Cover of the Week

Her Private Hell? To have to smash her naked breasts against cold ass glass while glancing away in a semi-erotic manner?


Good girl cover art.

Hot.

Twi-Excited

So I'm twi-excited for the opening of Twilight on Friday. Twons of squealing tweens, tweenagers and teens. I hope that I see the following:

1. Glitter eyeshadow
2. At least two girls applying lip gloss in the theater
3. More then three groups of six or more girls
4. Team Edward T-shirts

In October, girls invaded an Ohio mall and waited for hours for a glimpse of the ever dreamy Edward; and a huge brawl broke out - crazy, mad, wild mean girls.

So in short, my twi-dream is that Twilight will be awesome. Robin Sparkles, HIMYM, Let's go to the Mall awesome.

Period Drama

Does anyone else think more men might like period drama if we didn't call it period drama?

Honey, would you like to watch some period drama sounds about as appealing as - honey, would you enjoy sitting and watching something associated with menstrual cycles and bloody cunts?! Come on.

Tips for suggesting period drama to your man:

1. While fans of the genre know that miniseries (especially BBC miniseries) is its best format - try suggesting something with a run time of less than three hours.

2. Swords and horses are a good thing. Lots of dudes like fantasy and battles; and may, therefore, enjoy a good horse laden period romp.

3. Stick to traditional themes - e.g Arthurian Legend.

My current favorites are BBC Robin Hood and BBC North & South. Swoon and double swoon.

Romance is Hot Hot Hot

Bad News - the economy is in the shitter (and staying there). Good News - romance sales are up. I don't find it too surprising that in times of great turmoil, we go for the comforts of love and sex to feel happy and reassured.

Sites like eHarlequin - For women who Love to Read - provide an incredible amount of free content and an active online community. The varied Harlequin lines (Kimani Press, Silhouette, Mira, etc.) enable readers to quickly define, in a simply and fun way, the type of lover they wish or want to be. Interested in contemporary, christian characters facing the challenges of life and love - then Steeple Hill Inspired is the place for you. Are you a discerning woman looking for erotic stories of desire? Then go "ignite yourself" with the Spice line. Looking for a powerful, magical world you can only imagine - head on over to Luna and connect with your fellow magic lovers.

My favorite books are stand alone paranormals, but when reading series I like to be sparked by passion and fueled by desire - I'm a Silhouette Romantic Suspense gal.

Professionally, I try not to judge others reading habits - but personally, I must admit that the home & family lines creep me out. I'm sure I would find them a fine read, but the covers and titles weird me out:

Exhibit A:


Exhibit B:


Am I too biased? These are a little creepy, right?
