Book Blurb:
A talented painter in her early thirties, Paris Sweeney has achieved enviable success: her work sells at an exclusive New York City gallery, and her popularity is at an all-time high. Life is good, and Sweeney, as she prefers to be called, is content. But lately, Sweeney’s dreams – lush, vivid, and drenched in vibrant hues – seem to echo a growing restlessness that has taken hold of her. Suddenly, impulsively, Sweeney falls into a night of intense passion with millionaire Richard Worth. Now, the true dangers of her all-consuming urges are about to be revealed where Sweeney least expects it: in her paintings. After a creative frenzy she …
Hexed by Kevin Hearne
Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, doesn’t care much for witches. Still, he’s about to make nice with the local coven by signing a mutually beneficial nonaggression treaty—when suddenly the witch population in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they’re badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II.
With a fallen angel feasting on local high school students, a horde of Bacchants blowing in from Vegas with their special brand of deadly decadence, and a dangerously sexy Celtic goddess of fire vying for his attention, Atticus is having trouble scheduling the witch hunt. But aided by his magical sword, his neighbor’s rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and his vampire attorney, Atticus is ready to sweep the town and show the witchy women they picked …
This week we decided to cross European borders and give you…*drumrolls* Japanese covers!
Just so you know, searching for covers on the Japanese Amazon when you don’t know a word of the language is a risky adventure. We finally decided on a few covers from well known authors.
I hope you’ll enjoy this visit to Japan.
Rapture in Death by J.D. Robb #4 in the Death series
Susi: I haven’t read that one yet but I have no idea what the cover should tell me. On what is the violet woman sitting? I have no idea. This cover confuses me- it’s like one of these visual illusion thingies. But I have to say I love how the Japanese title looks but more because of the flow of the symbols. Pretty.

Welcome to this week’s news post, and its been a very drama ridden one for Romancelandia and Blogland and even for everyone at here at Book Lovers Inc.
First up, the genre of Romance took a total battering, (what else is new?) by columnist, Kimberly Sayer-Giles who cites, author Shaunti Fieldhahn, who studies into the differences between men and women. He states this humdinger “In fact, some marriage therapists caution that women can become as dangerously unbalanced by these books”. I think this explains all the drama we been having because of Romance can make us dangerous unbalanced, and that it can be as addictive and just as harmful as pornography. I am not really surprised by this view because some people view romance as a cheap genre and its really porn for women, which full of ignorant …
