I didn't find the back blurb for this one but found this from PW: The first in a projected trilogy about the lives of three Irish sisters, Born in Fire gets the series off to a fine start, telling the story of talented glass-artist Maggie Concannon's contentious relationship with Dublin gallery owner Rogan Sweeney. Country-dwelling Maggie is otherworldly, prickly and outspoken, while Rogan is

You would never say something out of anger or in poor taste. This may lead some (like, perhaps, your saucy little sister) to accuse you of being cold. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Harry Potter is an ordinary boy who lives in a cupboard under the stairs at his Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's house, which he thinks is normal for someone like him who's parents have been killed in a 'car crash'. He is bullied by them and his fat, spoilt cousin Dudley, and lives a very unremarkable life with only the odd hiccup (like his hair growing back overnight!) to cause him much to think

"The "London Season" in Regency England was a time when marriages were made and lives changed. The Marquis of Rayleigh thought it was time to tame his headstrong young charge, Lady Jane; for young Lord Audley it was time to snare the unwilling girl; for David Chance, Jane's friend and horse trainer, the last time he would be able to ride with her. But for Lady Jane, it was a time to be herself

Just saw this over at Marg's blog, who got it from 5 Minutes For Books and I thought it was a fun idea to do a monthly post! The guidelines were: 1 - Take a picture or simply give a list of the stack of books that you are in the process of reading or planning to read (it might be on your nightstand, on a bookshelf, or like me, under your bed). 2 - Give short reviews of the book or books that

So I finished watching season 3 and there's no news of a season 4. I say that's badly done, very badly done! I want to know what's going to happen between Logan and Veronica. I know, I know the series is much more than that but really I'm a romantic at heart and my main interest is L. and V! How could they have left us hanging like this?
