'Safe'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I like the InCryptid a lot. Wasn't as big a fan of the brother but loooooved the "so you think you can dance" takeoff in the last book.
I didn't like Every Heart as much as expected. Saw some reviews later that articulated issues I couldn't but now don't remember where. Did read a good Yuletide fic or two in that universe
REALLY looking forward to hearing Antimony's POV. Also love Indexing and thinking I should look into Velveteen vs., except I'm still a couple books behind on Toby Daye and...seriously, how does she do it?
(Also read Sparrow Hill Road - Liked, not Loved - and still have Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day to get to on my Kindle. Not to mention Mira Grant stuff. She's an android or something, isn't she?)

Me, too! Although what I desperately want is books from Alice's POV.
I found Alice a little disappointing in Chaos Choreography. Although maybe something from her POV, and especially following some of her extra-dimensional travels, would give what her character was missing there.
Have you read any of the short stories?
My favorites of McGuire are InCryptid and Indexing. Toby Daye never quite captured me.

The InCryptid stories on her website? I've read a lot of those.
I'm only just getting started on those, so from your reaction, I guess I can look forward to the Alice stories!
Psst, it's Velveteen vs.
Yes, of course! I blame my children's required cards for tomorrow.
Toby I loved, then was meh, and am recently back to love. I thought Sparrow Hill Road was nice but not memorable. The Mira Grant stuff has all been enjoyable - in some ways I liked the Parasite series more than the Newsflesh series, but I think Newsflesh was actually better by most measures. I just like parasites more than zombies.
Somehow Amazon didn't tell me about Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day, so thanks! Only 2.99 on Kindle right this moment, so that's cool. And Every Heart a Doorway is available in eBook form AND audiobook form through my library right now! Though I'm currently on a Star Wars audiobook kick, so I'll probably stick with the eBook for that one. Yay libraries!

This. The InCryptid books were my first McGuires, and somehow I didn't warm to the Toby Daye series so much when I tried it. Just such a different tone.
I really didn't love the first couple of Toby stories — her writing gets much better as the series goes on (which benefited the InCryptid series). Now I can't get enough of them.
