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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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.

the illegitimate son of Henry VIII was a vampire and supported himself by writing romances.

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.

Thanks.

Also, I looked at my bookshelves last night and realized there are two other standalones I'd forgotten - Endless Blue, which is more science-fictiony, and Eight Million Gods ... which is kind of weird.
