I prefer the tastefully done nekked Rogan cover ????
[source: ilona-andrews.com]When I first saw that Rick Rubin clip, I thought he was out of his mind. But, as I skimmed this book at the local bookstore, the things he said resonated with me. So, I bought it and it’s just helping me to get outside of my head…outside of my own way.
These past few days in Newburyport have been much needed – staring out into the ocean and listening to just the waves & wind is…everything.
Thanks to the husband for finding this lovely bookstore called Jabberwocky Books in Newburyport ❤️
Renewed my library card + libby app + hoopla app which means you will never see me now.
I stayed up until 3:30am reading a Lisa Kleypas book. The kiddo did not care that I was only running on a few hours of sleep. I mean, I did this knowingly to myself but it still hurts.
Hellishly Ever After by Nadine Mutas is SO good! If you love banter and chemistry, then this book is for you.
The humor + sarcasm made hell a lot of fun. And the steam? Yes, please and thank you Nadine Mutas for your service.
I proceeded to purchase and download all her other books to tide me over until book two releases.
Did I stay up late last night finishing Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood even though I had to get up ass early for the kiddo’s doctor’s appointment? Pretty much. Do I regret it? No.
All books by Ali Hazelwood are worth it!
I love the characters she creates; love getting a glimpse into some science/NASA; and, I especially love her writing.
The lettering on romance covers dances with bouncy baselines, flirts with right alignment, and tantalizes with enjambment-style line breaks; all faux pas under the academic standards of design, but powerful at eliciting an emotional response. Type is often large-scale and boldly colored, calling out to be touched. But this emphasis on typography shouldn’t be a surprise. After all, letters serve a not dissimilar purpose to both graphic designers and writers—like clay to a sculptor, they’re the raw material waiting to be molded into art.
Love this passage from Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. ‘Tis timeless.
I’ve just discovered urban fantasy romance with The Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews and I am obsessed – obsessed.
There’s magic, action, amazing chemistry, and strong female leads.
But this line from Rogan from White Hot made me melt.
I am currently reading Diamond Fire.
Finally read Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen.
What was I waiting for?! It was such a fun read and to finally be able to read Jane Austen’s progression in her craft from this to Persuasion is amazing.
I’m even more of a Jane Austen fangirl now.
