April has been a bit of a lost month, what with my parents arriving at The Bat Cave for a visit, me taking six days away from the office, killing two car tires one on My Man's car, one on mine , and then, inevitably , having to go back to work after six days off to scramble around playing catch-up. But I have popped up in other places even if this blog has been a bit quiet.
I do this column monthly folks - which means if I see anymore whining on Twitter about "Boohoo I'm so tired of Regency and why don't they publish books that aren't Regencies? Second, I'm over at Vassiliki's Shallowreader blog being featured in her latest Sharing the Shallows. Find out what I really think about reading in the bathroom, what romance trope I will loathe with my last dying breath and if I think guys who drive hatchbacks are worthy of being romance heroes.
Arriving just in time for me to celebrate surviving my first full week back in the office, the latest Ever After subscription box showed up. For those who are unfamiliar with the Ever After box, it's roughly the size of a child's size shoe box and typically contains several books a mix of print and digital downloads , book related swag, and sometimes swag related to the theme at large.
So what was in this month's box? Well, I have to be honest - nothing here that really surprised me. However, that being said, I try to keep up with librarian-related romances - so yeah. It would have been more shocking if I had been completely caught unawares.

For the most part I liked this box and I really liked how they tied together the theme. Besides the featured librarian romances I received, Dade, Maher, Title and Mann have all worked, or still work, as librarians. I guess I'll have to read the book to find out! I'm unlikely to be a regular subscriber, but I have a hard time saying no to Ever After when there's a theme I'm a sucker for - and you have a one-month plan option.
