![]() ![]() Meeting you was incredible, and you were kind enough to not only sign a copy for myself, but also for my best friend at the time. I used that bag every day until the straps fell apart. Even now, I admire the tote bag - complete with a dragon drawn by your husband - given to everyone in the huge queue of people you gave up your time to meet. I was a lot younger than Claire at the time, but diving into her world captivated me for hours.īy 2012, I was a huge fan, and had the good fortune to meet you in person during your Black Dawn UK tour.

So the first question that comes to mind might be: “Sue, if I haven’t kept up with these novels – or if I’ve forgotten some of what happened – will I be totally lost?” Well, if there’s one thing Star Trek has always been good at, it’s exposition. ![]() To Lose the Earth picks up right where Architects of Infinity left off, in late 2382. ![]() It’s been two-and-a-half years since a Voyager novel last hit the shelves (March 2018), and Kirsten Beyer has returned for her tenth and possibly final Voyager novel in the show’s 25th Anniversary year.

![]() It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they've met many times and it's never been cute. But instead of picnics in meadows, or run-ins with a handsome country doctor or bulging-forearmed bartender, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. Which is why she agrees to go to Sunshine Falls, North Carolina for the month of August when Libby begs her for a sisters' trip away-with visions of a small town transformation for Nora, who she's convinced needs to become the heroine in her own story. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. ![]() Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. ![]() ![]() Nora Stephens' life is books-she's read them all-and she is not that type of heroine.

We discuss other similar works by authors Edgar Allan Poe, Robert W. Lovecraft's night terrors were not merely a case of hereditary acute psychosis but his vivid visits to the Dreamlands, and in fact the inspiration for the entire Cthulhu Mythos, were actually caused by an overproduction of naturally-occurring endogenous dimethyltryptamine, DMT, within the brain of our mad prophet.

For example, there’s more than one scene on this list involving members of the clergy, and I don’t know if that’s just because I am turned on by the idea of defiling a holy man, but judging by the sheer popularity of these novels, there’s a good chance that you are, too. Not that I don’t like a bit of the forbidden, it just has to be consensual. Unlike in real life, the best sex scenes in books include everyone getting their cookies, and often the female/non-male character gets theirs first. Instead, the hottest sex happens between two (or more) willing participants with the singular purpose of taking and receiving pleasure in cooperation with each other. ![]() There’s no sexual slavery like in Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty series, and rape isn’t so ubiquitous that it’s practically a secondary character, like in the Outlander series. Which is why the majority of the novels on this list were written within the past 10 years. In my opinion, the best literary sex scenes tend to happen between characters that put each other’s pleasure first, and where consent is enthusiastic and repeated throughout the process. Over time I have become super picky about the sex scenes in books. ![]() ![]() Typicall y, I read about a book a day, and the majority of these books are romance novels. ![]() |
