Ya, the tv show had promise but the character where nothing like the books and not only in physical appearance, and I just couldn’t get into it.

I actually use Audible
https://www.audible.com/

and I have been using them for over 10yrs now. I only pay $14.00 every other month and that comes with a free credit after I pay my bill. A credit will get you any book you want and looking through there inventory they have the whole series. A membership includes

  • 1 credit per month, good for any title—plus free Audible Originals each month

  • Easy listening with the free Audible app—at home, in the car, or in the gym

  • Exclusive audio-guided wellness programs

  • Quick and easy exchanges on listens they don’t love

Also, you can do like I do and pay every other month which is much cheaper.

Your first month is free and when you sign up you get a free book also. here is a link in case you are interested. It is not an affiliate. If you decide to do it I will also give you a book.

So much better than TV

I just picked up “Relic” with a credit. It looks like a good read and sounds kinda like “The Dresden Files”

The Pendergast series has small bits of super/paranormal stuff but it’s more action/FBI/police/mystery/murder/who-dun-it but they’re really well written and paced similarly to the Dresden Files. Sprinkled with a bit of humor, here and there.

One of my favorite series. I’m on the second to last book, as we speak, LOL.

I prefer detective stories. I’m currently reading The Snowman by Jo Nesbo. I really like it.

I enjoy mostly non fiction. Autobiographies, true crime, history, with a bit of erotica thrown in for good measure. I lived at the library as a kid and used book stores.
I found this website recently… I won’t say what book I recently checked out because it’s very very naughty. :smirk:

The Internet Archive serves millions of people each day and is one of the top 300 web sites in the world. Books published prior to 1923 are available for download, and hundreds of thousands of modern books can be checked out through the open library.

You might like the two series by Laurell K. Hamilton, then. She has the Anita Blake, vampire hunter series and the Merry Gentry, fae series. They aren’t nonfiction or autobiographical but they are great fun in a supernatural erotica sense.

It has been a long long time sense I even picked up the bible. I used to be a minister. I went to Christ for the Nations Institute and Dallas Baptist University and made my living as a minister for 15 yrs or so but I got burned out and then all of my studies came crashing down around my head and I couldn’t be an Elite Christian any more.

If anybody’s wondering, I’m not dead, only to the world, blame @Wombatred26 for getting me into the Pendergast series.

Just finished Brimstone and straight into Dance of Death :grin:

Don’t know about werewolves, but vampires are definitely real.
They just got the story wrong, they don’t suck blood, they suck energy.
I was raised by one.
Fortunately they’re not immortal :coffin:

Back to Pendergast :wave:

Wow, still trying to finish “Acceptance”. I look forward to getting that out of the way.

I was going to read those next, but I was prodded by someone to read Mark Haddon’s “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” first - so I’m gonna do that :slight_smile:
