Part of it is that balance between the romance and action/suspense portions of the story, but also it's because they're published by Harlequin/Silhouette and other romance publishers and shelved as romance.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm about done with a book that might have some crossover appeal: Good News, Bad News, by David Wolstencroft. He's the creator of Spooks/MI-5. It's fun, although even if I didn't know he was a tv guy, there's a lot of tv in it -- it opens with an ultra-dramatic teaser, and then flashes back to the build-up.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
New Hannibal Lecter novel coming to a bookstore near you, and then a theater, of course.

I'm so corrupted.

I wouldn't say it's slashy in the implementation, but that's me. YSMV.

Oh, for God's sake, Harris. Let It Go. Didn't Hannibal wreck the character enough for you? It did for me. Argh.

Given where they left Clarice in the book vs. the movie, I think any film version is going to be in name only.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
It's a prequel, so cue more embarrassing pony-tail action from Gammon Hopkins.

Francis Crawford fans may enjoy the story of the zombified Master of Culter. Bwah.

JP Rowling reveals some chapter titles for book 6.
