  General: Info, Announcements & Introductions

  Hello all, sorry I also found the introduction area a little late. My name is Holli, I am 27 and live in Portland, OR. I'm soon to be married, have a 4 yr old, and am back in college getting my English degree. I love to read, anything and everything multiple times. (My fiance can't believe how many books I have accumulated over the years!) I will go ahead and say that I am also a follower of Eric - you know it's always the one they tell you that you aren't supposed to love that ends up being best for you!

  Other Book Recommendations.**THREAD CLOSED-READ ONLY**

  Hi Ladies, I've been lurking around your forum for awhile and finally decided to sign up. I have some recommendations for book series if you would like to stick with fantasy/urban/supernatural genres. First would be the Hollows Series by Kim Harrison - in these the 'supes' have all come out into the open after a virus wipes out a large number of the human population, equalizing their numbers with those of the supes. Her main character Rachel Morgan is a witch who works for the supe version of the FBI with a vampire partner. Great characterizations, humor, very much like the Sookie series. The Hollows Series

  Another great series is the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Set in Washington state, about a woman who is a 'walker', a Native American who can shift into a coyote and gets drawn into the local supernatural politics against her will. Great humor, wit, and a main character who also happens to be a Volkswagon mechanic. Should not be missed. The Mercy Thompson Series

  If you are looking for a single book, something you can enjoy without committing to a series, I would recommend trying out War For The Oaks, by Emma Bull. Although its older, it definitely broke ground in the urban fantasy genre. A down-on-her-luck musician runs into a phouka and gets drawn into the world of Faerie, and the ancient war between the Seelie and Unseelie courts. War for the Oaks

  And if you'd like to try some urban fantasy with a male protagonist try Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Set in Britain, a man stumbles across a bleeding woman in the street and discovers a whole different London beneath the subway systems. This is definitely The Wizard of Oz for grownups. Neverwhere
