I am reading The Fallen by Thomas Sniegoski. The first two chapter have been intriguing and I'm looking forward to the rest of the book. I have stalled at this point because I have been too busy to read...but hopefully will be back on track soon!


I received a copy of Mockingjay, but I don't feel like reading yet.












Anyway, Im raving again. Sorry.


I didn't realize that was the same author. I had Feed from the library but ended up having to turn it back in because I never got to it and someone else requested it. Is it pretty graphic?

Loved the Pride Mates's book. I HATED Naked Dragon, the heroine was so irritating and condescending! Love the Queen of the Orcs series and just found out the next book is waiting for me at the library. And Spider's Bite was really good. This weekend I read a lot of good books except for one, which is a little unusual.

So far I am really impressed.

Now listening to The Hunger Games and The Immortal Highlander and reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and City of Bones.

Robert Fanney scribbler of: Dreams of the Ringed Vale,The War of Mists, and The Nightmares of Winter.

* Charles de Lint Wolf Moon and check out the Newford short story "Trading Hearts at the Half Kaffee Cafe."
* Vampire Junction by S.P. Somtow who also has written some werewolf books...
* A lot of people have never heard of
Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and her Saint Germaine series. He's a 4,000 year old vampire and the books about him are as much historical fiction as horror. These are some of my favorites. These books can be read in any order. Hotel Transylvania, Dark of the Sun: A Novel of Saint-Germain and Out of the House of Life.

I loved Blameless Paula. I read it this last weekend.

Slight spoiler......(Regarding Sunshine)
When I read it, it was such very refreshing to read a book where the vamps are yucky and scary and the protag vamp is physically unattractive (mostly). I guess you could say I read a lot of books with supersexy, magnetic vamps, so was so nice to have vamps unattractive, at least on the surface. I just loved it. The other piece I loved was the way the protags power was through sunbathing. I just really enjoyed the worldbuilding and juxtiposition of vamp and sunpowered.


Me too Bonnie, I just preordered Shadowfever. These books are so good.


I'm going to be starting the Glass series by Maria Snyder soon (in keeping with our theme/genre here), but what I'm currently reading at the moment is The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.











I found somewhere that said October of next year. A long wait!

The series has mixed reviews, but I enjoy her style, and am enjoying this series. I am really looking forward to Killbox. I havent read that one yet, but Jax was who introduced me to Aguirre.



Now reading Truthseeker by CE Murphy, and Three Days to Dead


I'm about half way through Patient Zero. It's completely different from anything else I've read. There are zombies (in a fashion) but the story really revolves around terrorism and special ops unit that is trying to handle the situation. I'm enjoying it but don't know if it will inspire me to read more like it. One of those books that "it's nice to visit but I wouldn't want to stay" kinda thing.
