These should be read in order as the personal life of Sebastian (early 1800's) develops in the background.

Love Means... Healing

There is an overall theme of the gay guys, also there is a lot about handicaps and fitting in that I really like. A "chicken soup for the soul" series.

tbr: Eland (prequel - optional)
Rees
Maia and Rylan
Rio
Aiden and Ky
Calder
tbr: Braden
tbr: Justin
tbr: Kieran

overall ***
SciFi, sexually repressed females and enhanced male sex slaves. What more do you need?


message 7: by Marianne (new)

Marianne Boutet Christopher Stasheff The Warlock in Spite of Himself

The Warlock in Spite of Himself
then you can read the prequel: Escape Velocity (optional)
King Kobold Revived
The Warlock Unlocked
The Warlock Enraged
...and here I came up for air. The family gets into the act from here on out - following are all TBR
The Warlock Wandering
The Warlock Is Missing
The Warlock Heretical
The Warlock's Companion
The Warlock Insane
The Warlock Rock
Warlock and Son
The Warlock's Last Ride

overall (as far as I have gone): ****

...and then of course there is a whole spinoff series involving the Warlock's son, so when I am in the mood I will have plenty to enjoy.

I have several books for this series that I need to read as well.

Marianne Boutet Charlie Richards:
Wolves of Stone Ridge
Kontra's Menagerie
A Paranormal's Love
A Loving Nip
etc.

A good explanation and titles is at this site:
www.charlie-richards.com/Reading-Orde...

I "think" I have read as far as Giving Perrin Life
It gets confusing bouncing around the series. I have more to read, and I am not stopped by any means. Believe it or not, there is a progressing story line! These are all fun reads when you want something that you don't have to take too seriously.

overall: ***

Marianne Boutet Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse a/k/a True Blood

Dead Until Dark
Living Dead in Dallas
Club Dead
Dead to the World
Dead as a Doornail
Definitely Dead
All Together Dead
From Dead to Worse
Dead and Gone
tbr: Dead in the Family
tbr: Dead Reckoning
tbr: Deadlocked
tbr: Dead Ever After
tbr: After Dead: What Came Next in the World of Sookie Stackhouse

overall: *** to ****

I heard rumors that the series ended horribly so I put off reading for awhile...then the series was on television and I did NOT like the way it was done. I think to be fair I should give the whole series a reread.

I need to read this series still. I own the first 8 or so.

Marianne Boutet Elizabeth Hunter Elemental World

Building From Ashes
Waterlocked
Blood and Sand
tbr: The Bronze Blade
The Scarlet Deep
A Very Proper Monster
to be bought: A Stone-Kissed Sea

overall ****+

This series highlights the side characters from the Elemental Mysteries world, but are well enough written to stand alone.


message 22: by Marianne (new)

Marianne Boutet Elizabeth Vaughan Chronicles of the Warlands

Warprize
Warsworn
Warlord
tbr: Warcry
tbr: WarDance
to be bought: Warsong

overall: ****+

I have reread these more than once, but I always stop after Warlord. I really should finish this!


message 24: by Marianne (new)

Marianne Boutet Fritz Leiber Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser

Swords and Deviltry
Swords Against Death
Swords in the Mist
Swords Against Wizardry
The Swords of Lankhmar
Swords and Ice Magic
tbr: The Knight and Knave of Swords

overall: *****

This, I believe, is one of the series that coined the phrase "sword and sorcery" as a genre.


message 27: by Marianne (new)

Marianne Boutet Jim C. Hines Magic ex Libris

Codex Born
Unbound
tbr: Revisionary

overall: ****

Bitten
Stolen
Dime Store Magic
Industrial Magic
Haunted
Broken
No Humans Involved
Personal Demon
Living with the Dead
Frostbitten
tbr: Waking the Witch
tbr: Thirteen

overall: ****

Gaah! This series - I enjoy it yet it makes me tear my hair out. There are so many "extras" and short stories that add so much to the series, yet are so confusing unless they are read "in order" (in time context) with the rest of the series. There is a good list at this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_o...


message 47: by Marianne (new)

Marianne Boutet Kevin Hearne The Iron Druid Chronicles

Hounded
Hexed
Hammered
Tricked
Trapped
Hunted
Shattered
tbr: Staked
tbr: Scourged

overall: ****+

Lots of short stories, prequels, etc. Start with Hounded.
