Hi, I’m Bea, the Charmed Lover from Bea’s Ramblings. I’m a new member of the review team here.

I often stay up into the wee hours of the morning and always have some sort of reading material on hand. When not reading or reviewing, I work as …
The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?
Like we decided in our last installment we will now choose our favorite covers in a genre for the next few editions of ”The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?” and tell you why we chose them. It would be awesome if you could tell us which cover in this genre is your favorite and perhaps we will all find some new to us cover candies we can obsess about.
This week we chose Paranormal Romance covers for our fight…ahem..discussion. It’s one of our favorite genres. Who doesn’t like a vampire here and a shifter there? *wink*
Susi’s Choice:
The Geeky Lover: I have to admit when I started to think about PNR cover I was convinced that this post will be a piece …

Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review
Random House has annouced it has a reached an agreement with the Wylie Agency after they had stated they was going to offer their client’s books directly to Amazon. Random House will instead be distributing the books under their own name – whether this agreement has a higher royalty rate remains to be seen but it looks like it is very likely and this might lead to similar deals with other authors and publishers.
Laurell K Hamilton has recently blogged about writing and what it means to her but has commented that…
“Some very successful writers don’t seem to feel that emotional connection to their work, or at least not to the degree I do. I used to envy them until I realized the price of that cool distance. They write like they feel with less depth, …

Bookish Rants or Raves: My Love/Hate Relationship with Blurbs!
I have this sort of ritual whenever I’m going to start reading a new book. I find the book on GoodReads and LibraryThing, read it’s blurb, mark as Currently Reading, add the image to my Blog Sidebar and start reading.
I have this obsession with book blurbs that cannot be healthy. Even during the book reading I tend to check back to the book’s Goodreads page and read and re-read it’s blurb.
The thing is, one of my biggest pet peeves are book blurbs that don’t match the book or have outright lies in them. I cannot stand that, it irritates me to no end and I can’t understand how publishers allow that to happen.
Sometimes it is pretty clear that whoever wrote the blurb did not read the book, and I find that a bit hard to swallow =/

When Henrietta Watson learns that the man she loves plans to marry London’s most beautiful and fashionable debutante, she plots to win him back. She’ll give him some competition by transforming her boring bumpkin neighbor, the Earl of Kesseley, into a rakish gothic hero worthy of this Season’s Diamond.
After years of unrequited love for Henrietta, Kesseley is resigned to go along with her plan and woo himself a willing bride. But once in London, everything changes. Kesseley-long more concerned with his land than his title-discovers that he’s interested in sowing wild oats as well as radishes. And Henrietta realizes that gothic heroes don’t make ideal husbands. Despite an explosive kiss that opens …
