It was just driving me buggy trying to remember the title and author!

Several at the club now want to read it so thank you for posting. I'm very happy you found your book. I haven't read the author though I own several of her books. Someday I'll give her a try.

My wife likes most of Nora Robert's books and I was looking at the hardcover of Year One as a part of her Christmas gift. However, going by reviews, it seems very different from her previous books though sharing some themes so I'm a bit dubious. Anyone who has read it and care to comment on this? PM is likely best to keep from dragging this thread off-topic. Thanks for any feedback.

I know that it's fantasy, no romance (she has said it), but how is it?

I haven't yet as I plan to wait until the entire trilogy has been released.

I send him a link to the author's blog post about it. New Directions (Fall Into the Story blog) from Nov 2016 where she talked about how it would NOT be a romance.

I've heard from a couple of reader friends about it. One thought it was horror-lite, while another said it was like a cross between her Key trilogy and the Circle trilogy, but definitely without romance. There's apparently a very large cast of characters.

Terisa de morgan · 12-17-2017, 04:26 AM

Well, with your last paragraph... you have convinced me to wait till she finishes it, yes. Thank you for the info.

I have posted before about upgrading my Kindle Paperwhite. Now it's really on it's last legs. I need to decide whether to replace it with a mini LCD tablet or another e-ink reader. What would you do? Lately I don't like to read on my phone which has a 5.2 inch screen unless I have no other choice. So I would get some kind of Android tablet (not a Kindle fire though) or one of the higher end e-ink Kindles--the Voyage or the Oasis.

I'd get another Paperwhite. The new version is really nice. Which one do you have? I have the very first version someday I'll get the newest.

If you like to read a lot, but get eye strain, I'd recommend a dedicated e-ink reader. Also, even though tablets are pretty light weight these days, they are still heavier than a Kindle and harder on my wrists for longer term reading.

Tablets IMHO just aren't the same for longer reading sessions. I occasionally read on my iPad if I have a library book through Hoopla or Axis 360, but in general, I still prefer an e-reader. I have a 4 yr old paperwhite that is still going strong and I would consider it my primary reading device.

copyrite · 12-17-2017, 02:02 PM

I love my Voyage, but if that's out of your price range, go for the latest Paperwhite.

I'm sticking with E-ink until they don't make 'em anymore.

Keslynn · 12-17-2017, 04:53 PM

I traded in my Voyage for a new Oasis. I love it! It’s very comfortable to hold and I like the warmer hue of the light.

Sugar Pine Trail: A Small-Town Christmas Romance by RaeAnne Thayne

is on sale for $1.99 if anyone is interested or needs something to read for Christmas.

https://amazon.com/dp/B071CJZ1H6/

Quote:

“I've been following RaeAnne Thayne for some time now, and have watched her readership grow with each title. She's a rising star in the romance world. Her books are wonderfully romantic, feel-good reads that end with me sighing over the last pages.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

An unlikely attraction brings comfort, joy and unforgettable romance this holiday season!

Librarian Julia Winston is ready to ditch the quiet existence she's been living. She's made a list of new things to experience, but falling for Jamie Caine, her sexy military pilot neighbor, isn't one of them. Julia's looking to conquer life, not become the heartbreaker's latest conquest. But when two young brothers wind up in Julia's care for the holidays, she'll take any help she can get—even Jamie's.

Happy to step in, Jamie reveals a side of himself that's much harder to resist. Not only is he fantastic with kids, he provides the strength Julia needs to tackle her list. She knows their temporary family can't last beyond the holidays, but the closer she gets to Jamie, the more she wonders if things could be this merry and bright forever…
