It’s that time of year again! The time when we celebrate all things romance for a full month in #Rombklove, a cooperative effort among a bunch of readers and bloggers headed up by Ana of Immersed in Books.

Old School Romance for #RomBkLove
Hello and welcome to #RomBkLove Day 11: Old School! My friend Ana Coqui is hosting a month of romance recommendations on her blog, Twitter and elsewhere and asked a number of other bloggers to take on topics that interest them and host a day during the month. In a move that should be unsurprising to
NECRWA Chapter Conference Hazelnut and Bourbon Chocolate Ganache Cookies
I’m soaking in the loveliness that has been the Northeast Corridor RWA chapter’s annual conference. I wanted to drop a quick post both to say that if you haven’t been to this conference, I highly, highly recommend it. It’s just the right size to meet authors and get some great books signed. Last night I

My Samhain Sale Picks
It was a bit of a sad weekend for this romance lover. One of Northern Virginia’s two main local used bookstores closed its doors today. I was able to snap up 20 romances by various authors (including four by the lovely and delightful Liz Talley and a bunch of old school historicals by Iris Johansen,
Ever After Box + Giveaway
I admit it. I’m totally in love with the subscription box concept. Whether it’s pet treats for Chester or cool nerd stuff for my husband, it’s such a fun surprise to see what we’ll get every month. I just hadn’t found the perfect book-focused one until Ever After Box. See, I’m a romance reader. I’m
