Okay, I finished Passage by Connie Willis. I liked it, but it was a tad disturbing. If you read it let me know what you think.
So, for those of you who read paranormals–what is your favorite? I really like Kelly Armstrong. She is my new discovery. Anyone I should try? Also, what creature do you think is most underutilized in books? Oooo, let’s make that a contest.
Okay, so here is the game. Name the creature/being (ghosts, zombie, mermaids, dragons, etc.) you think is most underutilized today in books and why. I’ll pick a winner next week sometime. The prize will be…let me root around in my cupboard for a second…Unlaced by Kristina Cook! It is the first in her Un series, so if you haven’t read anything by her it is a great place to start. :)
Good Luck!

Golems- they are such interesting little creatures who can talk with the strangest things.

by Corrina Goentzel October 20th, 2005 at 6:42 pmAfter much thought and consideration :)…it is a tie for me between two creatures/beings…A)I believe that dragons are underutilized. I love dragons. Dragonheart, with Sean Connery as the voice of the dragon, is one of my favorite movies. However, I have not been able to find any good books with dragons. Any recommendations? B) My second choice for underutilized creatures/beings would be ghosts or spirits. I enjoy watching television shows where ghosts interact with humans, but have not read or been able to find that many books which portray these interactions. Maybe I am just looking in the wrong place because I am not entirely familiar with paranormals. Again I would welcome recommendations.
by Jennifer Yates October 20th, 2005 at 7:14 pmHi Laura. I already have Kristina’s book in my TBR, but wanted to answer anyway. I love reading romances about merfolk and sea creatures, but rarely find any about selkies. I like reading the few I’ve found over the years because their is that decision to be made - will the selkie be able to give up his/her love of the sea to live on land.
by Pamela Pellini October 20th, 2005 at 11:47 pmI believe those would be zombies. I’ve seen movies with zombies in them, but none in books so far.
by Sanjay October 21st, 2005 at 10:43 amI’ve never read a romance book with a mummy in it. I think that’d be tough to make a romance story out of. LOL I’d like to see more romances about selkies like Pam mentioned.
I haven’t read any books by Kelly Armstrong yet but have a few on my TBB list. I like Christine Feehan and MaryJanice Davidson.
