I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou The town reacted to us as its inhabitants had reacted to all things new before our coming. It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless (and children) it closed in around us, as a real mother embraces a stranger’s child. Warmly, but not too familiarly. I’m reading a beat up old copy that I found in a part of my […]

“Do me the service of explaining just how this man has come to be in my drawing room?” Jack waited for someone to offer an explanation, and then, when none was forthcoming, offered his own version. “She kidnapped me,” he said with a shrug, motioning toward the dowager. This is an Historical Romance featuring a a highwayman hero (the one speaking in the quote) and the dowager’s companion. I give this one a big thumbs up. MizB of Should Be […]
“How many toes did I have when we left London, does anyone remember? Jim asked, examining its feet. This is the last for MacAlister’s 4-book Aisling Grey series. The whole set is about a “normal” woman (actually a bit of a klutz) who gets sucked into a society made of mages, gaurdians, demons, and dragons. The individual talking is her pet demon in dog form.

Others had been here before her—young people who were just as hungry, just as desperate. Even the spice rack was empty, a bad sign, since it meant someone was hungry enough to consider cloves and dill weed food. MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesday.

“You have lovely eyes. You’re abusing them.” This is a man talking to a woman. He’s interested in her, but trying not to show it.

I have a hard cover edition of it up for grabs this week. Back up to my post […]
“Look!” I cried, dancing about the tipsy hold. “I have my sea legs!” The heroine has never been to sea before, and is having fun while her companion is busy being sea sick in the corner.

When we reached the head of the wide golden staircase set into the hill, and I found balm for my torn feet on a hundred stone steps warmed by the healing sun, I surveyed the perfect little cloister, the tiny chapel, and the cells beyond, and responded to the sacred peace in my own way, “Thank f^ck for that.” MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesday.

by Sabrina Jeffries “God help me,” he muttered. “I shall burn in Hell for certain.” I like the way the quote goes with the title of the book. I am making my way through this book very slowly. It’s well written and interesting, but it seems I’m not in the mood for Historical Romance right now. MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesday.

“Bernie,” he said, “you are absolutely beautiful, and if you’ll marry me, I will never let anyone hit you with a rifle again.” This was one of his more political books.
