Happy Banned Book Week!

2010-09-29T12:46:00.000-07:00

It's that time of year again. It never surprises us that there are those who feel so strongly against a literary work that they would want to purge it from the face of the earth. Banning books makes no sense. Sure, there are books that offend readers on social, religious or even personal levels. Yes there are even poorly written tomes that make reading a chore instead of a joy.

Banned Books Week encourages us to spread the word about this issue and take a stand for freedom of speech and information. You can check out commonly banned books and see for yourself what ideas within those books were considered so shocking to others. The ALA sponsors Banned Books Week and has a lot of great resources.

Dishing with the Divas - Loyalty

2010-04-13T07:15:00.001-07:00

As Divas, we wanted to let the board know that we are more than just pretty faces with tiaras. We all know, there’s nothing more beautiful than smart women, and we know the board is full of them. We actually talk quite a bit about books and our role on the board. A lot of our discussions start with a specific topic and grow into broader topics about the industry, about writers, about themes and plots. Therefore, we thought we would start a feature where we moved our discussions to the board. The board is full of brilliant thoughts. So, periodically, if this is successful, we want to post a topic unrelated to specific books and get your feel on things. You can see past topics here.

Anyway, we all have auto buy or favorite authors. The topic is how loyal are you? What makes an author an auto buy for you? Are there any deal breakers or what is something an author can do to make you think twice or bump them down from your auto buy list or off your reading list all together? Do you trust an author to make you read something you wouldn't normally read in terms of topics or plot devices or trust an author to try something new to spread his/her creative wings and, if so, to what extent? If a favorite author changes styles, do you adapt or how long does it take you to stray? Do you break up with an author at once or do you just drift apart over time?

Hero Appreciation - The Men of SEP

2010-01-20T08:24:00.000-08:00

The Discussion Divas took a nice long vacation over Christmas so we could spend time with family and make some plans for the JMBB this year. Not to mention map out all the spas we want to visit in 2010. A Diva needs to look and feel her best, you know.

While we were relaxing the Red Door spa in Chicago last weekend, talk turned to wondering what our men were doing - watching football. You can't mention football in Chicago without thinking of the famous Chicago Stars. And when you spend time thinking about the Stars, you think about Susan Elizabeth Phillips and all her great heroes.

Today we want to appreciate the men of SEP! Tell us your favorite hero and what makes him make you tick. Is it because he's got a talent for sports? Because he had a penchant for exotic pastimes? Because he won't stop for anything to reach his dream? Or because he's overcoming a broken heart? Why do the men of SEP keep you coming back for more?

We'll be waiting for you at the spa.

Hero Appreciation - Regency Heroes

2010-01-04T08:43:00.000-08:00

When we think of winter, for some reason we think of Regency heroes. Maybe it's because Nicholas Du Ville's story takes place at Christmas. Or because during Christmas we think of balls and masques and then we think of our favorite JM heroes and that flows over to Regency heroes in general. Honestly, who wouldn't want to be caught with a Regency hero under the mistletoe?

When we Divas were discussing our favorite Regency heroes, Ian Thornton immediately came to mind. And not just because Naomi waxes on and on about him. LOL! Jordan Townsend has it going on, as we all know. Clayton and Stephen Westmoreland get their fair share of love as well. Jason Fielding and Nicholas Du Ville are never far from our thoughts.

Then discussion turns to other Regency era:
Simon Basset from JQ's The Duke & I
Anthony Mallory from Johanna Lindey's Tender Rebel
Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy from Jane Austin's Pride & Prejudice
Thomas Blackwood from Adele Ashworth's Winter Garden

The Discussion Divas are curious, who are your favorite Regency heroes?

Hero Appreciation - Small Town, Big Heroes

2009-12-09T13:52:00.000-08:00

There are many wonderful heroes who hail from small towns and communities. They are usually down to earth men who love the community, or men returning to their roots after spending time in the big city. They could also be those elusive heroes who are reclusive and value their privacy. This doesn't make them any less a hero. Small towns have their unique flavors and living in a close community can offer some interesting challenges. Especially if a hero wants to keep his romance private. Prying eyes and all that.

One this cold winter day, we want to know who your favorite small town heroes are. We'll share some of ours to get you started.

Thomas Blackwood from Adele Ashworth's Winter Garden
Richard Lennox from Jill Barnett's Dreaming
Gabe Bonner from Susan Elizabeth Phillips' Dream a Little Dream
Dylan Tabor from Rachel Gibson's True Confessions
Cam, Ethan & Phillip Quinn from Nora Robert's Chesapeake Bay trilogy

Who are your favorite small town heroes?

Hero Appreciation - Nora's Heroes

2009-12-02T13:54:00.000-08:00

Nora Roberts is a romance writing machine! She has written so many great heroes in her 20+ years as a writer and it's very likely that most of you on the JMBB have read at least one of Nora's books.

As we get ready for the holiday season and start trimming the tree at Diva Central, we want to know who your favorite Nora Roberts heroes are. Which hero makes you shiver with delight or laugh with joy? Which hero touches your heart? Ignites your desire? The Divas are dying with curiosity.

Book Recommendations - Thanksgiving Words Edition

2009-11-19T07:44:00.000-08:00

We know, the subject is a little confusing. Bear with us.

We get a lot of great recommendations from this bulletin board and, though we will continue with traditional book recommendation posts, it's fun to think outside of the box.

Being inspired by this (American) Thanksgiving holiday, can you recommend books that begin with each letter of the word, Thanksgiving?

This diva will admit that, for the example, she was very lazy and most of the books are by certain authors. You may be more or less creative for your post.

For instance:

This Heart of Mine by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Holiday Brides by Jewel Amethyst, Stefanie Worth, Farrah Rochon
Almost Heaven by Judith McNaught
Not Another New Year's by Christie Ridgway
Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Someone to Watch Over Me by Judith McNaught
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
Ice by Linda Howard
Visions of Sugarplums by Janet Evanovich
It Had to Be You by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Never Marry a Stranger by Gayle Callen
Guardian by Claire Delacroix

Have fun with it!

Hero Appreciation - Thanksgiving

2009-11-19T07:23:00.000-08:00

As we get close to the American Thanksgiving holiday, we were thinking about all the wonderful things we have to be thankful for. Family. Friends. Health. Books. Shoes. Community. We are well and truly blessed.

And speaking of books, because when do the Divas not talk about books, we are extra thankful for all the fictional men who have been brought to life on the page of our favorite books. Men like the Divas' husbands - Ian Thornton, Ted Mathison, Henri DuVille, the Duke of Hammund, Doug Hayward. Well, any man written by Judith is a man we are definitely thankful for. In fact, there are so many fictional heroes out there that we Divas are thankful for it would take days just to name them all!

We know it must be the same way with you. There are heroes who make you truly thankful that you read their story. Heroes you revisit when you need to connect with an old fictional friend. Heroes who rev you up and heroes who bring you down softly. Heroes, how if they had never been written would leave a hole in you life.

Tell us, which fictional heroes are you thankful for.

2009-11-19T07:01:00.000-08:00

The Discussion Divas were bundling up in the latest fall fashions, strolling through Central Park in NYC when discussion turned, as it inevitably does, to books. Specifically books set in New York. The city is the perfect backdrop for a great story with all that energy and history. April had just picked up JD Robb's newest In Death book and as we took another turn around the park, she exclaimed that we should try to find Roarke's home.

That had us all discussing In Death and the men who make the books memorable and entertaining. First to jump to mind is Roarke, that enigmatic badboy Irishman who is richer than God and can cause lust in zero to sixty with smoldering glance from that fallen angel face. Then there's McNab - sassy and snappy with a quick comeback and the arrogance only the young can carry off. Leonardo, a gentle giant who understands what it takes to make a woman not only look but feel beautiful. The men of the In Death world are amazing, aren't they?

For you who love JD Robb's In Death series, join us in our appreciation of these out of this world men. And here's a link to a list of the men, just in case you've forgotten them all.

Hero Appreciation - He's a Bad, Bad Boy

2009-11-05T10:13:00.000-08:00

What is it about a bad boy that draws us in? Why does his devil-may-care attitude send shivers up our spine and put an extra sway in our step? They can tempt us with a come hither flip of their head or have us begging for their attention with their perfect sneer. And make us believe that love can truly conquer all and save our bad boy from himself. Oh, the world loves a bad boy.

He could be a leather wearing, motorcycle riding, in trouble with the law since the day he was born bad boy. Or maybe he's a chip on his shoulder, trying to outrun a devastating childhood, "I'm bad because I don't want anyone to get close to me" bad boy. He could even be a man who flips the bird at convention and discovers that a life of crime almost fills that hole in his soul - almost. That's the great thing about a bad boy, there's more than enough to go around.

So, who is your favorite bad boy? Whose dark looks, sexy swagger and reckless attitude beckon you? The Discussion Divas want to know.

Hero Appreciation - Halloween Festivities

2009-11-03T13:45:00.000-08:00

The Discussion Divas donned their costumes and headed to Montmayne for their annual Halloween Masque. As a special treat for the JMBB, they rounded up all the heroes of the DNs' favorite books and had them dress as their characters - not an easy feat when the Scottish heroes wanted to wear more than just kilts and the shape shifters wanted to come in their animal forms.

The food was laid out, the bar stocked with enough alcohol to sink the Titanic and the doors were opened to all the DNs to join us for the fun.

Each hero has a dance card, ladies. Sign up for a dance, or two, with your favorite romance heroes. Costumes are highly recommended, so please come dressed up and share with us who - or what - you are.

Hero Appreciation - Family Man

2009-10-22T12:40:00.000-07:00

We love a man who loves his family. Even if it takes a little while to find that family. Or to discover that he has what it takes to love and be loved by them.

There's something sexy about that man who can hold his newborn with such love in his face that you know he is going to be the best father he can be. Or the man who looks at his wife with adoration and doesn't care if the entire world knows that he loves this woman to distraction. Yes, that man is definitely a hero worth appreciating.

We Divas were talking and there are so many men like that in Judith's books, but one who stood out to us was the incomparable Cole Harrison from Remember When. Here is a man who, even though he married Diana initially as a business deal, loved and loved unconditionally the woman in his arms, her family and the family they would be making together. He loved so much, he was willing to let it all go to save them from further scandal. Silly on his part, but when we look at it from his perspective, the ultimate sacrifice of love.

So here's to Cole Harrison, a non-traditional family man who loves and loves well. And to all the other amazing family men out there!

Let's appreciate them all, starting with Cole. What makes him a sexy family man? Who else tops your list and why?

Hero Appreciation - Ride 'em Cowboy!

2009-10-08T13:28:00.000-07:00

There's something about a man astride his trusty stead, moving as though one across the plains. Or along mountain trails. It's enough to make a woman wish she could...ride.

Yes, a man with a Stetson and well worn Levi's that fit his form like a glove can conjure up a whole host of fantasies for a woman who likes a little romance in her life. We Discussion Divas agree. There is something sexy about a cowboy. When we did a search on romance novels about cowboys and ranchers, we were thrilled at the authors who have written about these wild men of the west: Linda Lael Miller, Susan Kay Law, Catherine Anderson, Sandra Brown, Sandra Hill, Diana Palmer, Julie Garwood, B.J. Daniels, Susan Mallery, Brenda Jackson, Nora Roberts, Marilyn Pappano, Rebbecca Wade, Kathleen Eagle...just to name a few! And the men they write about are definitely hero quality. Rugged, determined, kind, faithful, powerful, have great endurance, loyal. Yeah, there's sometime about a cowboy, baby.

So, ladies, who are your favorite cowboys? Who makes you think of long western nights and slow rides? Come one, you know you're thinking of someone now.

AAR Discussion on "Overweight" Characters

2009-10-01T13:44:00.000-07:00

AAR has a blog on "overweight" characters. I use quotation marks because everyone has different opinions on what qualifies as overweight. As we're all friends here, I thought I'd open the subject up versus judging the comments of people I do not know.

We understand that romance novels are an escape for most if not all. So, it's not to say we wouldn't fall for or love a hero who has a little extra to love. However, we usually have higher standards for our heroes. That said, do you have physical standards for your heroines? There are many examples of heroines who are discribed as overweight though, in reality, they are probably "normal" size. Does this turn you off or appeal to you or are you indifferent? Does a hero or heroine's appearance make a difference when you read a book?

Just food for thought.

Hero Appreciation - Comfort Reads

2009-09-30T10:55:00.000-07:00

The weather is turning quickly to fall and the Divas started talking about fall fashions, the new TV season and comfort books. There is something about the weather turning nippy, the days shortening and the scents and colors of fall that turn our minds to those well read books that make us smile. Those books we return to time and again because we consider the characters good friends and spending time with them makes us happy.

This week we are appreciating the heroes of our own tattered books, the men whose stories we turn to when we want to smile, or feel content. They may be dynamic. They may be steadfast. But if we return to them time and again, they are true heroes.

Who are the heroes from your comfort reads? What is it about those heroes or books that have you returning to them time after time? And it's okay to mention any of Judith's heroes.

Hello Dreadnaughts!

A few people have expressed interest in more Hot Seat dates. We are more than happy to accomodate but can you help us out with this by answering a few questions?

1. Would you be interested in signing up for a date?
2. Did you like the every three days time span or would it be better once a week IE: every Monday?
3. Should we start the dates this fall or wait until January?

Thank you for the interest. I hope the Hot Seat posts give you as much enjoyment as they have us! If you are reading the blog and would like to sign up, please see the below link:

Hero Appreciation - Kilts 'R' Us

2009-09-23T10:18:00.000-07:00

The Discussion Divas were sitting around the pool at Kelli's compound in Florida discussing the joy of reading and the variety of heroes there are there in the world of romance fiction. Definitely a hero for every heart's desire. And some how the conversation turned to men in kilts. Sexy, mysterious, witty, dangerous men in kilts.

Loralee and Kelli started going on and on about Karen Marie Moning's highlanders, especially the lusty and mysterious Adam Black, not to mention the shamelessly erotic Cain MacKeltar.

April mentioned Connor MacAlister and Alec Kincaid from Julie Garwood's The Wedding and The Bride and Collin Blackburn from Victoria Dahl's To Tempt A Scotsman. All three were very yummy heroes.

Susan Renee was rather smitten by Samantha James' Alec McBride. talk about tall dark and steamy.

Jenn and Naomi both swooned over Jamie Fraser from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. Even as he ages, this Scot totally has what it takes to turn a Diva's head.

Of course, who can forget JM's very own Scottish hero - Ian Thornton. Too bad he didn't wear a kilt in Almost Heaven. *sigh*

There's definitely more to a Scottish hero than what he wears under his kilt. Who is your favorite Scott? What makes him hero material? We Divas definitely want to know.

Hero Appreciation - Back to Paradise

2009-09-17T12:36:00.000-07:00

The Discussion Divas sat at their respective residences planning a trip to get together for a weekend of shopping, fine dining and perhaps a play or two. We thought we would make it a JM themed weekend and while Naomi and April were voting for a weekend escape to London, Kelli and Susan Renee wanted to hit the Great White Way. Jenn and Loralee piped up that wouldn't Chicago be nice this time of year and after some discussion it was agreed. We would have a weekend in Paradise country.

So ladies, join us on our trip down Paradise lane and tell us what you think about the men of Paradise. Does Matt do more than float your boat? Does Parker make you all warm and fuzzy. Is the enigmatic and earthy Joe more to your liking? We want to hear all!

Posted 9/17/09: Hero Appreciation Hump Day - Back to Paradise

Hero Appreciation - Simply Classic

2009-09-10T08:48:00.000-07:00

The Discussion Divas decided to meet at a cute little bookstore/coffee shop to celebrate back to school for the kids and a new month of Hero Appreciations.

With a back to school theme in mind, we discussed some of our favorite books from our high school and college days and the heroes who made English Lit so worth while. And the movies made of some of these books added layers to the heroic appeal.

We talked about Hawkeye from Last of the Mohicans, Mr. Darcy from Pride & Prejudice, D'Artagnan from The Three Musketeers, Robin Hood from lore and The Prince of Thieves, Aragorn and Legolas from The Lord of the Rings, Tristan from Tristan and Isolde, Laurie from Little Women and Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind. Let's just say we all agreed that the right casting in the movie does nothing but improve the appeal of these timeless heroes.

Who is your favorite classic hero? Was it the book or the movie that made your heart beat a little faster? What is about these men that has such long lasting and almost universal appeal?

Posted 9/9/09: Hero Appreciation Hump Day - Simply Classic

Hero Appreciation - Rich & Handsome

2009-08-27T07:30:00.000-07:00

Who hasn't fantasized at one time or another about a fictional hero who has it all - money, power, prestige, influence, success, a hot wardrobe, cars, a private island... You name it and these heroes have it. Except the love of a good woman. They would give up their personal empires for that deep, unconditional love and acceptance.

Those are the heroes who were on our minds as we dipped our toes in the pool at Doug and Kelli's Florida estate. There's something about that self made man who appears to have it all when he is floored but that one woman who makes his heart beat again in his tycoon chest. That woman who challenges his sense of right and wrong or his motives and helps him to become a better man for it.

Men like Matt Farrell, Cole Harrison, Nick Sinclair and Michael Valente who started with nothing, overcame huge obstacles and became more than something.

Who are your favorite Gabillionaires next door? And what makes them heroes in your eyes?

Posted on 8/26/09: Hero Appreciation Hump Day - Rich & Handsome!

Hero Appreciation - Almost Heaven

2009-08-19T13:17:00.000-07:00

Periodically, we Divas love to discuss Judith's heroes. They are one of the reasons we were all drawn to this BB and we think it's important to remember our romance roots.

Yesterday, while chatting online and shopping for shoes, books and chocolate, we decided that the perfect JM heroes for August are the men of Almost Heaven.

Jenn smiled as she recalled Lord John Marchman and his gallant attempts to ensure Elizabeth didn't have marry that toad Belhaven.

Kelli's fantasies turned to Ian's grandfather - in his younger years of course. Honestly, who could turn down a Duke?

April reminded us of Ian's uncle, Duncan, and that he would make the right woman a great catch.

Loralee waxed poetic about the enigmatic Duke of Hammund and how wonderful it was to be married to one of Ian's good friends.

Susan Renee tempted us with Thomas Tyson, wishing he had more page time, being an influential reporter and all.

Naomi sat back and just grinned. Ian. Need we say more?

So, ladies, grab yourself a cocktail and join the conversation. Who are your favorite Men of Almost Heaven? What is it about them that make you all tingly? Or make you sigh?

Hero Appreciation - He Shoots, He Scores!

2009-08-12T12:35:00.000-07:00

Over the weekend the Divas were sitting by the pool drinking Goose and Cranberry and nibbling on chocolate when the discussion turned to our favorite topic - romance novel heroes. A very athletic man walked by and inspired Diva April so much she blurted out, "There's something so sexy about a sports hero!" We all agreed. There is something about a man who has the discipline to hone his body into a lean, mean machine capable of feats of strength and endurance. Oh, the endurance! So, as the Divas sipped our Goose and nibbled more chocolate, our thoughts turned to Hero Appreciation Hump Day and what better Hero to appreciate than the sports heroes of our favorite romance authors.

So tell us about your favorite hockey, football, baseball, extreme fighting, NASCAR (because yes, apparently that's considered a sport), or other athletic hero.

Hero Appreciation - It's Hot In Here

2009-08-06T08:22:00.000-07:00

The Discussion Divas were doing what they do best - shoe shopping and dishing about books - when the discussion turned toward hot heroes. After some back and forth debate, and several summer sandals later, we decided to dedicate this week's Hero Appreciation post to heroes to practically steam off the page. Yes, ladies, we're talking firefighters.These men put their lives in the line of danger every day, flexing those superb muscles, lifting those hefty hoses, and rescuing the heroine. Every. Single. Time. Oh, yeah, we love these men who know just how dangerous jumping into the flames can be and yet jump anyway. From kitten to elderly couple, to villain, to town on the edge of the flame, no one is considered not worth saving. And that makes the firefighter a sizzling hero.

Share with us some of your favorite firemen, or women, and tell us what makes them hot, hot, hot.

Hero Appreication - Fanged & Dangerous

2009-08-05T08:26:00.000-07:00

Diva Kelli reminded us all last week that Sherrilyn Kenyon's latest Dark Hunter book hit the shelves on the 4th. Since all the Divas have read her books, and love her dark, fanged and angst-driven heroes, we decided that today we were going to celebrate romance heroes who bite. Whether it's a vampire, shape-shifter or another hero with fangs, we want to hear from you! Who is your favorite fanged hero? Is it Acheron from SK's Darkhunter series? Wrath from JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood? Cian from Nora Robert's Circle Trilogy? Tegan from Lara Adrian's Midnight Breeds? Tanner from Lora Leigh's Breed series? Someone else even more compelling?

Come on ladies, share with us one of your favorite fanged and dangerous hero. Don't be afraid, we won't bite. But they might.

Hero Appreciation - We Salute You

2009-08-05T08:25:00.000-07:00

The Divas were sitting around the pool and sipping cocktails over the weekend and discussions turned, as the invariably do, to books and plot lines and heroes. There are some heroes who are considered heroic due to the nature of their jobs. And there are those who are heroic because of what their jobs, and their lives stand for. Today we want to honor the Armed Forces and the fictional heroes who have offered us hours of entertainment because they serve their country and their women so well. There are so many military heroes in romance fiction they nearly rival the pairs of shoes the Divas collectively own.

So, ladies, share with us your favorite Armed Forces hero and what makes him a cut above the rest.
