Lalalala, look, a book post!

[leaveoutalltherest]

So, I went to the library. The main library downtown. Because the branch near my house is dinky. 8 miles round trip. I road through the UoA campus, it is pretty.

What did I get?

Four books by Anne Bishop "Daughter of the Blood", "The Invisible Ring", "Dreams Made Flesh", "Tangled Webs". They didn't have "Queen of Darkness" or "Heir to the Shadows", so I cheated and reserved them at other branches so that they would be delivered to my local branch. The girl said it usually takes a day or two. Whee.

So. Recommend me other authors.

Anyone who mentions the names McCaffrey, Lackey or Hamilton will be shot at dawn.



These are books I have put a hold on. Some of them may take a few weeks to get as there are people on the list ahead of me.

Seconding the Anno Dracula series, although it could be hard to find. (The series is a pastiche of all sorts of literary characters, and a few historical ones, set in a world where Count Dracula handily survived the events of the novel, and went on to marry Queen Victoria.)

P.N. Elrod's Vampire Files series (Noir with a vampire PI, set in 1930s Chicago) and the Jonathan Barret series (Same universe, set during the Revolutionary War).

Tanya Huff's Blood and Smoke & Shadows series (Urban fantasy/PI, with vampires, werewolves, and other assorted supernatural stuff.)

L.J Smith's Vampire Diaries is YA, but it's far better than the Twilight series. (She also wrote another YA series, Night World, but I don't recommend that.)
