Blood Ties, yes! Who recced this to me?

[ride_4ever]

Someone in my DW Circle or my LJ Flist recced the Canadian TV show Blood Ties to me. Now I've watched it and I want to comment to them...and I thought I saved their rec to "memories" but I didn't. If that reccer reads this, please LMK. (Also, anyone who wants to comment to me about this show, feel free to do so.)

Uh, I think that was me, ha! I'm glad you liked it!

I haven't rewatched the second season, so I don't remember the cliffhanger. I'll get it before to long and refresh my memory. :D The books are pretty good, and as a bonus, they have Tony--he's an openly gay character, he and Henry have a mutually beneficial relationship, and he later gets his own series of books called the Smoke series. They should be easy to find in any used book shop with a decent sci-fi/fantasy section.

Happy reading!

I actually preferred the Smoke series.

TYK for the rec. I'll read the Smoke series after the Blood series.

Yeah, TYK about reccing this show to me (and now I'm all flaily about the possibility of meeting Christina Cox at the RCW 139 con in Toronto this summer).

Tanya Huff's books are even easier to find than going to a bookstore. I can get all of them through my local library. (And I'm looking forward to reading where the character Tony is included.)

You're very welcome, and I'm glad you like it! I haven't seen it properly in nearly a decade, so I'm glad my rambling impressions have held it up as a good series. :) And yay for meeting Christina Cox!

Double and triple yay for using the library! I don't know why I was thinking used book stores--I think that's my own tendency to hoard things showing through. :D

Ah, don't misunderstand me about going to used book stores (and yes, I am a book-hoarder, too) -- it's just that at the used book store I like to let random books find me rather than going there to look for specific books. When it comes to specific books I get them at the library (which also is super-convenient for me since I'm a librarian at a public library and therefore I am at the library five days a week.
