I just finished Pocket Apocalypse by Seanan McGuire and I liked but probably not as much as the other InCryptid books. I haven't read the short stotie that go along with that series. I need to do that..
What I really want to read is another book from the Indexing universe but I don't know if she has plans for that.
Never really got into the October Daye series but I may give that another try.
askye,
The next "season" of Indexing will start in August. Pre-orders are on Amazon now.
I've read all the InCryptid books, but the first two were my favorites by far. I miss Verity!
I think the next one goes back to Verity again.
Cool I'll go and pre order right now! I really like the world building in that one,
I got all settled down to the idea of re reading the InCryptid series but then I realized I've turned in my phone for charging (uh, I'm in an inpatient psych situation right now) so I may try to read on the chromebook, I assue there's a kindle app for it but maybe not. I knew I should have had my actual kindle brought with me.
Uh - anyone have suggestions for some good free/cheap ebooks I can download and read I keep picking bad ones.
I think the next one goes back to Verity again.
Yep. Verity is fun but I also like Alex and how his reaction to everything is SCIENCE!!
I haven't read the short stotie that go along with that series. I need to do that..
Yes, they're really good!! I heart Johnny and Frannie.
Indexing Season 2 Pre Ordered!! Ready and waiting for it.
I liked Pocket Apocolaypse and I'd kind like to see how Raina and Gabby work on changing the Thirty Sixers but I thought it could have had more story. But then I was skimming for the most part.
I really need to give the October Daye stories another try.
I've been reading Seanan McGuire's Velveteen e-books (compilations of short stories). They're entertaining and, since each is very short, good to read on the bus.
If you don't know them, the premise is that there are superheroes (and villains) and The Super Patriots Inc. essentially buys children from their parents, trains them, markets them, and has them out fighting evil. Velveteen (whose power is animating toys ... which is deadlier than you'd think) leaves them when she turns 18. And the stories continue from there.
Quote from what I was reading earlier, "How anyone could look perky in a corset before noon" (which seemed especially Buffista-relevant).

Interesting. Kind of reminds me of Mur Lafferty's Playing for Keeps. The main character has a superpower that prevents anyone from taking anything that belongs to her--if they try, they get frozen in place until she releases them. This power is considered too passive and lame for her to be admitted to the organization of superheroes. But as the story progresses it turns out there's more to her powers than she knew.
