Despite being horrific at returning books in a timely fashion, my library continues to loan ’em out to me. Yesterday, one of my books on hold came in: Can’t wait to start browsing… If it’s as good as the title suggests, I’ll add it to my keeper shelf of historical reference books! (By *buying* it,…
Okay, okay, I’m not really a Tairen Soul. It would be wicked cool if I was, though! I’m halfway through my friend C. L. Wilson‘s series (because only 2 of 4 have hit the shelves) and firmly in love with the hero’s right hand man Bel. (If you also love him, back off. He’s mine.)I…
We all can (probably) agree that there’s such a thing as a story being ruined by gross inaccuracies due to poor research. But it there such a thing as too much accuracy? I’ve been thinking about this ever since I read Brenda Coulter’s post on Regency titles over at Romancing the blog. It’s a pretty…
