Third in the Moon Called series (apparently a fourth will be released soon). Entertaining and above-average light fantasy, but I think I've had my fill of brain candy, albeit good brain candy, for awhile... 39. Blood Bound
Sequel to Moon Called, and equally entertaining. FlossieT - I think that you'll like A Mercy - I really did. I felt like I should read it really slowly just to savor the beautiful phrases. But it was only the 2nd of Morrison's books that I've read. (I've also read Beloved.) I'd like to read another. Which one of hers is your favorite? the book Moon Called by Patricia Briggs.
I'm sure the ISBN was there when I added the book from LoC - and noticed when it arrived in my catalogue that the cover was missing (just my default cover was showing).
That's how I realised that the ISBN was blank in my catalogue.
Trouble ... Both A Mercy and The Hour I First Believed came out just today. I had pretty much decided on the Toni Morrison. Yes, she loves that chew thing and is sleeping with it right now.
(I have no idea why the touchstone brings up "Moon Called" instead of "A Mercy". How odd.) ... to leave them alone, hoping that it increases the odds for LTers in those countries. However, I might have had to try for A Mercy by Toni Morrison and The Island at the End of the World by Sam Taylor if they had been available in the US. They look very interesting. 36. Moon Called
Lucky for me, my sister reads gobs of light fantasy, sifting through all the crap and giving me the few GOOD fluff fantasy books out there. This is a werewolf etc. book that was very entertaining and kept me up late on a "school night", which is something I rarely do. Pretty ... ... to Feehan in tone and storyline.

Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson books; Moon Called, Blood Bound and Iron Kissed are very good. I'll echo that. I really liked Moon Called and Blood Bound.

When I got home I took a run up to Borders to pick up a present for a friend whose party is tomorrow. I bought her Moon Called and Blood Bound by Patricia Briggs. I'm pretty sure she'll like them. (hopefully!)

I have checked out a few of these recently, and romance not really a feature of Moon Called much at all.

Having checked out a few of these ... ... novels. The some of the more recent ones have urban fantasy overtones.
Patricia Briggs Mercy series, starts with Moon Called
Rachel Caine's Morganville vampires series, the 1st is Glass Houses, which is technically in the teen section, I think.
Karen Chance wrote Touch ... >54 If you like paranormal urban fantasy you could try Patricia Briggs' books Moon Called and Blood Bound. They're not really romances, although there is a little bit of romance in them. I agree, the cover for Secrets is pretty bad, but the story is really, really good.
There is Moon Called but it is not catagorized as YA. It is an urban fantasy. I don't think it really had anything too objectionable in it. It would probably be okay for older teens.
I recently read a story ... All of Patricia Briggs' books have a romance subplot, although it is probably weakest in her Dragons duology. She's just great for hinting at the romance without revealing too much. ... it's written, but the publishers aren't interested in it right now. Bummer.
Blood Bound is definitely better than Moon Called. Most recently I purchased Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl, Moon Called By Patricia Briggs, The Radon File by Denise Vitola and Myths for the Modern Age by Win Scott Eckert. My favorites right this very moment are Moon Called and the Aisling Grey novels by Kelley Armstrong. I hear that Blood Bound is already being sold at Borders and plan to go pick up a copy over the weekend :-) Amazon still has it as a pre-order. ... Split Infinity, Blue Adept and Juxtaposition.
Currently my tastes run more towards urban fantasy. I recently read Moon Called by Patricia Briggs and loved it. Also, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is my favorite story. Both of these are the beginnings of series. I think the sequel to Moon Called is coming out at the end of this month. I'm looking forward to it :-) I'll probably order it from Amazon and add it to my tbr pile.
I'm also planning to read more of Patricia Briggs' works in the future. And Moon Called is so short! I should be able to read it pretty fast if I ever got off line. #33 I liked Moon Called enough to look for a few more Patricia Briggs books, which have been enjoyable so far! I started Moon Called today and I like it so far. I finally finished Voyager and found it a bit harder to get through out of the Outlander saga so far. I guess I need a break so therefore Moon Called.
Storee I love Jeffries' Prince books too. I may have to re-read them sometime.
DL, what ... ... a bit unusual. I've been meaning to pick up Compass Rose too since I've heard so much about it.

I have pile that may start with Every Which Way But Dead and A Fistful of Charms, The Raven Prince, Moon Called.

I have recently read a couple books which were cataloged as urban fantasy, Moon Called and The Blue Girl. Has anyone else read these books? What did you think? CC-Thanks!
Since I really enjoyed Moon Called I will probably check out some of her other books as well. I think she wrote some dragon ones? I finished Moon Called by Patricia Briggs yesterday and started The Blue Girl (touchstone being stubborn) by Charles de Lint last night. I'm really enjoying it so far. RL - I really enjoyed Moon Called and finished it today as I was home from work being sick and whiney (except there was no one to whine to so I basically slept and read). I did a little review of the book if you're interested. It wasn't really a romance and is actually catagorized as a fantasy, ... ... an American beauty. I think I'm going to read Lady of Sin next since I'm still waiting for Outlander to arrive.
DL Moon Called looks pretty good. You have to tell me what you think when you're done. Just started Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. I'm a couple chapters in and am relieved that it seems like I will like this better than the last couple books I've read, Beauty and Uglies. It wasn't that I hated those two books, far from it, I just found them a bit tedious to read. Sorry, I haven't heard of her before.
Today I'm starting Moon Called by Patricia Briggs. I'm really looking forward to it! The last couple books I've read were a bit of a chore so it will be nice to read something I can really get in to.
