NA: Will it last?




            There’s been a lot of talk about NA. Some say it the erotica equivalent of a 64-calorie beer, while other feel so strongly for the section that they’ll scream down your throat if you say anything even sort of negative about it. So, is it or isn’t it a fad?

Honestly, I don’t give a flying frak.

            NA, just like everything else, is a marketing scheme. It’s only there to sell to a certain audience. Right now, that audience is those ladies that want romance and the YA feel of a book, but don’t want to feel like they jumped into the teenie-bopper section to buy one.

            Will NA change and not become so romance centric? It’s possible considering that everything changes, but who really knows. NA is still a baby when it comes to an age section of a bookstore.

            But that’s enough about my thoughts. Let us know how you feel about the NA section? Romance only, or does it have multiple genre staying power? And if you’re a fan, why or why not? Inquiring minds of the Rejects want to know….

What's On Liz's TBR List?

Hi all!

For me months go by and every time I see a new blog post or run into something about a book I just hit up Goodreads or B&N.com and add it to my wishlist. Problem is, now that school has started finding time for leisure reading is tough! Still, I figured I'd share with you two of the books at the top of my TBR pile.

What are yours? I'd love some more to add to my collection. You know help the addiction grow...

My Life Next Door which is an adorable contemporary romance. And since I'm working on one I could use a few pointers. Beside isn't that the cutest cover? ;)

Goodreads Synopsis:

“One thing my mother never knew, and would disapprove of most of all, was that I watched the Garretts. All the time.”

The Garretts are everything the Reeds are not. Loud, numerous, messy, affectionate. And every day from her balcony perch, seventeen-year-old Samantha Reed wishes she was one of them . . . until one summer evening, Jase Garrett climbs her terrace and changes everything. As the two fall fiercely in love, Jase's family makes Samantha one of their own. Then in an instant, the bottom drops out of her world and she is suddenly faced with an impossible decision. Which perfect family will save her? Or is it time she saved herself?

A dreamy summer read, full of characters who stay with you long after the story is over.




Semi-Charmed Life. Lately I'm all about NYC so reading about a blogger swept up into the NYC socialite life, well, that sounds promising. Okay, yeah, I also like the cover. (Yes, I'm one of those people)

Goodreads Synopsis:

In Nora Zelevansky’s hilarious debut, Semi-Charmed Life, an Upper West Side naïf, Beatrice Bernstein, gets swept up in the seemingly magical life of socialite Veruca Pfeffernoose, while ghost writing her blog. Veruca’s glitteringly opulent world soon seduces Beatrice away from her own insular, arty family with a promise of fancy parties, travel outside Manhattan (for once) and one desperately cute guy. But when her new glitzy lifestyle starts to take on dark undertones, Beatrice has to decide who she is—once and for all. With her own magical touch, Zelevansky deftly explores the world of rarified Manhattan in this sparkling modern fairy tale of first love, finding one’s voice and growing up.

What are you dying to read?
