My Unofficial Personal Listening Challenge for 2010 is proceeding quite well much to my delight. For my first challenge category, Fantasy Romance, I chose Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Sharing Knife, Volume 1: Beguilement. It was truly enchanting and I’m now sure I’ll listen to all four in the series. Next up was the Abridged Romance…
No books, today, but we’ve got two cool Nora items up for grabs by one lucky reader: A cool messenger bag signed by Nora and (this is my personal fave) a baseball cap worn by Eve Dallas herself. Okay, so Eve isn’t real, but if she were, this would be her cap. To enter for…
The Memorial Day weekend is upon us and here in the U.S. that means summertime is kicking off. It’s the season of beaches, pools, quiet shady spots, and, for readers like us, the time when we’re all on the lookout for the Perfect Summer Read. When I was a kid, a highlight of summer was…
Yes, I’m one of those romance readers who fits the cliché: Just give me a box of bon bons and a shirtless duke in a cape and I’m all set. Okay, so I’m not quite that clichéd. Bon bons have w-a-a-a-a-y too many carbs and just slapping the title on any wallpaper character doesn’t cut…

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I love the books of Sherry Thomas. And, with His at Night scheduled for release on May 25th, those who love historical romance as much as I do have reason to celebrate. As one of the author’s biggest fans, I’ll say that this one is a bit…
This week marks one year for our Speaking of Audiobooks column. Our discussions seem to get better with each passing month as we hear comments from new listeners and come to know the tastes of some of our regular sharers. Thanks for making this first year a success. Now for our second year! 2010 Personal…
We’re talking casting here again at the AAR blog. Lynn wrote earlier this week about how she never, ever visualizes actors as characters in a novel she’s reading. Truth is I rarely do either. But sometimes something just clicks and the pairing of an actor with a character feels totally right. The list of favorite…
How’s that for a picture? Two superstar authors feelin’ the love after a successful booksigning. Hey, it was a moment for me, too. Last weekend I attended the 2010 Washington Romance Writers Retreat and, it’s safe to say, a good time was had by all. The weekend started off in the traditional way: A multiple…
We’ve been buzzing around AAR for some time now about Meredith Duran, one of the rising stars of historical romance. It started with Duke of Shadows in 2008 and continued into a blockbuster 2009 with Bound By Your Touch (my favorite by the author and one of many AAR readers as well, considering the results…
