Guest post on Nautical Fiction and mobile view

Inspired by Captain Wentworth's Boating Party, a Persusasion-themed event at vvb32reads, I wrote up a guest post on nautical fiction and my favorite boat-ish books.  I hope you'll stop by and tell me what you think!

Second, I've gone mobile!  (Mobile-view, technically.)  For those of you with smartphones and QR code readers, I present: 
Folks with Blogger blogs can activate mobile view by going to Settings > Email & Mobile and selecting 'Yes' for mobile view.  Smartphone owners can use apps like Google Goggles to read QR codes.

    @Serena -- I just got notification that this was possible only a few days ago, so it's brand new for blogspot. Perhaps WP will follow in a few days? (Or already has it?)

    @Vee -- I know, until I got my Droid phone I had no idea what the QR codes were for -- we just started using them at work and that's the only reason I finally found out!

Alyssa Cole's An Extraordinary Union

...the man was unduly annoyed at her for having the gall to aid her country without virtue of a certain appendage hanging between her thighs.

First, I will confess that a biracial romance set during the Civil War instantly made me nervous, especially since our heroine is under cover as a slave. So much could have gone wrong, and the reason I trusted it wouldn't was because of Cole.

Second, all my anxieties were for naught: this book was freakin' awesome.

Historical Fiction and Read Harder challenges

Ellen, a former slave, has returned to the South and a life of servitude in service of Pres. Abraham and freedom. A spy with Pinkerton's group, she's been placed in the household of a high level Confederate, using her wits and eidetic memory to aid the Union.

Wordless Wednesday, Jan 23

My Wordless Wednesday offering for this week: my newest read, Alyssa Cole's An Extraordinary Union, which I've wanted to read for forever and it ticks one of the boxes for this year's Read Harder challenge. Woot!

Survived my first super snowy weekend in our new place, and I'm enjoying rural-y snowy views rather than my usual quickly-muddy urban slushy ones.

Weekend reads and glutting myself...

I've been on a serious romance novel binge the last week (clocking in seven romances so far!) and I'm not sure it's abating as I'm rereading Lauren Layne's Walk of Shame (bubbly, charming debutante and prickly, grumpy divorce lawyer, mmmmm).

I have started Leonie Swann's Three Bags Full, which is a book club read AND ticks one of my reading challenge requirements. It's a cozy-ish murder mystery narrated by sheep. I'm loving it so far.
