Book Review: The Julian Game
All new girl Raye Archer wants is a way into the in crowd, so when ice-queen Ella Parker picks her to get back at her ex, the gorgeous Julian Kilgarry, Raye is more than game. Even if it means creating a fake Facebook identity so she can learn enough about Julian to sabotage him. It’s a fun and dangerous thrill at first, but Raye hadn’t counted on falling for Julian herself and igniting Ella’s rage. As Raye works to reconcile the temptress Elizabeth with her real-life self, Ella serves up her own revenge, creating an online smear campaign of nasty…

A visit from Lauren Hammond
I am pleased to welcome the fabulous Lauren Hammond to A Fanatic’s Book Blog! She is the author of Love Sucks which brings forth the idea of being the last vampire left on Earth. In England during the seventeen hundreds, Cara Jones had her human life ended for her and she became a creature of the night. One moment she’s an adolescent young woman living her life, the next she’s lurking in the streets at night looking for her next meal. The vampire slayings in England became so brutal the whole race was nearly wiped out. So Cara and the clan…

My melting brain.
These are some of the little ragamuffins that I hang with on a daily basis. My apologies for the overly artsy picture, see there’s the little clause in my work that says I can’t take pictures of my kiddos’ faces. If their mom happened to stumble upon my blog and see their adorable smiling child, they might not be too happy about it. I get it. I respect it. So you all get artsy stylish pictures! Woot! Why am I writing this? Well, because I wanted to write something book related and poignant, but my brain is currently a puddle…

Book Borrowing
Warning: This blog post is a bit of a rant, I’ll admit it. If you don’t feel like reading my crazy and possibly cranky thoughts I’d run away now! Or you could just read on…I mean…up to you. Book Borrowing This post springs my from complete and utter confusion with the way that people borrow books. I’ll be honest, I was under the impression that if a book was lent to another book loving person, a fellow bibliophile, it would come back in the same condition in which it left. Sadly, this doesn’t seem to be the case and a…

Book Blogger Hop & Follow Friday! August 13th
This week’s question is: How many books do you have on your ‘TBR shelf’? Ummm….well….I have NO idea! It’s more like a TBR bookcase really. If I had to make a guess I’d wager it’s probably over 100! I know that’s actually pretty good compared to most people, but I’ve been doing my best not to buy books anymore so that I can start reading my own books. I can’t help it really. Books call my name, I answer. You know the drill ya’ll! If you stop by to come say hi, please do me a favor and leave me…
