The List Never Seems to Get Any Shorter

By -
As you know, we love reading! Our friends and family know that we love reading, too, making them always ready with helpful book recommendations. Which just ensures that our TBR (To-Be-Read) lists are constantly growing, no matter how many books we finish! What a wonderful problem to have!

Click through to see which books top our 2013 TBR lists, minus all of the series continuations that we won't be able to resist. Then let us know what's on your TBR list!




Olga: The Abby Sinclair series by Allison Pang, then Andrea Speed's Infected series, and Deborah Harkness's All Souls Trilogy.

Beta: Well, I am very excited to read the Downside Ghosts series and see how I'll like it! Ooh, if the Lord John Grey series counts (since I'm already reading Outlander), that's definitely on my list, and also the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs.

Jaymie: I was thinking Channeling Morpheus. Haven't decided yet.

Barbara: I want to read those Jane True books by Nicole Peeler that Beta keeps quoting, as well as the Georgina Kincaid books by Richelle Mead.

Donna: Into the Wilderness by Sara Donati – it's the first book in a series a la Outlander. In fact, I heard some Outlander characters make a cameo!

Kathi: The Downside Ghosts series for me, too! Along with the Lord John Grey series. And I had forgotten about the Donati books...they sounded intriguing. Plus I've been planning to get to Deborah Harkness's All Souls Trilogy after the due date for the final book gets closer.

Merit: Oh so many: Into the Wilderness is one, The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman, the Lord John Grey series by Diana Gabaldon, and Raven Girl by Audrey Niffenegger, just to name a few.

Anne: OK, I've finally made a decision. In addition to catching up on a couple of non-UF series that I've fallen behind on, the books that are burning a hole in my Nook, waiting to be read, are The Passage by Justin Cronin, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, and In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin by Erik Larson.

Veronica: A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. I've had the series for several months, and I think my goal for 2013 is to read at least the first two by the end of the year. Maybe the first three, to be caught up with the show.

Angela: I'm dying to read The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

Amanda: Special Forces by Aleksandr Voinov, A Song of Ice and Fire, and Outlander.

      Krista, now would be a GREAT time to read Chicagoland Vampires, since House Rules releases on February 5. What perfect timing! :)

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...

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)

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...
