Laga, those are the books that the (great) show True Blood is based on. DW is reading them now and has deemed them fluffy fun.

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Thanks, GC. Does DW have an opinion about reading them out of order?

I don't know about the order, but my wife loves them, too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I started reading them out of order, Laga, and didn't find it to be a problem. Though I did go back and start at the beginning after I realized it was a series, because that is what I do.

I read the first of the Mercy Thompson books by Patricia Briggs yesterday and really enjoyed it. I ordered books 2 and 3 today because the bookstore was out of them, but I was wondering what people thought of her other series? Any particular ones better than others?

The status is NOT quo.
I love all of Briggs' series, but her Mercy Thompson books are my favorite. You might also like Ilona Andrews' books, sj, if you haven't read them.

She's got a couple other books (Alpha and Omega?) in the same "universe" as the Mercy books, sj, which I also enjoyed, though not as much. I haven't read her other books, though.

Her magic series is pretty good too, but more tradiional fantasy fare. The Alpha and Omega series is fun, but I agree that nothing beats Mercy.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I would also recommend Dragon Bones and Dragon Blood, which are "traditional" fantasy. I think they have a fresh take on the genre, and like them a lot.
