Jonesin’ For a Fix: Books for TV Addicts — Jane the Virgin Edition

When I first heard the premise to The CW's Jane the Virgin, I rolled my eyes and mentally wrote it off. A virgin gets accidentally knocked up? Count me out. I’m a romance novel (and TV) junkie, and I’ve read/watched enough ‘surprise pregnancy’ tropes to know that it’s not my cup…

Battle ‘Ships Never-Lose-Hope Edition: Delena vs. Klaroline!

Most of the time, I like to root for couples that I know stand a chance at Happily Ever After. Sometimes, I’m bitterly disappointed (don’t even get me started on How I Met Your Mother’s Barney & Robin), but I can usually spot a life-long love a mile away. It’s…

Battle ‘Ships: The 100’s Bellarke vs. Clexa

In our last Battle ‘Ships column, we tackled The Vampire Diaries, pitting Stefan/Caroline ("Steroline") 'shippers against Klaus/Caroline ("Klaroline") ‘shippers. It should come as no surprise that "Klaroline" won by a landslide on our poll, proving once and for all (at least on BookTrib!) that Klaus and Caroline are meant to be.…

3 Shows, and a Book, that Depict the Sexy Side of History

I like my historical shows like I like my men: sexy, a little scandalous and shirtless as often as possible. Luckily, television has not disappointed me lately with the historical sexiness. Everywhere you look these days men and women are heating up the small screens in their corsets and pantaloons…

Battle ‘Ships: The Flash’s WestAllen vs. SnowBarry

When The Flash first premiered last year as a spinoff of superhero show Arrow, I thought it would be a nice antidote to its predecessor’s often dark and depressing storylines. Everything about it felt simpler: a less complicated superhero, more humor and an established love story from the very beginning.…

“Olicity” Watch: Souls Once Lost, Now Found
