pickOverall, I‘m giving this a pick, as I really do like Stephen Graham Jones unique storytelling style. It‘s definitely not my favorite of his books. This feels more like a character study and/or a series of essays. The subject happens to be werewolves. So the prose can be a bit meandering and disconnected. Still worth checking out if you are a fan of the author. 3.5⭐️
#roll100 pick done!
pickLast of my catch-up reviews for this week.
Book 2 in the Mercy Thompson series. It started off a bit slow with some repetitive info from book 1 (I understand this is necessary, but in this case it slowed down the beginning). However once our Mercy got roped into the vampire‘s problem it picked up. We find out more about the vampire seethe and how it works. We also got a bit more about Mercy‘s walker powers & some werewolf politics of course.
pickReading this series in full is one of my 2025 goals. I read this book 15+ years ago & loved it. It was borrowed from a friend at the time so I have not revisited the series since. I‘ve been itching to revisit it & have managed to collect most of the books from secondhand stores.
Since it‘s been so long, I remembered none of the plot so it was almost like reading it for the first time. So good! I love Mercy & am excited to see what she does next.

I forgot how much of a comfort read this is for me. It makes me more excited than I already was to reread the series. I think my favorite part of this first book is how Mercy stumbles into this role we see for her throughout the series just because she‘s trying to be a good person and not judging people based on the type of creature they are. And the discovery of just how powerful Walkers can be is only just starting. #reread
Rumor has it this should be coming out this year but there is not info other than Briggs is working on it so it may not.
That being said this is my most anticipated release of whenever it ends up coming out.
pickI recently discovered graphic audiobooks in the last year. Now I‘m working through my old favourites (like this one) as well as new finds
What do you think of Graphic Audio “a movie in your mind”??
so-soI got this because there‘s a talking raccoon. Was a little disappointed that the raccoon was a smaller part than I wanted. Overall, it‘s an okay read. Could have definitely used several rereads and strong editing, but the story was fun once you get past the odd sentence structure and dialogue issues, but not gonna lie….it takes a lot.
October had some good but not great books & so my #12BooksOf2024 ended up being this 7th book in a paranormal romance series I enjoy.🤷🏻♀️ Now November was a great reading month & it will be a struggle to pick a favorite.
Honorable Mentions include: Vampires of El Norte (audiobook), So Hungry
pickI started off not liking how ridiculous the premise seemed and then got sucked in and really enjoyed myself.
