post goes live), but there is simply one aspect that I cannot get past. The hero’s name is Laird. Laird. When my eye catches it, I want to read “Lard” but then I think…
Heroes in Real Time
I admit that I love to read romance novels for pretty much one reason – the swoon-worthy heroes. Be they Navy SEALs, roguish pirates, Scottish warriors or powerful tycoons, their confidence and swagger and charm all draw me in and allow me to escape to a fantasy world where the good guy will always save…

Tale as Old as Time… Our Favourite Beauty and the Beast Stories
