Hi everyone
Just a quick post to notify you of a readalong of Rosemary and Rue (October Daye #1, by Seanan McGuire). Organised by the lovely Lisa at Over the Effing Rainbow. The details are over here on goodreads – the schedule is below. I’ve been wanting to start this series for a long time and so this is the perfect opportunity to share thoughts and banter on a series that enjoys a lot of reader love! There are quite a few in the series so no doubt the readalongs will continue if everyone is enjoying them.
- Week 1: Saturday 9th January, Chapters 1-6, hosted by Over the Effing Rainbow
- Week 2: Saturday 16th January, Chapters 7-14, hosted by (me) Lynn at Lynn’s Books
- Week 3: Saturday 23rd January, Chapters 15-20, hosted by Anya at On Starships and Dragonwings
- Week 4: Saturday 30th January, Chapters 21-End, hosted by Over the Effing Rainbow
A little bit about the first book:
October “Toby” Daye, a changeling who is half human and half fae, has been an outsider from birth. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the Faerie world, retreating to a “normal” life. Unfortunately for her, the Faerie world has other ideas…
The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unable to resist Evening’s dying curse, which binds her to investigate, Toby must resume her former position as knight errant and renew old alliances. As she steps back into fae society, dealing with a cast of characters not entirely good or evil, she realizes that more than her own life will be forfeited if she cannot find Evening’s killer.

As part of Stainless Steel Droppings 2016 Sci Fi Experience which runs through 1st December to close of January (details here) I’m going to blog a quote (or two) from a different sci fi movie each day. See if you can guess the film. Yesterday was Terminator 2 (and now I want to watch it again!).
Today’s quotes (because I couldn’t choose just one):
‘Bring back life form. Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.’
‘The damn company. What about our lives, you son of a bitch?’
‘I repeat, all other priorities are rescinded.‘
**
‘Mother! I’ve turned the cooling unit back on. Mother!’
**
‘Come on, cat.‘
