Things I Read This Week.

  It's no big secret that I love to read.  In fact I read everyday, even if it's just Celebrity Gossip (delightfully trashy) or comics on the internet (which happens when I'm too lazy/broke to go get more books).  I also read fairly fast; I can easily read a 300 page book in a day.  It's just a thing I do. However, it is the straight up/sad truth that I read a lot of fluff and crap.  Today's review does not fail in this category.  Here is what I've read this week.

 Two Gothic Romances by Dorothy Eden, and the first of another Trilogy by the Very Popular and Very Easy to Read Mercedes Lackey.
  I discovered many years ago my fondness for what is known as "New Gothic Romance" which is humorous because there's nothing new about a fiction novel from the 60s.  But I love these things.  Touches of paranormal, suspicious characters, romantic themes! and mysterious settings. Oo la la!  The sad part is I think it's basically a dieing breed of novel at this point, having been pushed aside for it's more modern counterparts of paranormal romance.  You know what I'm talking about Laurel K. Hamilton and Charlaine Harris!  I can only find these things at used book stores or the bottom back shelf of libraries. It's almost like a dirty little secret. heh heh. But enough blathering, more about the reviews/overviews.
