    Nice post! I'm a lunar fan myself. I liked The Moonstone (though not as much as The Woman in White), and I hope to read The Moon is Down someday, being a Steinbeck fan, I imagine I will.

      I preferred The Woman in White, too. For me, it's Collins' best. :)

    A friend gave me the first three Patricia Briggs books, The Mercy Thompson Series, for my birthday. I am so hooked on these books. And not just because I grew up in Walla Walla and visited the Tri-Cities on a regular basis :)

    I loved The Moonstone by Collins, but my favorite is The Woman in White! I still have not read anything by Patricia Briggs, but see her books mentioned frequently.

      Yeah, The Woman in White is my favorite, too. And you should try the first Mercy Thompson book: Moon Called. I think you'd really like it. I'm hooked on them. :)

    What a great post!

    I love Ilona Andrews and Jim Butcher. Some of my favorite authors. :-) I really want to read The Moonstone. I loved The Woman in White. And Sarah Addison Allen is another author I keep wanting to try.

      I've read and liked several of Allen's books; and Andrews and Butcher write some of my favorite urban fantasy novels, along with Briggs, of course. Glad to know we share so many of the same likes in books! :D Thanks for stopping by!

    Great list on the moon related books! I know I want to read a few of them, especially The Moonstone and The Girl Who Chased the Moon.
