TBR of a Saucy Wench

By -


Do you have a lot of books on your e-reader or bookcase waiting to be read? I do, and today I sat down to make a list of them, partially to remind myself about these books that I had wanted to read and had forgotten about.

I thought I'd share these books with our Saucy Readers, and I asked a few Wenches what books they were hoarding, too. There's quite the eclectic collection.
Dear books:
We're sorry we have neglected you.
It's not your fault,
the blame lies entirely with us.




The reasons books are downloaded or purchased from a bookstore are varied. It's very easy to buy multiple novels when visiting your favorite book website. Maybe they were having a sale, maybe you found other books by a new author you love. A few clicks, and they're yours. One of my favorite things to do is to visit the bookshop. I have spent many happy hours going up and down the aisles, browsing through the titles, discovering books both old and new. Sometimes it's the author's name, recommendations from friends or shop staff, bestsellers list, book reviews, or the book jacket itself that grabs my attention.

Why are these books forgotten? Sometimes it's because real life is just too busy, whether it's work, family, or other obligations. Maybe you've gotten hooked on Netflix and just have to watch every single episode of Dr. Who before you do anything else. *shifty eyes* Sometimes, a new book is published that you've been awaiting anxiously for months or years (hello, Diana Gabaldon), and everything else is pushed off the table, so to speak.

So without further ado, here are books (in no particular order) that are on our To Be Read lists.

Looking over the books on the other Wenches' TBR lists, it looks like I'll be adding quite a few of these to my own list. Oh dear! It looks like we really have our work cut out for ourselves! So many books, so little time....

What about you, reading enthusiasts? Do you have lots of books on your TBR lists? Doesn't it just bug you, knowing that you've spent your hard-earned money on books you know you'll love, but just haven't found the time to read? Hopefully, we'll all have some time off soon to catch up. I could go for a week or two of peaceful solitude right about now!

Black Dagger Brotherhood: Scenes That Left us Begging for More

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...
