I don't do this thanksgiving crap, but...

Thank you, Laurell K Hamilton, for confirming that my decision to quit reading Anita Blake was indeed very wise.

If you care what I'm talking about, it's her blog entry:

And I thought I had trouble with plot!

For me the problem with paranormal romance tends to be, well, the romance. I'm all for love and sex, but I don't like heroines who have that "nothing without a man" crap going. That was the appeal of Anita, initially: she was so much more than that. Now, she's even less than that. Sad.

I love Kat Richardson's Greywalker novels: I guess that's more urban fantasy than paranormal romance - the heroine is a PI with a weird talent, and she has a love life but it's very much in the background. Good stuff.

I'll have to check those out; that's one series I haven't gotten round to yet!
