As a Pisces, escapism at its best is found in fantasy. Well-written fantasy with a bit of romance is cool. Bad boy characters who turn out to be sort of good are great.

    She takes great care to make her worlds believable, and the character development is detailed/deep and drives the story. Readers can't help but feel it on a visceral level

    Have you read Lee Carroll's Black Swan? It's the first book in a trilogy. The second book, The Watchtower, just came out. I think you'd enjoy them. If you read them, let me know what you think.

    Hi! I've just finished the third book. I don't know how far you've gotten and don't want to spoil it for you, but holy cow!! Did you watch the series on TV? It's very true to the books. I really enjoyed both.

    I have to admit, I liked A Discovery of Witches a lot more than I thought I would. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Choker - was good but the animal cruelty bugged me.
    Persona Non Grata - was really good if you've read the first two it would help.
    Wildthorn - was good as well.

    of the three, perhaps Wildthorn might be something for you? I have yet to write up the review for that one but it was a good read :)

    Hi! Let me know how you like Discovery of Witches. I just read Dracula: The Un-dead by Dacre Stoker and I really enjoyed it.

    Hi there dreamer! OMG... your question is such a hard one for me to answer. For the past three months I've been soooo caught up in different series that at the time of reading each series has been my favorite flavor of the week! Each time I found a new author of a series I would immerse myself into the series totally and not read anything else until I had finished all the books in the series. But here goes:
    1. Michelle Sagara's Cast in Chaos series
    2. Mike Shepard's Kris Longknife series
    3. G. A. Aiken's Dragon Kin series
    also Ghost a'la Mode by Sue Ann Jaffarian this is basically a paranormal cozy mystery, but I really did enjoy it. Since they are styling it "the
    Granny Apple mysteries" I'm assuming that it will be a series.

    Of course, there are more... but I think I will stop here!

    Hi, sorry I didn't see your question earlier.

    I would definitely recommend Faithful Place by Tana French if you like crime novels/mysteries. It's not my usual genre, but her books were recommended by someone at work. Faithful Place is her third book, and by far the best. You don't need to read her first two books, as all three are stand alone. I do recommend her other books, though. Some of the characters are the same, just not the same story.

    Any suggestions for me?

    I have been expanding my reading circles lately, which is good. I did just finish reading Geek Love, which is a brilliant, sick book about a family that breeds its own freak show. I highly recommend it! I also just read The Heroes by Joe Abercrombie which was excellent, although very, very violent. Right now I am reading Patrick Rothfuss' second book The Wise Man's Fear. The first book is The Name of the Wind. If I think of anything else, I will let you know. Oh, Have you ever read Freda Warrington? Her first book Elfland was great. Please let me know if you read anything I should know about! Cheers!

    I'm afraid (I realize!) I'm not reading recent fiction. I'll tell you I got The dancers at the end of Time (Moorcock), a rather thick book, to read. So much for my adherence to the rule: pick thin books! Do you read Murakami or Borges or Flann O'Brien?

    Both Charles Todd books were excellent. If you like chick lit, Save the Date was a lot of fun and well-written. Honestly one of the best books I've read recently was Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Egg. It's a Tinker Bell story, but it was shockingly well written and the story had such depth. I read it with my daughter, and it was one of the best books we ever read together.

    it was ok. The first one was better. I'm not sure i will keep up with this series. I haven't really had time to read much. This quarter has been crazy. Have you read Beastly? i liked it. It's a modern day retelling to beauty and the beast. it is being turned into a movie.

    Shadowfever is the conclusion of the Karen Moning's Fever series, and so far it's good, but a little bit strange when compared to the other books. I guess when you find out the truth of things, it can be surprising and strange. I'm not nearly done with it yet, though. So much more to go.

    I did read Incarceron. Written on a very interesting premise, but I found I didn't really become deeply vested in any of the characters. I think I rated it a 3, but not sure. I think there's a sequel.

    My favorite books are all written by Laini Taylor. I particularly love Lips Touch Three Times. Unique stories, believable characters I instantly cared about or became intrigued by, and magical, eloquent writing that enchants the reader. Simply perfect. I love this author. To me, her skill is what every other author aspires to.
