My favorite read this week was Alissa Johnson's A Talent for Trickery (Thief Takers #1) which just edged out A Gift for Guile (Thief Takers #2).

I also read her A Dangerous Deceit (Thief Takers #3) as well as Amanda Bouchet's Of Fate and Fire (The Kingmaker Chronicles #3.5) and A Curse of Queens (The Kingmaker Chronicles #4).

Currently rereading Lindsay Buroker's Wrenched in audio.



Only 40 more days until Resonance Surge (it's Thursday evening EDT for me)/42 days for the Gollancz edition. So excited!

Magic Claims by Ilona Andrews. If you wonder why you may see Magic Clams, from what I understand, is Amazon either misspelled the title or those who were looking for the book misspelled it. Either way it's a great book. 😎

I'm with Patricia 100% So Crazy in Love with πŸ’–Magic Claims (Magic Clams😎) by Ilona Andrews πŸ’– This is how to brilliantly spin off a Fantastic Series that cannot be concluded! Focus on the same HEA couple: Kate & Curran plus their son Colan! And I also Love a bonus of a short & sweet & heartbreaking snippet No Heroes πŸ’– on their Blog for us readers as a Thank You from the authors to celebrate an awesome release day!

Every time I see this topic come up here, I realize it's been a long time since I've read something I've really loved, or even liked strongly, come to think of it. I've managed to read a few different fiction books, but I'm just not finding anything that I can post about on here and say "I really enjoyed this". I've been making some progress with the early Guild Hunter books, but I'm finding the graphic violence and sex to be too much for me. Especially Elena's flashbacks. I'm glad I started at the end of the series instead of the beginning or I'd never have gotten into it and discovered Sharine or Illium, Aodhan, Elena or Raphael.

I read an old Robert Adams Horseclans book, and got reminded of how much I love the premise of women warriors among desert nomads, (Robin McKinley's The Blue Sword being the best), but unfortunately this book skipped over most of those parts of the character's life, and left me disappointed. Then I wasted a bunch of time trying to find books of a similar nature without success. Anybody have any ideas? I'm currently trying to talk myself into reading book two of Jennifer Roberson's Sword Dancer series.

@kim maybe try to find Tara K Harper's CatScratch Fever books. May need to search 2nd hand stores but it's sci-fi with with a desert type setting.
