Believe it or not, just like last week's topic of circus, this was one I had been planning to do whether...

Bookish Musings: Is 15 Years Old Too Young to Be Reading 50 Shades of Grey?

It's time to talk about sex! Ok, ok, I'm not actually going to talk about sex per se, rather sex in books and whether it's appropriate for young readers. However, since there will be talk about sex in this post, consider this your warning if that makes you uncomfortable.

Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring Alcoholic Beverages

Cover Characteristics: Book Covers featuring Alcoholic Beverages

I feel like urban fantasy and alcoholic beverages make an oddly good combination in books, or at least on book covers.

And now, since I don't have anything more to say about alcohol, I'm just going to get on with the...
