The current times, with the coronavirus pandemic and quarantine/confinement, are difficult on most people, in more ways than one, including (and importantly) financially. Many lost their job, others (like me) are on temporary unemployment. This also includes a lot of authors. Not everyone has the chance of a J.K. Rowling, a Nora Roberts, a Diana... Continue Reading →
Letting go is something difficult when you've been carrying a torch for 20 years. Yet, this is what Vivien Stone has to do in Third Time's A Charm, the second of Michelle M. Pillow's Order of Magic series, which just came out and which I've read over the last 24 hours (and a bit). As... Continue Reading →
Like everyone should be doing right now, I am staying put and staying at home. (I hope that, unless your job is an essential one, you are doing the same, because that's the most important thing to do right now.) However, keeping my posterior in my apartment does not mean that I can't travel. And... Continue Reading →
I'm sure that I mentioned never to read any book by Robyn Peterman while on the public transit (or in any public place, for that matter). Thankfully, we are in confinement so I'm reading her books comfortably at home... and I can laugh my fill. Thankfully, because getting my reading mojo back meant that I... Continue Reading →
Over the last four days, I have been slumping. The inactivity caused by the confinement was slowly driving me bonkers and everything suffered: my mood, my sleep, my optimism, and even my reading habits. From a book per day, I went to not finishing much more than a novella. It's not that the books weren't... Continue Reading →
Times are rough for everyone right now, with most of us forced to stay at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic and everything temporarily closing, including libraries and, in many parts, even bookstores. What can a reader do in those times? If you have a TBR pile that you have been adding to for quite... Continue Reading →
I have all the time in the world for the next two weeks, since the schools are closed. And I have a huge TBR (e)pile. So what do I do? I reread! Don't ask. I just felt like rereading some of the Warlocks MacGregor books. After all, I am an avid rereader (seriously) and those... Continue Reading →
As a reader, nothing builds more anticipation in me than the upcoming release of a book by a favourite author. Knowing that Jude Deveraux had a new book coming for the last few months was, for me, quite a buildup. After all, her last book, Met Her Match, had released on 17 September, 2019, almost...

As we know, we are currently dealing with a worldwide pandemic. Of course, like each and every country of the world, Canada isn't immune to it, and all the provinces are touched. Our Prime Minister announced, today, that all schools (and cegeps, universities, and day cares) were closed for the next two weeks. As a... Continue Reading →
After finishing the hilariously crazy Magical Midlife Madness, by K.F. Breene, I did what I had been doing for a week after reading a PWF novel: I took a 24-hour break from the PWF books so I could clear my mind. Hence, I picked up the second Jade Calhoun book. I said a one-day break,... Continue Reading →
My latest Paranormal Women's Fiction read, the eighth of the 13 books released in February, was K.F. Breene's Magical Midlife Madness. And madness it was! I laughed so hard that, at times, I feared that I would disturb the neighbours. Yes, I laughed that much, and that hard, for most of the book. In fact,... Continue Reading →
As an avid reader, I'm glad that such a thing as an eReader exists. For one thing, I ran out of place in my bookcases (yes, plural!) a long time ago. For two, it's good on the budget, as eBooks are usually cheaper than actual paper books. For three, let's face it, they are good... Continue Reading →
