Jeaniene Frost
Kelley Armstrong

Alana, I've been circling Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant for a while now. I'll have to give her stuff a try.

I ADORE it. I actually am reading an ARC of - it's the first Mira Grant book of hers I've ever actually read- LOVING it. She's got my urban fantasy covered, my lighter UF meets PNR monster-hunting cryptozoologist/ballroom dancer, zombie books (though I haven't read them, I already bought them and hear wonderful things), sci-fi body-snatchers... it's like she has a little of almost all the things I love.

Alana, just put Parasite on my TBR list. Thanks!

Wow! You must be forking out some dough!

It's the storage that can be such an issue...

Speaking of Oliver, did you read Liesl & Po? That looks like something I might be interested in.

I'll read anything by Greg Iles. Every book is different and sucks me in.

Michael Palmer hooks me every time.

I'm still struggling with the whole eBook vs print. I love the feel of a real book in my hands, and I love the ease, portability, and STORAGE of that eBook...

Ooh, yes, Simon R. Green and Charles de Lint!
