Cheap Bindings Suck.

  • Posted on August 15, 2006 at 10:46 pm

Is it just me or are new books getting cheaper and shoddier made? I have two new Avon/Harper books that are starting to come apart and I doubt they will last more than very few readings. Is this a case of saving money by the publisher or some conspiracy to wipe out used books sales?

The two books that are falling apart are: Lynsay Sands, A Bite To Remember and Lisa Kleypas’s Scandal in Spring. Both are by Avon/Harper. I sent an email to Harper when I first noticed this on Lynsay Sands books, but I assumed it may have been a fluke, but to have the same thing happen again a month later with another new book just plain sucks…..

Danse Macabre-Laurell K Hamilton

  • Posted on August 9, 2006 at 11:13 am
Laurell K Hamilton, Dance Macabre

I just could not finish it. I put this book down after the 25th chapter. I can sum this book so far in a few sentences – spoiler alert – Anita has sex with almost anyone, thinks about sex with anyone, everyone that sees her wants to have sex with her, everyone that touches wants to have sex with her. Thats it folks……. There is a few mentions that she may or may not be pregnant, at this point I really don’t give a shit if I ever find out the result of this “pregnancy” I am that effing bored with this story.

Bad Attitude-Sherrilyn Kenyon

  • Posted on July 31, 2006 at 9:16 pm
Sherrilyn Kenyon, Bad Attitude

I was in the mood for a good action book so I plucked this from my to be read list.

Bureau of American Defense (BAD) is shadow agency responsible for counter-terrorism in the US. Sydney Westbrook (who annoyingly was repeatedly referred to as an Angelina Jolie look alike) is looking for a new partner to help take down a target. J.D. Steele is a sniper in prison for shooting at his commanding officer and is perfect for her job. She proceeds to recruit him. She is known as a literal ball buster and frigid, and he is a major attitude problem, but she warms up quickly to Steele.

Cantalope anyone?

  • Posted on July 30, 2006 at 7:33 pm

What an horribly bad cover. I wonder if the artist/publisher was afraid that we just might miss the topic of the book so they decided to make it glaringly clear incase we don’t get the obvious.

Dear publisher, I get that this is a gay regency romance but the bulge down the shirtless guys pants is just plain scary. Thankfully this man is gay because what women would not run screaming from Mr. Monster Ball guy. A phallic shape portray an aroused male, a cantaloupe suggests ball cancer.

Slow Burn-Julie Garwood

  • Posted on July 26, 2006 at 2:53 pm
Julie Garwood, Slow Burn

I choose this title for AngieW’s July TBR Challenge.

Title: Slow Burn

Author: Julie Garwood

Year published: 2005

Why did you get this book?

I have always been a fan of Julie Garwood. The Bride and the Wedding have been on my keeper shelf for longer than I can remember. Recently I started reading her suspense novels and have enjoyed them. I have a quite a few sitting on my TBR pile. Slow Burn has a decent size wish list so I thought I would read it and pass along before some of the others.

The Kept Woman-Susan Donovan

  • Posted on July 22, 2006 at 10:56 am
Susan Donovan, The Kept Woman-B

This is a quick, fun summer read that I enjoyed. Samantha Monroe has been struggling to keep her life together after her husband gets her pregnant (for the 3rd time), declares he is gay and sneaks out of town. Working 12 hours days as a hairdresser is not paying her bills.

Jack Tolliver has decided to run for office and he needs to get rid of his playboy “Kennedy” image. Protestingly, at the suggestion of his employee he makes a proposition to Sam that she can’t refuse.
