What We're Reading

Right now I am working on Jo Beverly's Lady Beware: A Novel of the Company of Rogues (Signet Historical Romance) (which my Mom has already read) and she is working on The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheever (Avon Historical Romance) by Julia Quinn (which I've already finished). Once we're both done we'll decide which one we'll discuss during next week's podcast. So tune in next Thursday to find out which one we choose.

Happy reading...

Our First Podcast - Nora Roberts' Angels' Fall

Wow, we did it. Our inaugural podcast is up. You can hear it here, or you can subscribe by clicking on the subscribe button on the right or you can just listen to it right here and now by clicking on "Inaugural Podcast" to the right.

We did this first one as kind of a book club discussion, which means that we discussed the book as if the listeners would have read the book as well. Given the popularity of the author, that seems like a safe assumption, but listener beware. This podcast contains SPOILERS. We may keep this format or we may incorporate a more traditional book review format where we keep the secrets of the book.

I have to say it was fun and we learned a lot; namely that we need to prepare better. We got through the whole thing and realized that we'd barely touched on the central romance and didn't even mention the sex scenes (oh, the horror). Nevertheless, we think its worth listening to and we hope to take what we learned and make our future episodes better.

Enjoy!

Here we go...

So, me and my Mom are going to give this blog/podcast thing a try. We are hoping to have our first podcast posted in the next few days. That will give you an introduction to us and what we hope to cover on the blog and in our podcasts. And away we go...
