Shifting Shadows by Patricia Briggs (an anthology of 10 short stories (plus 2 'outtakes') that take place in the world of her Mercy Thompson & Alpha & Omega series).

I liked it. Granted, one of the short stories I already have in two other books (The "Alpha & Omega" short story) and have read several times, but the other stories I really enjoyed. In Particular:

Silver which tells of how Samuel first met Arianna (who readers first met in Silver Borne (Mercy Thompson book #5)). It also gives us a look at how Samuel became a werewolf along with his father, Bran (who would become the leader of all North American wolves)

In Red, with Pearls (takes place between Silver Borne (MT#5) and River Marked (MT#6)) is a bit of a mystery featuring the werewolf Warren trying to figure out who hired someone to kill his boyfriend. I liked this one because it ended up explaining something that I was confused about in Frost Burned (MT#7). In FB (spoilers for both FB and for this short story) [BLACKOUT]Adam mentions that their witch for hire, Elizaveta, had lost two of her apprentices due to the wolves. I was confused during my re-read of that book because I only recalled one of her apprentices being lost due to the wolves - in the very first Mercy Thompson book, and couldn't recall any of the previous books mentioning a second one lost as a result of problems with the wolves.[/BLACKOUT] - this short story explains away my confusion with that - but it also meant that early on the story, I kind of figured the mystery out.

I also really loved Redemption (takes place between Frost Burned (MT#7) and Night Broken (MT#8)). It's from British werewolf Ben's point of view, he's a wolf that I've been intrigued by for a while - particularly since Iron Kissed, and I'm glad that Briggs delved a little deeper into what makes him tick as well as having him grow as a character in this story (and his alternatives to not swearing had me laughing out loud).

[squeekness]

Deeply Odd -- Dean Koontz

 

[Bran The Man]

Just bought Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. So far it's a pretty good book!

 

[breadtalk]

Harry potter and the goblet of fire by j.k. rowling

 

[The Navigator]

Nemo: Roses of Berlin and Nemo: Heart of Ice, by Alan Moore. Nice stuff, some surprising crossover things.

 

[ComicChick]

halfway through Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead

 

[Victarion]

Dust of Dreams by Steven Erikson. An apt title that applies to the majority of the novels characters. Hopes + dreams + ideals = grounded into dust. Far from being entirely hopeless, the characters are given moments of lucidity in which they realize the importance of their ideals. Often, it is too late to act on those realizations. The Bonehunters had the most interesting breaking, running into an army thousands strong of what can only be described as a synthesis of tyrannosaurus rexes and xenomorphs.

 

[Roadkill]

The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath -- H.P. Lovecraft

 

[queenkale]

Almost through Charlotte Bronte's "Tales of Angria." It's a bit slow and I have a hard time remembering who everyone is, but it's still enjoyable.

 

[Ravenna]

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 

[ComicChick]

i started Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead today

 

[Roadkill]

The Burrowers Beneath -- Brian Lumley

 

[Silvermoon]

I just finished both Seven Forges (Seven Forges #1) and The Blasted Lands (Seven Forges #2) by James A. Moore

 

[CrypticOne]

About 100 more pages of The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson left. Great book. Gonna start Star Wars: A New Dawn, right after.

 

[Enriquespy]

Fear and Loathing in las Vegas.

 

[KevanG]

I'm reading the Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcher. I think I'm on the 7th or 8th by now. It's pretty good as it's a lot like the Anita Blake series which was one of my favorite series until it turned to porn, until then it was a well written series.
