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"

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Ooh, this new one should be fun to watch, considering that one company that has used the title Dragonslayer in commerce (including a novelization) is Disney... In 1981.

Oh man, Disney will sue daycare centers for trademark infringement. Trying to trademark something they've had media under the name of for almost half a century? [link]
