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 finally got around to reading The Family Plot by Cherie Priest, and reading it while taking my nightly bath was a foolish choice. Why did I forget Cherie is an excellent horror author? How did I forget that?
The book is great, but there are some sections that are creepy as hell.
I really liked The House With Good Bones, but I wanted the main character to acknowledge that it was a haunting sooner.
I just got it from the library!
the next book in the Paladins series should be out later in the year
Sweet! I just recently finished Thornhedge and I didn't like it quite as much as I expected to. Can't pinpoint why either - I like the premise and the characters but the actual story I'm just not that into, I guess. So I was already wishfully hoping for more Paladins. I did like House with Good Bones rather a lot.
I've been reading The Doctrine of Labyrinths series which I guess Katharine Addison wrote under a different name and has been republished or something. It was a little slow to really grab me but now I'm pretty much obsessed with it (on the fourth book and I don't think there are any more, woes)
Although what I really want is the next Swordheart. Someday, I hope.
The Paladin books are the only Kingfisher books I’ve had trouble getting into. I think I’ll try the first one again but in audio form this time.
The Doctrine of Labyrinths
Melusine, which I think is the first book in the series, is on sale for Kindle right now ($1.99). [link]
That is the first book, yes. And, dang it, I paid $10!
Do the Paladin books and the Clockwork Boys books take place in the same universe?
Yes. I think there might be characters that appear in both? Could be wrong about that
