Hastur Lord – Marion Zimmer Bradley and Deborah J. Ross

At Home, Reading / Megan

I’m a big fan of Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Darkover books – I managed to track every single one of them down by haunting Ebay, Abebooks and a couple other sites. I’ve kept reading the series even after Bradley’s death, when others have continued the stories. From what I understand, Hastur Lord was something that Bradley […]

The Host – Stephenie Meyer

At Home, Reading / Megan

Humanity has been taken over by a race called the Souls – parasites that insert themselves into a human’s body, and then live their lives. The original memories of the body are intact, but the person is gone. The Souls have been on Earth for a while, so there are very few ‘wild’ humans left.

The Skies of Pern – Anne McCaffrey

At Home, Reading / Megan

I’ve been away from Pern for a while – it was one of my favorite series when I was a teenager, and I’d left off with The Dolphins of Pern – where Thread was seemingly eradicated, and Pern was learning to live with that reality. It seemed a natural enough stopping point, but there were
