jmc_bksI've just sent an SOS to The Biochemist and I'll share it here, too.
I'm in need of a really good book to read. The nonfiction selections I'm working on are fine, but there has been a serious slump on the fiction front. Heroines I want to bitch-slap. Heroes who suffer from rectal-cranial inversion. Pr0nish, pointless sex and unbelievable avowals of adoration. Sleuths who can’t find their way out of a paper bag. Too many vampires, werewolves, and Others.
Need a book recommendation for vacation, please.
And a follow up note: C appreciated all of the paranormal/urban fantasy recommendations I gave using your suggestions. She's devoured Carrie Vaughn's series and started on Lilith Saintcrow's.
