V-day may be over, but we're betting you didn't get enough action. Though you may be alone, you can get hot and heavy under the covers with some of these reads. Some may call romances trashy, but there's a lot to be learned from this unsung genre. Grab a pint of ice cream or some leftover chocolates and curl up under the covers with these historically-based fantasies.

Need a last minute gift and a subtle way to tell loved ones they spend way too darn much moola? RFB has a present for you. Check out this excerpt from Bargain Junkie by Annie Korzen, of Seinfield and Transformers fame, and learn why we love it:

Reading is fun and educational. Books at the store are expensive. But there's this way cool place called a library where you can read books for free. You can even take them home with you! All you have to do is get a library card, which is also free. Crazy, right?

In honor of Comic-Con, the largest comic book, sci-fi, and fantasy convention in the world, here are a bunch of awesome comics you should be reading with all your downtime. Books with pictures are quick reads, so I expect a full report by next week. Books are expensive, you say? Then get them from the library or borrow from a friend!
