Margo | 663 comments I see that everyone agees with that choice :)
Well I'm on chapter five but I have to go to try and get some sleep - it's 2 a.m. if everythings goes well, maybe I'll be able to fall asleep around 3 :/


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 1164 comments I totally agree, Dresden Files....even better if you get the audiobook with James Marsters.

I'm trying to dwindle all the Kindle books I keep grabbing. So far A Wolf's Song by Shannon Phoenix had good ideas but poor execution. Let's see if Seer's Hope by Maree Anderson fare any better.

Secrets of the Demon (Kara Gillian, #3) by Diana Rowland

Seriously … I read in books more about bad politicians rather than good ones … irritating to say the least.

I love the “ah-ha!’ feeling you get when you re-read a book and get stuff. A sort of ‘ohhh that is why that happened’ or something like that.

D.C. (dcmallory) | 152 comments @Zeenat - the Blood Singer series is good - you should enjoy it.

On my rereads of Jane True, one thing comes immediately to mind - I hate Ryu!


Mello ❣ Illium ✮Harry✮ ☀Myrnin☀ Torin Ichimaru | 2012 comments I'm reading The School for Good and Evil by Soman Chainani and really wanting to know how this plays out. Pretty interesting so far.

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments @ zeenat:
I KNOW! That is why I am torn.... You know a series is good when you find yourself thinking about it long after you hav read the last book.
Even if there are some wtf moments in it and it is not perfect. :x

@DC:
O goody I am not alone in thinking that.
I thought he was a douche when he was first introduced. :/

Ohhhh Cat Adams, I liked the beginning of the sazi series. this new series looks interesting.


message 2615: by D.C. (new)

D.C. (dcmallory) | 152 comments Ryu is arrogant and obnoxious, and little Jane, had she not been so forlorn due to previous issues, wouldn't have had anything to do with him had her teen years played out differently, or so I'd like to believe. It could be there's just no accounting for taste!

The Blood Singer series is actually a few years old, now. I have never read the Sazi series - never even heard of it - is it good?


message 2616: by Zeenat (new)

Zeenat (zeekwon) | 6376 comments Ryu is not as bad, but yeah, him and Anyan prompted a blog post on why I like Anynan over Ryu lol


message 2617: by Llaph (new)

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments @ DC:
I remember now the name of the series and when it first came out. I am/or were subscribed to her newsletter with the co-author she had for the sazi series.
I really like the beginning of the series, for me it started to peter out towards the end. I still liked the series though.
It is mainly about shape shifters, all sorts of animals, and sub species. For instance one book has a mexican red wolf shifter mc.
There are snake shifters and even a komodo dragon shifter, she is such a bitch, but she sort of fits with what she is.
Hunter’s Moon (The first book of the series) is still one of my favorites of the series. I loooove Tony. He was a mob hitman/assassin before he was bitten by a werewolf. It has been a while since I have read the series, I might look into reading it again.

Tales of the Sazi by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp

@zeenat & DC:
I rather thought Ryu was taking advantage of Jane and was rooting for Anyan in the beginning. He was just a pretty booty call imo.
Ryu is just skeevy….


Valerie ~ Val Hall ~ | 1164 comments @Llaph: I loved Tony too! I was disappointed when it changed in book 3. I think I gave up after book four but i should pick the series up again.

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments @val:
I think that after that book things just went towards more woowoo stuff. Tony plays a big part in it all, but damn I wanted him to have more books not just cameos with him and bobby. :P

***
I was reading the blurbs again and I forgot to mention that the shifters usually have a power, like with clairvoyance,healing, and I don't remember what else. I think sometimes they don't too ... like I said it has been a while!

message 2623: by Margo (new)

Margo | 663 comments Well, that's a big problem of mine, I get easily addicted to the stories and characters, so if I like something, I tend to read until I finish it all. I just have to make a break somewhere between books to read Gravity (Mageri, #4) by Dannika Dark , but other then that, I'm set for a while :)

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments Moon's Web (A Tale of the Sazi, #2) by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp

Sad times, last tony book.  I will keep reading, I don’t remember the book where I started to get bored with the series. Hmm, maybe things will be different this time around.


@ Claire:
You should make lists Claire! Did you finish the demonica series, or just stop at wraith’s book? Lore’s is okay, but I really liked sin’s book.

It depends on what you want to read. When I am stuck I sometimes figure out a way to pick a book at random out of my choices. I have sometimes assigned books numbers and bugged someone to give me a number in that range to pick for me.

Yeah … I am weird.


message 2632: by Claire (new)

Jane True! The last one comes out soon :)

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments Howling Moon (A Tale of the Sazi, #4) by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp
I forgot about the wonky out of the time line progressionish thing that this book did. 1, 2, and 3 followed each other, but this book took place months before and during the 2nd book.
Not that it made a difference,but a few of the comments/actions in book 2 make more sense.

Argh … can’t stop it …The plot line with the snakes and quezocotl is starting so I might get bored with the series and stop re-reading.

It's all someone else's fault or something.

Llaph  (llaph) | 3285 comments Cold Moon Rising (A Tale of the Sazi, #7) by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp

It has been a while since I read this series. I certainly see it in a different light after reading the mass books I have read in the interim. I can't think about anything else. I just like it more than I had before. Maybe that is because I have a broader range of stuff like this now to compare it to.

It has taken me too long to say nothing … ambien + dingbat me = no freaking sense at all

reeeeeeeeuuuu

Serpent Moon (A Tale of the Sazi, #8) by C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp,

I haven’t read this series in total since maybe ’10 when this book had come out. I kept stopping mainly I guess because there was a book I didn’t like much in the way. :P I forgot about how much I liked the ending of this book/series. I wish there was another series set in this world.  It would be totally different, but still….
