4 days ago by Historical Romance Author

Recent research maintaining that young women have unrealistic expectations of love and marriage as a result of watching romantic films demonstrates a prejudice that is not confined to the 21st century. This theatre review was in “The New British Ladies Magazine” for October 1819. The plates are from ...

Review: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

7 days ago by Screaming Blue Reviews

Ever wish you were three hours younger? Ambitious and rambling, lacking in narrative theme, David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button never lives up to its novel premise but collapses instead into a mass of style over substance, eventually becoming what might be the biggest major studio di ...

Top 5 of 2008

11 days ago by Brie

This year I read only a handful of books published in 2008. Because of that I found it hard to come up with a best of 2008 list. Now, after searching my bookshelves, I did come out with at least five books published in 2008 that I really liked. They might not be as memorable as some, but they were g ...

Love in the Dark Romance

23 days ago by Gregory D. Welch

How is that a thing as repulsive as a Vampire, with an undead and cold heart feel the burning fires of love and passion? How then can a beast of rage, biting teeth and fury madness fall victim to a single arrow shot from Cupid’s magic bow? How can it be that a mindless corpse of rotting flesh and gn ...

All The Same?

32 days ago by dara11

I’ve been on a gothic romance kick lately. Does anyone in the world besides me still read books written a couple decades ago? Apparently not, judging by the rate at which my local library is selling off their used copies. Even ebay is getting in on the selling action. I just bought a lot of 23 novel ...

2008 Bambi Awards

40 days ago by admin

Diane Kruger looks beautiful in her white asymmetric silk gown, but I am missing the wow factor that I usually have when I look at Diane on the red carpet. Pink goes for animal print again on the red carpet. The wild print suits her personality, but I just wish that black sash was not ruining [...]

The Ancaster Demons

41 days ago by Clare

My rating: * I have put up a review of this rather dire book simply as an excuse to introduce the only social networking site I have found to be of any use - Goodreads. This site allows you to keep a record of the books you read and to share your ratings and reviews of these books with friends. It a ...

Wuthering Heights, Gothic Romance

45 days ago by beatriz

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Where to begin with this one? Since I was a teenager, I’ve had a yearly ritual where I read this novel every November. Wuthering Heights is by far my all-time favorite novel. I just finished reading it for about the tenth time and it’s just as mesmerizing as the fir ...
