What the Wenches Are Reading

By -

It's that time again! You may not be surprised at what most of the Wenches are reading this week....


Amanda: I read The Gravedigger's Brawl by Abigail Roux. It was a great little spooky read with the endearing characters that Abi is so adept at writing. Since Iced comes out next week, I don't plan to start anything new this week. That means that I can finally give in and read Ty and Zane again. Now which one will it be? I love them all!


 Anne: I finished the Downside Ghosts series! I adore Terrible so, so much! I also finished the audiobook of A Clash of Kings. So, I'm moving right on to A Storm of Swords. As far as books go, I'm not sure where I'm going next. Iced comes out in a week, so I don't want to start a new series. I may catch up on a James Patterson I've been putting off.

Angela: Nearly finished Lionheart by Sharon Kay Penman. It seems to be taking forever but nearly there. Also reading Unholy Magic by Stacia Kane. Just started, but enjoying so far.

Barbara: Dreamfever now, hopefully Shadowfever in the next couple of days.

Beta: I'm having a terrible Fever and I love it. I'm still basically going back and forth between all the books. Barrons and Mac are da bombs and take my breath away!


Donna: Good news - I finally have something new to report! I finished Darkfever and immediately started to read Bloodfever. It's such a treat being able to start the next book right away, because it really is one really long story. I'm off this week, so I should be able to do plenty of reading, writing and get caught up on things around the house.

Katherine: I'm reading Pretty Kitty, my all time favorite Eric and Sookie fan fiction.


Kathi: Faefever, Dreamfever, and Shadowfever!!! How I love being back in the Fever world!


Margo: Dreamfever and Shadowfever (yes, again until Iced) and Reflected in You by Sylvia Day (loving the Crossfire series!).

Naomi: Shadowfever. And nothing else matters.

Veronica: Dreamfever and Shadowfever. Finally!

Zee: Finished Bared to You, and almost done with Reflected in You. Mixed feelings about both. But do love the characters, and very very emotional books. Probably going to pick up Broken by Megan Hart next. And still keep going back to Fever. It's an addiction...


So, dear followers, what are you reading this week?

    I missed this round, but I'm reading Dreamfever. If I keep this pace I could read Fever twice until Iced is released.

Created by Olga Daniels What better way to prepare for the impending release of the next Black Dagger Brotherhood novel, Lover at Last by J. R. Ward, than to relive some of our favourite scenes in the previous books?! Some of these scenes were selected by multiple Wenches, others are just personal favourites. One is. Clearly. The. Wench. Favourite. It won't be hard to tell which one! After the jump, see which scenes made us ooh, ahh, and pant for more.

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu...

When The Music's Over

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti...

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -

Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us...

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

By -

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s...
