Book Blurb:Georgina Kincaid has formidable powers. Immortality, seduction, shape-shifting into any human form she desires, walking in heels that would cripple mere mortals—all child’s play to a succubus like her.
Helping to plan her ex-boyfriend’s wedding is a different story. Georgina isn’t sure which is worse—that Seth is marrying another woman, or that Georgina has to run all over Seattle trying on bridesmaid dresses. Still, there are distractions. Georgina’s roommate, Roman, is cluttering her apartment with sexual tension. Then there’s Simone, the new succubus in town, who’s intent on corrupting Seth.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, she’s started having dreams shadowy, dangerous but alluring dreams, dreams that don’t want to let …
Bookish Rants or Raves: The Price of Our Addiction
Amazing to think how much us, book lovers in general, spend on books on a regular basis. We book bloggers do receive some books for review and its a great way to get to know new and established authors. However, if you are as addicted as I am in series, there are too many of them that you follow and unless you have contacts and/or live in the US, you rarely get a chance to receive the newest installments of the series you love so much.
Besides, we bookaholics can’t stand to not look around a bookstore and/or an online bookstore and buy some books that just catch out eyes.
I’ve lived in two different countries and neither of them is an English speaking country. I have to make do with really small areas in the local bookstores that have books in …

All YA Love: Interview with Y.S. Lee
Today I am honored to share an interview with Y.S. Lee. I recently had the pleasure of reading her debut A Spy In The House (The Agency #1) and loved this unique spin on the Victorian era.Can you tell us about the book?Spy is a novel about keeping secrets, uncovering truths, scheming women, and the Great Stink of 1858 (a disgusting heat wave that paralyzed the city of London). It’s also a zippy adventure and a lighthearted joke about mystery novels. It contains not a single vampire.
My favorite scene took place in the carriage as Mary & James talk marriage & sonnet sequences, I’m smiling just thinking about it. What was your favorite scene to write?I could write dialogue between Mary and James all day. I ended up pruning quite a lot of it because if I’d left it all in, the book …

Geekdom of Books: Happy Easter!
Happy Easter everyone!
This week I found something really geeky and amusing which totally deserves a post of it’s own. Luckily it fits at least a bit to Eastern so I could come up with a reason to post it:
The Nabaztag.
It’s these super cute bunny on the left and it can entertain you endlessly or so they say.
What can it do?
It connects via wifi to the wonderful world of the internet and is able to
– tell you what the weather will be like (yes this rabbit can speak LOL)
– read your RSS reader for you (that sounds just fantastic to me)
– inform you about new emails or txt messages
– it can move it’s ears matching to the music it plays with the fitting light show included
and the list goes on and on….it’s a learning little robot with always updating features.
