*****Warning: Blatant personal plug follows!*****

Hey, I didn't see my book in that list! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif
Why not try Reflections: Book One of The Erebus Equilibrium? There's an extract, review and synopis on this site, and you can even order the paperback version through Amazon now as well!

Cheers,

Neil

What's Club Vampire? never heard of it. Not an Anita Blake book...

But you made some good choices.

FitzFlagg: Since you are the moderator. What is the difference between a junior member and a member. How does one becomes a member? I am hardly a junior!! :-)))

OK I'll try to get everybody on this post

Erebus: I checked you site out and the story seems pretty interesting. You may be hearing from me soon.

Dennizm: Yeah by joining the SFBC I got 7 books for $1 (plus shipping) http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif can't be beat. I must have joined, quit and re-joined about 3 times now

FitzChivalry: Club Vampire is a 3-in-1 of the first 3 Anita Blake books. I picked up on your (as well as a couple others) recommendations http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/wink.gif in these forums.

Belgarion: You have to pay me $40 to become a "member" and stop the incessant Eddings plugging! (Just Kidding!) Seriously, once you have more than 30 posts you reach "member" status.

Belgarion:

I think the switchover from Junior Member to Member is at the 30th post.


As for new books I've picked up lately:

J.V. Jones's

Bakers Boy
Man Betrayed
Master And Fool
Cavern Of Black Ice

John Marco's

The Jackal of Nar
The Grand Design

I think my too read pile now needs its own bookcase... well over 80 books at this point...and more to come! muahahahah

FitzFlagg:

You were right about the Coldfire books... damn good..and very dark. I would have finished off the series this weekend, but my new subwoofer arrived on Thurs night and I ended up making the building shudder all weekend!

Don't think you will be disappointed with John Marco's books either.

... and I am certain you will not be dissapointed with the JVJ books... keep a look out for Bodger and Griff in The Book of Words, very funny http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

FF... shame on you with the book club http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif, hmmmm... maybe I'll try that as well http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
