Opinion – E’s RT13 Recap

Katie Porter

Kansas City took my virginity, my RT virginity that is (naughty minded people). I was lucky enough to have the 2013 Romantic Times Convention as a local event this year. I have wanted to attend for several years but the day job always interfered. In this case, while I was not able to take vacation [...]

Opinion & Giveaway – Sneaking Mom’s Books

A Rose in Winter

I was on twitter a few weeks ago, which I know really doesn’t surprise any of you, when someone in my tweet stream mentioned being happy that Amazon had rolled out parental controls on the Kindle Fire so she no longer had to worry about her daughter reading her books. I am in no position [...]

New Adult: A New Reading Experience

Rush Me

I’ve been somewhat outspoken against my mostly hate relationship with Young Adult novels. Between the over-the-top angst, the annoying love triangles, and the considerable absence of any kind of parental guidance, I’ve found that the genre just doesn’t usually work for me. So, when I heard about the New Adult genre, I was instantly on [...]

MinnChica’s 2012 Favorite Reads and a Giveaway!

h

We are coming to the close of another year and as I look back at the hundreds of books I’ve read, I’m amazed at just how books I’ve not only read, but loved. I’m either really good at picking books I know will work for me, or I’m just really easy to please, because narrowing [...]

Crying while reading: I’m doing it

I’ve seen posts recently about books that have made us cry, and for the most part, I’ve kept my mouth VERY shut on the subject. Mostly because the past few months my reading experience has been skewed by the fact that I have raging pregnancy hormones. So now that I’ve told the world I’m knocked [...]

Opinion – Book Recommendation Sources

Library Card

Growing up my siblings and I spent our lives in the library, almost literally. The librarians watched us learn how to write our names so we could get a library card and check out books. They watched me in particular, the most addicted, go through the young children’s section and then move on to other [...]

So last weekend I went to the Tucson Festival of Books at the University of Arizona. While I was there I met up with fellow bookpusher MinnChica and one of the recipients of our pushing efforts. We were also able to meet with several authors that have been featured on our blog in the past [...]

Opinion – Expanding My Reading Horizons

Dirty Kiss

I had always considered myself a pretty well-rounded reader when it came to genre fiction, but with my involvement in the on-line reading and writing community I became aware of several subjects that I had never discovered. I happily started digging into most of those but there were still a few niches moving towards mainstream [...]

Team Outcast FTW!

Truckers vs Outcasts

While we, The Book Pushers, might appear mild-mannered unless we are engaged in the business of pushing books but when it comes down to picking sides well lets just say the more badass the better! We introduced Moira Rogers’ Children of the Undying in our New Series Spotlight and we also reviewed Demon Bait the [...]

E’s Top Comfort Re(Reads) of 2011 Part 1

Magic Bites

As I am sure you have noticed the end of the year tends to bring a bunch of lists. Usually these lists involve the Top 10 or so of something. Well I decided I was going to join in that trend but I am doing it with a twist. I have had a rather interesting [...]
