My guilty secret pleasure, Nora Roberts. Great read for a summer car trip with a chatty baby and husband (not much brain power required). The mystery was cliche, but always enjoy the her characters.

Chapter 3 finds Yorrick, 355, and the Doctor clashing with some Israeli soldiers and finding out there may actually be a few more men...in the universe. Laugh out loud funny and vibrant color illustrations make this a true reading pleasure.

I had a feeling the title "Safeword" would be taken literally, and I was not wrong. Poor Yorick, more misadventures and they still aren't in LA. More laugh out loud moments, great art work (especially the expressions), and awesome dialog. Why the hell isn't this a TV show?

Is the weird magic shop engagement ring Yorick purchased for his girlfriend Beth the reason why he and Ampersand survived the plauge killing all the other Y chromosome's out there? This next adventure pits Yorick and crew against another bunch of crazy women. Continuosly snappy dialogue and colorful action sequences puts this graphic novel series on top.

Enjoyable about one engagement ring and its impact on four different characters living in four different eras. Sullivan was inspired to write this book after learning about the woman who coined "A Diamond is Forever" for Debeers in the middle of the 20th century, a time when men dominated advertizing. Sullivan did a great job keeping you guessing about how each of the tales would intertwine, but I did find myself a bit bored with some of the characters after awhile. A little too much background and not enough action. Light summer read with not too many lessons learned by any of the characters.

Light, frothy YA historical romance that tries to be like Jane Austen but lacks her depth.

Althea Crawley needs to marry a rich man to ensure her family's castle and legacy remains secure. While it is refereshing to see a charachter who is self-aware and a bit self-deprecating (consigned to her lot in life) I never truly found a reason to really like her or root for her. The main love interests are not really fleshed out and what is a lame attempt to pull off a relationship akin to Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth falls flat. Of course everything ties up with a perfect ending. Not for me.
