seriously romantic: becoming bella by sarah hegger

everybody loves bella erickson in her small town of ghost falls. everyone knows her. and everyone knows that she's been in love with town sheriff nate evans since they were little kids. they also know that it's a hopeless kind of love, because nate is not one to get himself tied up with anyone.

in becoming bella, she decides it's past time to take control of her life. she wants to be with someone who wants her back. she wants to stop being the town good girl and not be bad, but not be so predictable. she's got a list of 10 things to do if you're single during the holidays and she's going to follow it and see if her life changes. because she's tired of it being the same day in and day out. she's unhappy and needs something to change.

she just didn't count on a stalker. she thought the guy was intense and maybe just came on a little strong, but when things escalate to vandalism and threats of violence nate finds himself unable to step back. this is bella. the girl he's avoided his whole life, because if he's honest she's the only one who could tie him down.

as in most small town romances, we spend a lot of time with the people of ghost falls. bella and nate are integral members of the town and they've known each other forever, so the story focuses less on building their relationship and more on changing it. but this means that they end up spending a lot of time apart. which is fine and makes sense, but a part of me prefers to see our lead couple together more than spending the novel getting their heads screwed on right alone or with other characters.

i like the town of ghost falls. and the people who inhabit it. if you are looking for small town romance with a sweet couple and a hint of suspense, you can't go wrong here.

**becoming bella will publish on september 26, 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/kensington books (zebra) in exchange for my honest review.

simply catching up on all things general hospital

hmmm, it's been months since i've blogged about gh . partly this is due to the fact that i fell behind while i was traveling. partly because all the outrage lapsed into disinterest when i realized i couldn't bring myself to care anymore and everything that was happening was just so trite and boring. some days i still feel that way. and there are still whole storylines that i either hate or just fast forward through. but there are some good things too. in no particular order, here are my thoughts on the goings-on in port charles: 1. soras [and why re-casting roles works on soaps even if you do miss the original actors]: the new, older versions of sonny's kids are turning out to be quite enjoyable. [although hilariously, cameron whom i believe is older than molly is now younger. and because cameron is so cute, i'm kind of hoping they won't fix that. we also haven't seen spencer in ages, so he may be approaching 50.] in any case, at this point we've only s

genre debate: urban fantasy versus epic fantasy: team epic gets their say

Team Epic: Why I Love Epic Fantasy! Since it's my blog, I'll go first: Epic fantasies take you on quests that take you beyond the limits of what is real. The rules can be different, they are different, and everything just matters more. It's not just one life at stake, it's lives, it's a whole world, a whole way of being.

Epic fantasy lets us push humanity well past the breaking point with ever
