MJ’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

that's an easy one!

The Dark Age, by Traci Harding

Not sure about the reading progress bit, but it makes no sense that it would change just because you add the book to a shelf/shelves. As long as your not rating the book on the way in (stars), then it should stay as is.

As for multiple shelves, it's not a problem. But if you do find it disappearing off one shelf when you mark another, go into 'my books' and 'edit' shelves. Make sure you haven't marked any of the relevant shelves as 'exclusive'.

No worries. I had the reminders on for 29th of the month... must have just got distracted last month.

I know I've read some recently... Just have to remember them!

Huh, I didn't know you could get specific series links in GR's. Thought you just had to search author. Thx Kris

YES! thank you.

Think the authors name is Eion? Or something like it. Have done a search but no good.
It came out around Harry Potter time, and is similar in the way it portrays this other side of society. It's not imagined or dainty in any way.

The kid is a genius and is basically raised by this body guard (don't really remember his parents around at all.
He manages to trap one of the fairy's when she makes her (monthly?) trip to get an acorn(?) from a tree on the surface to renew her power. Think they generally grab a couple of nuts so they don't have to come out each time.
She (a main character) wakes in a cell and uses the metal bed to break thru the concrete so that she can plant(?) the acorn she still has so that her power will renew.
She is part of the fairy police force.
Over the series, the kid becomes very involved in the fairy's business/world.
There are other beigs, not just fairys
Am pretty sure some of it is the kid helping the fairy's dodge the government who it trying to find them
There are a few other characters that make the main group. A gnome or dwarf(?) who -as a speices - can dislocate the jaw so they can dig/eat tunnels... which of course requires the pants to be dropped so that the dirt can come out the other end.
There are bits where they come to the surface and where the kid goes into their world.

OH, and there's just a one liner about how funny they find the humans fascination with stone hedge as it's just the remnants of "names" old pizza drive thru.

(view spoiler)[
serveral books in, the body guard gets killed in some of the shenanigans they all get up to. The kid is very attached to him, so puts him on ice (very short term, hours, not weeks etc) until he can convince/demand the fairy's to bring him back.
They manage to revive him, he is physically diminished which is hard for him after being such a fit able guard etc.
He also has some of the bullet proof vest now fused into him (bits that went in with the bullet) (hide spoiler)]

Interesting

I can think of a few where the h is left, but not by the H I don't think. Do you have anything else?

Setting
Time
When you read it
Format
I'm guessing since it's the H/h, that they did meet up again
Were they in town or the middle of nowhere
Had they been out to dinner or traveling etc

Anything could help your odds.

Just picked it up to read...
