Okay, I admit it--I can't stop buying Stargate stuff. Especially Stargate novels. Of course, my one, lone bookstore that used to carry them (I think just for me, even though they didn't know who was buying their one copy of all of the Stargate books) no longer has new ones... but apparently, you can buy them as Kindle books!
YAY.
However, I'm a little shy about buying them without recommendations. Is anyone else still reading them? If not, I'll just bite the bullet and pick up a couple of the ones I haven't read yet--probably Transitions and Oceans of Dust, since those are the next ones. Then I can do reviews. Mwa ha ha!

It's a print on demand process, and somehow the setup for that means that they are available about 2 weeks after the electronic form is. If the author is a friend of yours, however, I am told that the author gets a larger percentage of the cost in that form than they do with a printed copy.

Hadn't realised there were some new ones, though! Heart's Desire has Jack and Sam on the cover. :D

I find it incredibly difficult to keep them all straight, too--except for the couple I know I liked. *grins* Still, sometimes I find myself reading one of the blurbs and wondering if I've even READ it.
I'm also unsure if I should keep the ones I know I didn't like so well. Hmm.

Date: 2012-12-10 01:44 pm (UTC)From:Personally, I've been mostly disappointed, but I think my standards are overly high -- I'll cut slack for fanfic, but I get really picky for pro.
I think Sacrifice Moon is OMG AWESOMESAUCE and I'd rec it anywhere and everywhere.
The others I've tried (not many, I confess), I've bogged down on. They were clearly written by Jack-centric fangirls, of which I am one, but when I pay for a Stargate book I expect the rest of the team to be actual characters, written in character, y'know? But as I said, I'm way too hard to please in this.

...it may possibly hit just about every fanfic kink I ever had. And it was well-written and enjoyable and twisty and ERMAGHERD.
