Om mig Co-founder: Aboard the Jolly Roger! (seriously, you should check it out, there's not nearly enough chatting happening over there :( )

I read absolutely voraciously and have since I was about 4. Now in an effort to make sure I don't read the same mediocre books over and over again because I don't remember I read them, or why I didn't like them, I'm reviewing as I go. Hopefully at some point I'll have reviewed everything in my library. Well... I can dream, can't I?

I'm always up for recommendations in romance, pirates, general swashbuckling, knights, etc. And I'll read and review things upon request provided it is already in my library. Just ask away. Be warned, though, my books are scattered across the country, so it may need to wait until it can be shipped or I can get to it next.

Om mit bibliotek I devour books. Books of most any kind, really, although I'm not a real fan of non-fiction stuff. The big idea behind my reading is for brain candy first and edification if it happens to be a good read.

There seems to be a dearth of good romance collections with actual reviews out there. I find this sad, and I am seeking to change this. (In case you couldn't tell). Let me know of your favorites, or if you see something you'd like a review on.

I'm so glad you enjoyed my article about Boudica. I loved writing it!

People seem to enjoy Manda Scott's Boudica quartet, which starts with Boudica's childhood in Dreaming the Eagle. I found myself impatient for her to grow up and I haven't finished it, but I keep meaning to go back and persevere until the character reaches a more interesting age. Scott's portrayal of Celtic culture (which dips into fantasy here and there - legitimately, I think, because the Celts were pretty mystical in their attitudes about life) shows she's done good research, and the characters are fairly well developed. For a list of all four, see my website at www.HistoricalNovels.info. This series probably represents the best of the Boudica fiction.

Mike Ripley's begun a mystery series featuring Boudica (Boudica and the Lost Roman), which I haven't read, but it looks tempting.

Hi there!

I came across a list of pirate romances on Ebay and thought I'd share them with you. Most of them seem a little old. I haven't read any of these so I can't tell you what the swashbuckling quotient is.

Linda Lang Bartell - Tender Scoundrel
Virginia Brown - Capture the Wind
Debra Falcon - Angel's Sin
Lynna Lawton - Under Crimson Sails
Jane Lynnford - Pirate's Rose
Teresa Medeiros - Thief of Hearts
Fern Michaels - Captive Embraces, Captive Secrets
Laura Renken - My Lord Pirate

And the classic, Laura London's The Windflower

And in my own library I have tagged a few:

Marsha Canham - Across a Moonlit Sea
Gaelen Foley - The Pirate Prince
Sabrina Jeffries - The Pirate Lord
Edith Layton - For the Love of a Pirate
Johanna Lindsey - Gentle Rogue

OK, nevermind on figuring out how to add favorite authors. A friend just helped me come up with the solution. Thanks anyway!

Thanks for the tip on how to give half-stars! Got any tips on how to add Favorite Authors to my profile? The "instructions" aren't very...instructive. :}

I was going to write a review of The Coffin Quilt by Ann Rinaldi but your review said everything I would have. You write excellent reviews!

Thanks for the tip about my March review. Just as I noticed the italics were wonky, LT went down. Since I'm at work it was a few hours before I could come back to fix it. I appreciate the reminder!

Oh dear, I have egg on my face. You were absolutely correct that I had omitted Grange's Mr. Darcy's Diary and the Stephanie Barron Jane Austen mysteries (which look really delightful - oh, how my TBR list is growing!) from my Historical Novels website. They are up now, though! Thanks so much, Caramel, for your persistence in pointing out the omission.

I just saw a comment you made a couple months back about intentionally taking romances with 'bodice-ripper' covers onto the Metro, in protest over a misguided ad campaign which suggested that romance-readers are dolts...

Your post really made me laugh! I'm just finishing PhD studies in Comparative Literature, but also have an addiction to romance novels featuring sultans and sheiks. It started as a joke, but soon I was hooked. Some are funny, some romantic, and some just plain piss me off with their stereotypes. But also sometimes, FYI, the heroes of such stories are pirates! (For instance, in novels featuring lovely ladies kidnapped off the Barbary Coast to be sold into harem bondage... like the 1978 title "Barbary Bride" by Melissa Masters, which I'm reading currently.) So I thought I'd mention this to you.

Anyway. Read on, without shame! :-)

PS: I just started my first LT group dedicated to sheiky romances. Is there one for pirates yet...? Hah! Best wishes.

Thanks! I just recently ran across Marjorie M. Liu via someone else's review of Tiger Eye and once I read that one I couldn't wait to try the next one.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm very flattered that anyone would enjoy my reviews enough to add me to their "interesting libraries" list!

Thanks for the feedback on my Historical Novels website. Because there are so many Jane Austen-themed novels, I grouped them in their own section in the 19th century Europe page (click on "Jane-Austen-inspired genre" to jump to that section). I believe both of the novels you mentioned are listed. I've noticed that visitors sometimes miss books because they are looking in a different section on the same page, and I'm thinking about how best to revise the introductory text so the groupings are clearer. I like your idea about setting series novels apart in some way, and will have to think about the best way to do this, too. In the Napoleonic section, it's possible to jump directly to the first book in some of the longer series, but that doesn't make navigation any easier for people who are trying to scroll down to the next author in the listing.

Being a fellow pirate and swashbuckling fan, I would like to second the Sabatini books.

Thank you so much for your comment!! That made me feel so good, to read that you found my review helpful! I am actually going to take my spoiler out of the review-- thank you for pointing that out to me!

I am working on a few more reviews so there are definitely more to come. Thank you again for your kind feedback!! :)

Warmly,

Just seen your photo of Hortario on the page! My son will be dead impressed - he loves Hornblower, in fact he loves anything with blood and guts - typical 8 year old I guess. He's about to start on the Lord of the Rings Trilogy as he's decided he's old enough and needs something after Potter.

I think the strings of numbers you mean must be the key stages I use - I'm a teacher librarian in schools using the UK system. K in kindy, R reception then 1 is age 5 - 7, 2: 8 - 11, 3: 11 - 14, 4: 15 - 18 then I made up 5 for adult books. I'm a bit confused about comments as they never seem to relate to specific books where do I see which book people are commenting about do you know?

I just read your review of The Golden Compass. I thought you gave a great synopsis of the book. I was amazed that you disliked Lyra so much. You are perfectly free to have your own opinion, of course, but it just surprised me. Lyra was one of the main reasons that I loved that trilogy so much: she is so passionate and fiercely loyal to her friends. Will's entrance in the second book became another reason to love the trilogy: he too is determined and loyal. I found all three books very engaging because I could tell that the author was weaving in a message about God, organized religion, power, creativity, individuality, and other big ideas. I love books that make me think! Anyway, nice job with the review.

Hi, and thanks for the movie recommendation (R & G are Dead). I wasn't aware of it or had forgotten.

I must admit my review was copied from what I wrote in my 50 Book Challenge, and right now I have exactly no clue what Tallie's Knight was about...but I thought it was good at the time, so...
I generally buy romances from yard sales or library sales, so I'll just keep an eye out for The Perfect Rake. Hope I find it - and thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks. I have to admit I had an ulterior motive for writing a review of Ophelia -- the author is a friend of mine. I'm a bit too lazy to write reviews without a motive.

Hello!

I found you via your wonderfully scathing review of Eragon and thought I'd browse your library.

Seeing as you're up for swashbuckler suggestions, I'd recommend Rafael Sabatini. I've read three of his novels -- Scaramouche, Captain Blood, and The Sea-Hawk -- the latter two of which definitely fit the description of a "swashbuckler."

Take care and be well!

-- Lori :)
