About Ana’s Attic

Hi! I am Ana, and I started this blog at the beginning of 2012. Originally started to help women find books to read after Fifty Shades of Grey, it has expanded to include all kinds of romance. I am a lover of bargains, so you will always find hundreds of high-rated deals on my New Release/Sales/Freebies page which I try to update daily. I read books and listen to audiobooks.

My reviews are detailed with some favorite quotes from the book, my Likes and Dislikes, and I always include a “Down & Dirty” review which is for those of you who like a brief review. I don’t give spoilers for the most part, but I will mention if a book doesn’t stand alone. My audiobook reviews follow the same format but I have a section about the narration. If you don’t listen to audiobooks, the reviews will still work for you, just skip that part.

I send out a newsletter twice monthly with some chosen books, the current giveaways, and my latest reviews.

Our Facebook Page is always where you can get the latest sales. Raegan helps run the Facebook page, where we post sales and book news as they happen.

I read to escape and be happy. I love romance and happy endings. Though some of my all-time favorite books made me ugly cry, I prefer happy. I don’t mind gritty, but I don’t love really dark or evil in my books.

We take your Privacy and Security very seriously and we never sell our list. Please see our policies here.

Wicked Book Weekend

In 2013, I wanted to meet my favorite authors, but there were no Indie book signings, so I started my own. The first Wicked Book Weekend was in February 2013, and we have done it every year since. Because I don’t like big crowds and waiting in line just to have a stranger scribble in my book, I keep Wicked Book Weekend small and intimate so you really get to hang out with your favorite authors. It’s in a small beachfront hotel in Fort Lauderdale, and we have an amazing lineup and three days of events! Check out 2018!

 

Ratings

I am pretty picky about what I read. I choose books I think I will love, but there are varying degrees of love, right? This is where the 5 star system really fails me. I look at the overall stars on Amazon & Goodreads and they vary by a tenth of a point because they are averages. But in my head, that’s how I rate a book. A good portion of my reviews fall between a 4 and 5, and I need to differentiate, if only for myself, how much I loved the book. I review every book I finish, but if I am not enjoying it, I don’t torture myself, so I put it aside. I only rate books I finish.

Rating Scale:

  • 5++++ Stars: Will become an all-time favorite. I tuned out of life while reading.
  • 5 stars: Couldn’t imagine it being better. Couldn’t stop reading. Pretty much my perfect read.
  • 4.75 Stars: It was almost perfect, but something small kept it from being a 5 star “perfect” read.
  • 4.5 stars: Loved every second, but maybe missing the impact a 5 star book has.
  • 4.25 stars: Loved it, but there were a few things that held it back.
  • 4 stars: Enjoyed the heck out of it, but wasn’t blown away.
  • 3.75 stars: Really liked it, just didn’t love it.
  • 3.5 stars: Liked it.
  • 3.25 stars: It was OK
  • 3 stars: meh. Didn’t really do it for me, but you might like it.
  • 2.75 stars: OK, but I wouldn’t really recommend it. I had a lot of issues, but not enough to stop reading.
  • 2.5 or less: These are very rare, because if I’m not enjoying the book at all, I will usually move on to one I will enjoy more. There are too many amazing books to waste time with one I don’t enjoy a lot.

Heat:

  • 5 Flames: The book is about sex. Whether it’s a BDSM club or just a lot of sex, there is always some kink involved.
  • 4.75 Flames: The book is still an erotic book with lots of sex, but the sex isn’t quite as frequent or kinky.
  • 4.5 Flames: Erotic romance that has a lot of descriptive sex and dirty talking.
  • 4.25 Flames: May have hot descriptive sex but not a ton, or maybe a lot of sex but not very descriptive.
  • 4 Flames: A sexy romance, with some descriptive sex, but the sex is not a huge part of the story.
  • 3.75 Flames: There are a few good sexy scenes, but not overly descriptive.
  • 3.5 Flames: There are some sexy scenes but no full-on descriptive sex.
  • 3.25 Flames: No descriptive sex, but still sexy flirting and innuendos.
  • 3 Flames: Sex is talked about but not shown.
  • Less than 3 Flames: there may be innuendos, talk, but there are no real sexy scenes.

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since the pr I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since the premiere of Fifty Shades Darker. It was such an amazing trip and we were even on Access Hollywood! This little video just popped up in my iPhone memories yesterday and it’s perfect.

“Don’t deny it, babe. It’s in your eyes. It’s in your voice. It’s in the way you touch me and it’s definitely in the way you light up when I touch you.”

Sigh….I just loved STILL STANDING by  @kristenashleybooks . If you loved Motorcycle Man, you are sure to love Still Standing, there are a lot of similarities. I gobbled up every word. Warning: there may be a time or two where you think Buck is too much of an ass…but keep going, you’ll get over it and fall in love too.

“You’re so damn hung up on your age, Blakely, “You’re so damn hung up on your age, Blakely, but when I look at you? I just see you.”

I listened too Flirting with 40 by @kbromberg a few months ago and went on vacation and forgot to review. But it’s been stuck in my head since then. I loved it and I was so mad I didn’t share that love enough with everyone. So here it is! I LOVED IT.

“Spark is what I didn’t have for so long. And “Spark is what I didn’t have for so long. And this guy is all spark.”

Have you listened to @therealjoearden’s first book? @laurenblakelybooks teamed up with him to write How To Get Lucky! They make a great team, because I loved it! Listening to an author read their own words always stands out as extra-special for me.

Dream Chaser by @kristenashleybooks was the perfec Dream Chaser by @kristenashleybooks was the perfect comfort read, with a little BDSM thrown in. If you are an old-school KA fan, you will love Dream Chaser, the mash-up of Rock Chick and Dream Team: The next generation.
