I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Cry Wolf | Patricia Briggs

pick

Patricia Briggs has a really compelling way of telling a story that I really appreciate — and this was no exception. An extension of the Mercy Thompson universe, this story hits the ground running and never really slows down. Werewolf politics, ancient history, dark witches, mysterious murders — it‘s all a rollercoaster that comes to a relatively satisfying conclusion. Will definitely read more in this series.

CatLass007 I love Patricia Briggs! I particularly love The World of Mercy Thompson. I keep forgetting that Adam is a blonde, for some reason. I just picture him with black hair. I started a reread of Mercy Thompson‘s world but got stalled because there are so many new books I want to read. (edited) 1mo

BookBr @CatLass007 Isn‘t she a great author?! The Alpha and Omega series seems like it will be not quite as excellent — Mercy is such a strong character, she‘s hard to match — but definitely worth a read! 1mo

CatLass007 I think the Alpha and Omega series gets better. I found a website that lists books in order. And there is a different website for the world of Mercy Thompson, that lists the mercy Thompson series, the Alpha and Omega series, and all the short stories and novellas in chronological order. I‘m going by that list right now as I do my rereading. So much information in each series is complementary to the other. 1mo

Cycle of the Werewolf | Stephen King

This brief werewolf tale was a total treat. The conceit of each chapter being one month of the year was clever. I loved the illustrations, and was genuinely shocked at the werewolf identity reveal. I do have to take away a star, though. I‘m sad to report that I‘ve realized that 1980s SK suffered from a terrible case of fatphobia. I do not see this in his later novels, but it‘s so obvious in these earlier ones. (And I‘m reading Thinner next. 🤦‍♀️)

I remember watching the film when I was younger and Werewolf films were all the rage. It was so long ago, but I seem to remember it was more ecological and thoughtful than this book which is straight up pulpy horror. I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Cry Wolf | Patricia Briggs

pick

I've been (re)listening to Patricia Brigg's Alpha & Omega series, narrated by Holter Graham. So far: Cry Wolf, Hunting Ground, Dead Heat, and Fair Game.

I think Dead Heat is my fav of the series, with Fair Game a close second. The background story arcs of politics and the supernatural are fascinating.

The Wolfen | Whitley Strieber

My #tbr this 24-hour #readathon
Plus the tagged book, which is on my kindle.
I'm halfway through 'Salem's Lot and would like to finish it this weekend, but I'll probably take breaks to read some of the other books.

julesG Isn't it a 25-hour readathon for you, too? Or did you go back to Winter Time already? 8mo

Leniverse @julesG Oh excellent, I forgot about that 😂 Although technically, I only need 13 hours. I read 11 last weekend because Thing 2 is busy this weekend and wanted to do the readathon early. 8mo
