Jasmine Guillory had an event here last week with a couple of local literary folks, and one of the things they did was recommend other romances to read -- and since the event was put on by a local bookstore, you could buy them right there. So that's why I'm currently reading Single White Vampire, and it is a hoot! His new editor thinks he's just a creative novelist, but no! He's a 600-year-old vampire.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Has anyone else read Wen Spencer's books? I'm currently enjoying Black Wolves of Boston - a different take on werewolves.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Henry! Became a short-lived but pretty tv series with Christina Cox and Dylan Neal.

I haven't read that one but one of my favorite books ever (A Brothers Price) is Wen Spencer

I discovered her when I picked up a sort-of SF/mystery book - Alien Taste and its sequel, Tainted Trail (I may have the order reversed). I liked A Brother's Price as well. Having decided she could write, I've been getting - and enjoying - about everything else she's written. Since I re-read, I had to wait for this last one to come out in paperback.

Yeah, I think I have most of her books until a few years ago, I haven't re-read them in a while (whereas brothers price is comfort re-reading for me)

I've enjoyed the Tinker/Elfhome series as well.

Where's a good place to start with Wen Spencer - I need something new. She seems to have a bunch of series. Are they related?
None of them are available online from my local library, darn it.

Well, there's A Brother's Price, which is a standalone; Black Wolves of Boston is as well (so far - it's recently out in paperback). If you're going to go with the Elfhome books, start with Tinker - it has the background, worldbuilding, etc. For the SF/mystery, I think it's Alien Taste is the first, followed by A Tainted Trail; there are two more which I found disappointing.
