Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
When I read a book I absolutely love, I find myself comparing it to some of my favorite foods. In the case of Secretary to the Socialite, it is most definitely caramel. You know that soft, creamy, dreamy stuff that tastes so good, you end up letting it slowly dissolve in your mouth instead of chewing... Continue Reading →
Oh my. Oh my goodness. Thank heaven there were no Jedi around to tell me, "This is not the book you're looking for, move along," when I realized this story was written in first person. Except it wasn't. Town of Shadows was the book I didn't know I was looking for. Thank goodness. Without boring... Continue Reading →
Oh, how I love Jaclyn Reding's work! Everything I have read by her has been thoroughly engrossing, and Chasing Dreams is no exception. With well-crafted characters, twists, and turns, Cassia and Rolfe's story kept my attention from start to finish. I just couldn't put it down! The second in a two-book series (Merry Monarchs), it...

Many years ago, when I worked in a bookstore, I staunchly defended Romance books by pointing out specific titles and authors. If I still worked in a bookstore, The Avenging Angel and the Spy and its predecessor, The Rebellious Lady and the Phantom Lord, would be right at the top of my recommendation list! They...

How have I never read Jeff Wheeler's work before? I'm hooked! Queen Mother is artfully written. It pulled me in and kept me there until the very last page was turned. It left me wanting more, and that is a rarity for me! With complex characters, vivid world-creating, and terrifying monsters, this will surely become... Continue Reading →
Oh, this was a heart-wrenching page-turner if ever I read one! It took mere moments before I was thoroughly engrossed within the pages of The Rebellious Lady and the Phantom Lord. At one point, I was so caught up in Pheadra's story that if it wasn't for my tummy grumbling for dinner, I had little... Continue Reading →
Let me start this by saying the Llama is technically adept. Over the years (read that as decades, but don't say it out loud around me, please), I have prided myself on putting all manner of things together. I have, in one phase of my life, tested software. I play all sorts of games, from... Continue Reading →
A book to get lost in, you say? Why yes! Laird of Sighs snuck into the corners of my mind and begged to be picked up instead of folding the laundry. I'll admit it: I let the story carry me away, and the laundry stayed in the dryer for a wee bit longer than it... Continue Reading →
I fell in love with Ms McCabe's writing in the first book of this series, Flora Flowerdew and Mystery of the Duke's Diamonds. So, of course, I absolutely had to read Flora Flowerdew and the Mystery of the Purloined Papers as soon as I could get my hands on it. I loved the second book... Continue Reading →
I didn't feel like writing yesterday. It was my last full day home alone before my husband returned from a business trip on the other side of the earth. Yesterday, the Llama rested, and it was wonderful. The reset may not have gone as initially planned, though. I think it went better. It was more... Continue Reading →
