Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Remember our Turn Coat giveaway? Because to my shame I almost forgot about it myself. Alas, the first person whose number came up never responded, even after I found what I think was an alternate email, and by then it was the holiday weekend so I gave them some extra time, and then… I forgot. My bad.
So I did another dip into random.org, and this time, it was commentator #8, Mandy!
She responded to my message within minutes, and so the book is off to her! Congratulations, Mandy!
Our Turn Coat giveaway is on through Sunday night And while I’m very glad that it doesn’t look like I’m going to have to read Twilight (phew) a few more comments won’t hurt.
So, I come to find myself in possession of a copy of Jim Butcher’s Turn Coat, the latest Dresden Files novel. Butcher is a big favorite of many Jaders, and while I do mean to try the series eventually, I don’t think the eleventh book is the best place to start. So instead: Giveaway!
All you have to do to be in the running is answer one measly question here: Much like the Invincible one we last year, the winner will be decided by the mystical power of the random number generator.
As for that question… Well, I’ve decided, in the interest of fairness, that I should probably try at least one of those wildly popular urban fantasy books that have been spreading through the genre like wildfire. The problem is that aside from Butcher and Laurel K. Hamilton (been there, done that, not impressed) I really don’t have a clue as to where to start. So… I’m asking you guys to rec me some. Who’s your favorite novel-bound demon-slayer/werewolf-hunter/vampire-screwer? I eagerly (gulp) await your input. Convince me!

Fine print: U.S./Canada only, please. Use a valid e-mail address and NO SPOILERS. Only one comment per person – and be aware that if you haven’t commented on ClubJade.net before, your entry will have to be approved before it appears. (We reserve the right to reject inappropriate comments.) All entries will be approved before random.org is consulted. The winner will be contacted on June 29th, and must reply before July 1st or another will be chosen. Direct questions to dunc@clubjade.net. If we get a lot of comments… I will read and review Twilight. Seriously.
What I have read and enjoyed: Dean’s Tam Lin, Bull’s War for the Oaks, and Windling’s The Wood Wife. I seem to be incapable of getting into de Lint. Not exactly the leather-butt ladies crowding today’s shelves, though I did make it through two of Lackey’s Tregarde books with a shrug.
ETA: If you haven’t read any other urban fantasy, then give me one reason to start reading the Dresden Files ASAP.
