I just won Christine Wells’s The Dangerous Duke from The Royal Reviews.

It’s a period romance. I love history and I am still in the midst of trying out the romance genre. According to reviews, it’s supposed to be quite the suspense novel with tons of the steamy stuff mixed in. We’ll see! I am still waiting for that one romance novel that will redeem the genre for me. Maybe this will be the one.

I just won a book from Tara’s View on Books called This One Is Mine by Maria Semple.

It’s about a woman who doesn’t find the family lifestyle too appealing once she has hit the point of no return and ends up having an affair with a struggling musician. Also staring is her husband’s sister, who wants nothing more than to marry a rich man. It sounds superficial and selfish on the surface, which is what I think it’s all about. I don’t think we’re meant to look at these people in envy, but shake our heads at their antics and watch as whatever mess they make unfolds.

Will review!
