Making Merry on Midsummer’s Eve

Spring is in the air! As the sun shines brighter and the temperatures rise, I feel my blood stirring. Summertime, with her vibrant, sweaty nights, is coming soon. I love every season, but I find summer by far the sexiest. Indeed, I set my debut novel, the RUNAWAY COUNTESS, during the hot, sultry summer of 1821.

Summer brings long days spent out-of-doors, succulent berries fresh from the garden, and boisterous open air festivals. The most …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Happy Holidays everyone and welcome to our newest edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?. This week we will talk about movie tie-in covers. You know, books especially made for promotion of a series or movie release of a novel. We’ve all seen them pop-up whenever a book adaptation becomes a blockbuster or a TV hit!  Sometimes it’s for the best, sometimes it’s for the worst. Take a look at our selection  and tell us what you think =)

Caro: See this is a good example of how Movie Tie-in covers will be the end of me. I already have the US version of this book and now I am craving the tie-in cover. It’s so vibrant, so pretty. I love it! Not a fan of the UK cover though, she seems way too young. *runs to order the Tie-in cover*

Susi: To Caro’s utter dismay I still haven’t read …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to our new edition of The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? Here at Book Lovers Inc we’re known to be picky cover-wise. Yes this is a nice way to say we often bitch about every tiny details of covers. But sometimes we see new covers and we are left speechless…in a good way. I remember us dedicating a whole post ranting about a Kate Daniels cover and here we are today having a raving post about the new Ilona Andrews cover! We’re curious to see what you think of these covers.

Caro: *squeeeee* I fell in love at first sight with this cover! Wow I mean everything works for me. I LOVE the model they chose, her face screams BADASS, she looks so fierce. I love that. I also love the background with Atlanta smoking. The colors are perfect (yes I love orange). And last detail, the …

Audiobooks 101- A guide to the Audiobook Galaxy

Welcome to the world of Audiobooks! Today we’ll be raving about our love for audiobooks and what you have to consider before choosing what to listen to next! 

Susi: I can’t really say how all this started- okay maybe I do- Caro was crazy about audiobooks and the last Carolyn Crane was in audio first so I tried it and never looked back. It’s just so handy. You can knit while listening to audiobooks or be on the tram or clean the apartment or other things you need 2 hands for. Just the perfect way to spend the time.

Caro:I started listening to Harry Potter years ago when I had insomnia (it didn’t help btw the narration sucked me in). The narrator blew me away and ever since I kept wishing I could listen to more Audiobooks. I finally gave in and tried a few books and I got addicted. I listen to …

What about “The Wife” as a common recurring theme. So many HR books have a arranged marriage and the husband and wife are not in love. Some reason or another the husband or wife decide they must woo the other

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Welcome to our new sexy edition of The Good, The Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me? This week we’re sticking to these 3 categories and applying them to Ménage covers! We’ve found that successfully portraying Ménages on covers is not always easy. Or maybe we’re just picky. Who knows! Be prepared for the best and the worst!

Reminder: We’re just talking about the covers and not about the books’ content. Some great books have horrid covers and vice-versa. 😉

The Good Sandwich:

Caro: I know we’ve already talked about the Tart cover so I’ll ust keep it short and say I love it. Now I just discovered the cover of Double Time and I love it too! It’s soft and sexy. I love the colors I love how they skin looks so soft. 2 thumbs up!

I like the cover of Tequila Truth. …
