For the 6th day of Christmas I’m giving away one of the strangest books I’ve read all year. The Holidays can be crazy, and sometimes you need a little weird in your life to put things in perspective. I originally reviewed Demonic Dora here. You might want to check out what I had to say about this book before entering to win an e-copy of it below. Have you already read this book? If so, I’m […]
Ladies, you will Surrender your heart (as well as your skivvies) to Alexander Redcliff. A tall, broad shouldered and strikingly handsome gentleman filled the doorway. Striking in that his good looks hit her in the chest and stole her breath. Dark hair curling at the ends framed a strong, lean face. A wide mouth was saved from being overly generous by the sculptured, defined lips. The square jaw could have been hewn from marble […]
Check out Michelangelo’s beautiful work and other sources on the Italian icon HERE! “Caterina, a great adventure is in store for you.” Cat Crawford comes from your typical Hollywood family: broken with baggage. Her father is a Hollywood executive, and her mother is an actress with a scandalous existence that guarantees she gets lip-service on every tabloid in the country. There’s a new ”mom” in town, and Cat is struggling to reconcile the […]
First, there was Shakespeare. Then, there was Georgina Guthrie. Sometimes you stumble upon a book that appeals to all your senses. A book that wraps itself around you, and warms you to your core like a chenille sweater during a Canadian winter. The Weight of Words is one of those books. In my mind’s eye, TWoW is leather-bound in Oxblood-red with roughly edged, cream colored pages. It’s a romantic contemporary classic that deserves to be […]
I had no idea who Douglas Booth was until I started following the production of the latest Romeo and Juliet film directed by Carlo Carlei. At first glance at some of the production stills and IMDB photos, I wasn’t impressed with the casting of Hailee Steinfield and Douglas Booth, but I decided to dig a little deeper and see what DB was all about. My research consisted of watching the latest films/television series DB had […]
So I’m listening to the audiobook version of Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout at work. I totally forgot that in Opal Katy, Daemon and Dawson have a George Romero zombiethon in this book where during it Daemon morphs into a zombie (lolol)… I immediately thought of Daemon as a zombie and then remembered that the new season of The Walking Dead premiered last night..and then I had a genius thought…and then I giggled and opened […]
I stumbled across Caleb Lane while doing research for The Academy series by C.L. Stone. I was developing my own private ”dossier” (as C.L. likes to call it) of boys that I found suitable for casting as the magnetic, magical 7 guys in her books. Nathan happens to be one of my favorite boys in The Academy series, and I needed to find someone extra special (and extra HOT) to fill his role for me […]
For reasons known only to the Big Guy upstairs, NYTimes and USA Today Best Selling author Darynda Jones won both a Golden Heart and a RITA for her manuscript FIRST GRAVE ON THE RIGHT. But even before that, she couldn’ t remember a time she wasn’ t putting pen to paper. When she was five, she would pick up a pencil and notepad, scribble utter chaos onto the page and ask her mom to read […]
“Even the stars are lies. They sparkle so brightly, but their shine takes years to reach us. …………… Maybe I, too, am a star that has already burned out, and nobody has realized it yet.” Made of Stars was not what I was expecting. I can’t tell you exactly what I was expecting when I saw the title and skimmed the synopsis, but it was along the lines of a Sci-Fi or romance book. MOS […]
Today, I thought I would focus the author spotlight on Mimi Strong. Erin and I are currently reading Stardust, the first book in the Peaches Monroe series, and we have both overdosed on LOL moments. Hard. Stardust is on the top ten Amazon Bestseller’s list, and with a title like Stardust and a story like Peaches Monroe’s, it’s easy to see why. Here’s a lil’ somethin’, somethin’ about Mimi taken straight from her awesome […]
Instead of September is for Sequels like most book bloggers do this month, we have decided to dedicate September to books that have the word Stars, or Star in the title. We will be reviewing, previewing, giving away, or author spotlighting books that fit with our September theme. We are alien, Sci-Fi, and outer-space obsessed over here at Mereadalot, and what better way to follow our first annual Aliens Abducting August theme, than with […]
Ever wanted to date an Alien? Ever wondered what it would be like to experience some Extraterrestrial flirty-feels of your own? Well, you are in good company. It is with pleasure that I share with you an awesome review of the first book in the My Alien Romance series by Magan Vernon. The wonderful Meredith Johnson of Meredith’s Musings suffers with Alien Lust like the rest of us, and bravely submitted herself to read […]
