Question of little importance but indulge me, I'm just curious: How do ya'll pronounce "civilisation"? Linguistics and phonetics have always fascinated me :)

I like the alien angle and I think I like that the woman are humans and the men are vamps because I don't usually care about a female vamp

[stormsandsins]

See, I like when there aren't any racial differences, or at least when they're not played upon that much (or not mentioned, I guess). I think I like Gena Showalter's Lords of the Underworld because they don't rely on mating human women to subsist (at least, not as far as I've read?) I like when there are challenges between races and they figure out how to overcome it (i.e. that dude in the LotU series who can't touch anyone

[sireesanwar]

That is true. I guess I just saw it as a difference and left it at that. I really don't mind. Though, I agree that it is sad these women never get to have baby girls and then there is no daddies girl.

Hmmmm.... Okay I thought there was an alien reference but maybe I'm confusing the series.

I really hope you like the Riley Jensen series because at book two it just becomes so much better.

You might be right about the alien reference. God knows I skip most Omega parts so it might be in there with him whining about her babies ;)

I'll read Full Moon Rising next, how about that? ;)

[sireesanwar]

Who knows. I can't really remember. If I ever re-read the books I'll see.

Okay. I'm excited. I want to talk about books with someone and you read a lot of what I do so you are designated!

[stormsandsins]

I know I've re-read Z's book maaaaany times :) The cover's a bit scuffed :S

Haha I know, there aren't a lot of people on my flist who like reading or the same books I do. I recced BDB to a friend and she read Wrath's and gave up even when I told her I hated that book too. I should have told her to start with Z ;P Or any of the latter ones, really.

[sireesanwar]

She gave up! No way. I didn't like Wrath's book either but I figured out a long time ago that the first book has to introduce a lot and so it is often the worst one. The only exception being Outlander. *lol*

[stormsandsins]

I tend to read books out of order because I'll hook onto something in the synopsis of one book and then decide as I read it whether I'm prepared to subscribe to the whole thing. I certainly landed on jackpot by picking Z's book first. So proud of myself for that!

I just started the Riley Jenson book btw. I think I'm about a third in. Very reminiscent of this one Laurell K Hamilton book I picked up once... sex all the time with anyone! I suppose she'll settle down with Quinn though, mm? He sounds scrumptious :) They've just broken Rhoan out of that cloning place. BTW I totally call that Talon removed her anti-preggers chip and tried to impregnate her. :P

[sireesanwar]

You did. Z was scrumptious.

I've only read the first LKH book and I wasn't into it but I'm going to try more of her series.

I love Quinn but there is just a ton going on it this series. She's a young wolf who wants to be wild and free but it gets better and she calms a little which I like.

I called that too but, as I said, this is the worst of the books and the ones to come are more interesting and a little more mysterious.

[stormsandsins]

Meh, didn't like the wtf'ness of that Anita Blake book. Not feeling it.

Nice, something to look forward to :)
