We are now in process of periodically updating the If You Like lists at AAR. Pollsters Lee Brewer and Cindy Smith have given suggestions for updates to the lists as they appear now. We also would like to hear what our readers have to say. This week’s author is Julia Quinn. Here are the…
For the record: I have given All About Romance my resignation. I wish the other three owners – Blythe, Lynn, and Sandy – as well as AAR’s talented staff, the best. All About Romance has a great deal of fantastic content and commentary on romance novels to enjoy. I have spent 8 years contributing to…
Warm weather is here, or at least it is in my part of the world! I’ve been having fun looking over the new releases for summer and picking out books I’d really like to read. There are new treats to look forward to from Julia Quinn, Elizabeth Hoyt, Meredith Duran, Carla Kelly and Tessa Dare,…
Congratulations to Christine M. Karen W., TeeLo, Eileen, and Jim, the five winners of early copies of Meredith Duran’s Wicked Becomes You. Notification emails have already gone out to everyone. Thanks to everyone who entered. And, if you didn’t win, don’t despair. We’ve got some exciting interviews and giveaways coming up. – Sandy AAR
Some folks online are very open about the books they just can’t finish – the DNFs. Here at AAR, if we’re reading a book for review, we have to finish it. I’ve had a few that were almost physically painful to finish, but I made it to that last page. In my own offline life,…
Huzzah, huzzah! Thanks to the able assistance of Jeanne Pickering of Pickering Web Design, AAR’s drop down menus are now working again. If you have an iPhone, all you need to do is refresh the page twice and the functional links will appear. Sadly, it looks as if we still have problems with BlackBerry. Stay…
We thank everyone for the lively discussion. Commenting to this post has been disabled. I’ve been thinking about Voltaire lately. Specifically, one of his most famous quotations: “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” Last Monday, my campus newspaper printed a…
Think about it. The glamourous mood of Edwardian England and prewar Europe, captured in art and literature with a poignant mix of innocence and decadence. The days when airplanes were so rare that people would run outside to watch when one flew overhead. The urgency of wartime romances, the Roaring ’20s, the determination of people…
I had fun seeing the RITA and Golden Heart award nominations go up yesterday. There were some really good books up there! At first, I was just noting that I had read more of the nominees(and had more in my TBR) than in past years. But then, as I pondered this list of books that…
Today is the day, fellow romance lovers. Calls are going out to nominated authors and we’ll be adding to the listing as Lynn Spencer and I hear the news throughout the day. [Authors, if you’re one of the lucky ones, please let us know by emailing sandy @ likesbooks.com. (No spaces.)] Watch this space –…
