Book Log #52: Fatal Affair, by Marie Force
My rating: 3 of 5 stars Fatal Affair, a Carina Press release by Marie Force, promises to be the first of a series involving the same romantic couple. I must give Ms. Force points for this, as I quite like to see a series develop the relationship between an established pair–J.D. Robb of course comes…

Recently listened-to new music
I have continued to work through my Not Recently Played playlist, in my ongoing quest to play everything in my musical collection at least once this year.

Book Log #51: On Her Trail, by Marcelle Dubé
My rating: 3 of 5 stars I won On Her Trail by Marcelle Dubé as part of Carina Press’ launch promotion, which rather tickled me since it was one of their initial releases I’d scoped out and put onto my buy list. Woo, free book! If you look at the blurb for this thing, you…

Book Log #49: The Mermaid’s Madness, by Jim C. Hines
If you’re anything at all like me, you probably can’t hear the words “the Little Mermaid” without immediately having a cartoon crab start singing “Under the Sea” in your head. But then again, if you’re anything at all like me, you’ll also probably find Jim Hines’ The Mermaid’s Madness a strong cure for that particular…
