What can I say? I have a history of deliberately choosing old category romances with punctuation marks in the title because they amuse the heck out of me. So for this month’s TBR Challenge, I picked up Who’s The Boss?, a 1999 Harlequin Temptation by Jill Shalvis. I found it in a thrift store in
For this month’s TBR Challenge, I didn’t even look up the theme until I’d already finished the book I was intending to read and miraculously, it fits! Scout’s Honor is a 2015 Harlequin Superromance in Stephanie Doyle’s Bakers of Baseball series. I think this is actually book two, but I didn’t read book one and
For my Backlist Glom for TBR Challenge, hosted by Wendy the Super Librarian, I picked out Bargain With the Devil by Jayne Castle. Castle, aka Amanda Quick, aka Jayne Ann Krentz is well-reprented on my TBR pile. Despite being a long-time romance reader, I had only picked up one Krentz title. See, she didn’t write highlanders,
I took a little hiatus from TBR Challenge last year. An unintentional one since I did actually sign up in 2017. But then I decided I might try to write a book. Ha. Ha ha. Anyway I’m back now! And the first book of the TBR Challenge year was a great one. I picked up
I do a lot of used romance buying in thrift stores.

The basic plot is that a planet-bound agrarian society is defended from external threats by a sky-going warrior race in return
This month’s TBR Challenge these was Series Catch-Up and I am way behind on the Spymaster series by Joanna Bourne. Well, technically, I’m not behind so much as rationing them. I’ve read My Lord and Spymaster and The Spymaster’s Lady so this is my third by her. After this I have two more to go
Don’t forget, just a few more days to enter to win an ebook copy of Hard Knocks by Ruby Lang. Check out my review for more details on this steaming contemporary about a neurosurgeon and a hockey player. It’s January, which means that the TBR Challenge theme is shorts: novellas, short stories, category romances, etc.
Season for Surrender by Theresa Romain is a smart, light-hearted, slightly unconventional historical romance. On the face of it, it’s a bluestocking heroine and a rakish hero meeting up at a holiday house party on the shaky basis of a wager between the hero, Lord Xavier, and his equally disreputable cousin, Lord Lockwood. Louisa is
