Book 9: 2026
Fanfiction but Word count is 66,666.
Which assume was deliberate considering it was Fa fix from the show TV show #Lucifer. I consider it book length.

"Wing (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)" six chapters which is kinda bonkers considering the word length but the Author Endnotes states that the story kinda got away from them a little - in a good way. Chapters get longer each time.

Excellent.

Book 8: 2026
Fanfiction but it was about 30,00 words so I am counting it as a short novel.

It's about my current hyperfixation and titled: 'Error 404'

Fictional character gains sentience and breaks the fourth wall. Romance between Character and Main Character in fanfic ensues.
Also heartbreak.
Also a brilliant ending !

Sometimes the opening paragraph of a book just grabs you and says 'weeeeee all aboard da traaaain!'

"The Sound of grown men begging for mercy always brings a smile to my face.
Not sure what that says about me, but at three-hundred years old, murder at least keeps life interesting."
- Page 1, Chapter 1, Loving A Vampire Is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes

Book 6 : 2026

Robin of Sherwood: Sanctuary
(aka Richard Carpenter's Robin of Sherwood: Sanctuary by Paul Birch)

I have a deep fondness for the early 1980's British TV show "Robin of Sherwood". One of 22 official original novels feat characters from show.

T'was okay, but I wouldn't recc to anyone not already a fan of the show. Short - only 75 pages - POD issues, and often read more like a teleplay than a book.

Book 5 of 2026

Currently on chapter 5 of 28 of 'Kaiju Preservation. Society' by John. Scalzi - so far so freaking GOOD.

I really don't know how Scalzi makes each book he writes so very Scalzi and yet each one is so definitively different, but it is a breathtaking slight of hand every time.

Book 2 & 3 of 2026:

Alpha Warlock's Kala West Series 2-3 of 5 by Auirella Skye
[Reverse Harem, Modern Fantasy, Erotica(?)]

2: 11 chapts approx 1.5 hours to read. 3: 14 chapters 1.7 hours to read

DNF either - Book 2, skimmed last 2 chapts, and last 4 chapts in book 3 Because it was just bad (in my opinion) porn. Scenes, suspiciously almost an exact template of book 1

Do not recommend. Books 2 and 3 = book 1 , just with more chapters
