Dawn, what did you think of HoS? Her "other" series, LOL, was so hit or miss that I'm reluctant to try this one.

It was ok, I cannot say I hated it but I did not love it either. Parts of it just felt to predictable.

Hey Dawn had you read the original novel of Fuzzy Nation? Because when I found out that this one is a remake I wasn't sure what I thought if that. I do know that I don't want it to become a trend.

I've got my eye on [book:Son of No One|1815919..."

Ah, it's the UK cover :)

[Angie]

I'm reading , and have a big choice to make after I'm done. I want to read Son of No One, since I just read that whole series recently, but I don't like paying $13 for new releases, especially since I heard it's not very long and I read some really bad reviews. I'll read it at some point, but I'm thinking it'll be after the price goes down. But I also have , , , the first three books in some shifter series, five or six fireman romance books, and four Trina M Lee 'Alexa O'Brien' books. Maybe some other new releases, but I can't think of what they are at the moment.

[Crystal]

ok so I just finished DivergentInsurgentAllegiant I am still not sure how I feel about the ending of this series and the turns it took. I also finished Outlander and about to start Dragonfly in Amber. I really enjoyed Outlander and look forward to the next one.

I did read Little Fuzzy a long time ago. Honestly my memory could be a little off but it almost felt like two different stories.

In the original I recall being fascinated by alien life. Plus the main character was like a grandfather. The main character in this one is a completely self serving. Fuzzy nation has more world building around corporate and individual greed balanced by imposed responsibilities/regulations.

Anyway I would have to reread Little Fuzzy before I could truly compare but it seemed like a different book. It also probably helped that I listened to it on audio so there is that as well.

As for the trend in remaking books. I admit I am not a fan of the lets dust off the old classic and make it better or different.

[Judith]

I just finished by Carrie Vaughn. Loved the parts about Alex and Greek myths. Took me a while to get into the main character, but when all of the story threads came together, they really worked. Now I'm reading Ilona Andrews' .

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I wasn't convinced by I think she tried to cram too much into the story. The premise was good but ultimately I only gave it 3 stars. Glad you liked it though Judith :)

Presently I'm trying to catch up on S.E. Smith's scifi / dragon roms.

[Angie]

Goodreads still hasn't added the new Jane Yellowrock book, a book with three short stories, two of which are new, the other only released as an audio book and the title of the whole book. It's called Black Water: A Jane Yellowrock Book. So instead of Feral Sins being what I'm currently reading, I'm going to read Black Water first. Then jump into .

I never read the second book of the series, but loved the first. The books are so long. Eventually I'll probably read it.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

When I had a look Angie the new Black Water was listed, both kindle & ebook, however it was combined with the audible edition. Now separated & properly labeled.

Sandra, you're the bomb-diggity!! Thanks!! When I search before I posted my last comment, it was showing just the audio. I will say for anyone planning to get this, Snafu, where Jane is interning, is super short! I'm reading the title piece now, which I listened to back when I read the rest of the series, but I'd forgotten most of the plot.

I'm behind on Jane Yellowrock, but I love that series. It's one of my favorites.

I liked it because of the Greek myths plot. The comic book subplot just didn't do it for me. I had trouble getting into the m/c because I'd have rather seen more of her and her dad, less of the comic book scenes.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

Judith, I liked the Greek myths plot as well. I didn't dislike the book, just felt it could've been better.

No worries Angie, I like fixing the stuffed up books :DD
And of course, it was Jane!

I am re-reading and read/reviewing .

Re-reading , then will re-read before diving into .

I want to buy Patricia Briggs' new collection of short stories. I LOVE short stories. Have any of you read it?

Judith wrote: "I want to buy Patricia Briggs' new collection of short stories. I LOVE short stories. Have any of you read it?"

I thought it was good. Half were stories she had released in anthologies, half were new ones. A good mix and a great way to get more in depth view of some of the secondary characters.

OMG Judith!! I adored this book!!! You could check my review (if you're better than me at finding things on this place ;-) because without spoilers I somewhat describe what each story is about. I may have put it in the Shifting Shadows thread here on WYA.

[Judith]

Okay, you settled it. I'll have to buy it! I love Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson and I love short stories. How could they not go well together?

[Leigh]

I'm with you on this. It is up next for me to purchase.

[Sandra, Need more time to Read!!]

I'm waiting for the mmp edition :)

[Judith]

Can't blame you. Hardbacks are expensive, but my birthday's coming up, so I'm asking for it as a gift:)

I'm just waiting for the price to drop. :)

I have an audible credit I think I will use.

That is the route I went.

There is always some many books I want to get with my credit.

[Judith]

Do you enjoy audible as much as sitting down with a book to read?

I know, but if you use up your credits often there is a pop up that will let you buy 3 more credits for $34. More money, but... lol

[Darcy]

Judith wrote: "Do you enjoy audible as much as sitting down with a book to read?"

I love audio books. I tend to always have one going. They are great for when you are driving in the car, putzing around the house. I even listen when I'm at work and working on spreadsheets.

A couple of weeks ago I was canning salsa and it took all day for 2 weekends. Took a lot of reading time out, but as I had an audio going it didn't bother me. I've even gotten to the point where I listen to them at double speed, regular is just too slow and when I have to listen to that speed due to a formatting issue it drives me nuts.

[Judith]

I've still never tried one. Maybe because I can't multi-task worth crap. I think a story would distract me and my salsa would end up unusual:) But I'm going to have to get brave and give one a shot.

I would give them a try, but maybe see if you can get them through your library, that way you aren't out any money.

[Judith]

Thanks, our library's only a few minutes from our house. I'll give that a shot.

[Leigh]

Judith wrote: "Do you enjoy audible as much as sitting down with a book to read?"

I enjoy audio books when I am unable to sit down and read. That is how I am able to read two books at a time. I listen while doing housework, shopping and traveling. I love them!

I loved on audio. I have audible but I also download them from my library.

I have done that in the past but they had the sale this month so I bought 4of those books plus my credit.

I understand, been there done that! lol

[Judith]

I know, a beginner's question, but how long does it take to listen to a book? Hours and hours?

[Darcy]

Judith wrote: "I know, a beginner's question, but how long does it take to listen to a book? Hours and hours?"

Each book is different. For an idea, go to audible.com and check out different books you like and you'll get a better idea.

[Leigh]

Depends on the book but yes. Some as little as 4 hours and some as much as 23 hours. Does your library have ebooks and audios? Each audio will tell you how long it is.

[Judith]

I'm going to go check this weekend. I think I'll start small--4 hours, if I can. Then I'll get braver and stretch for longer books:) Can you tell I'm the type who dips her toes in the pool, then her ankles, etc. before I ever submerge???
