THE IRON HUNT had some cool ideas, but was a little murky; I think if I hadn't read the prequel novella, I might have been much more confused by it. I'm curious to see where she'll go with the sequel.
BOLLYWOOD NIGHTS sounds fun, and I want to know if I want to read it!
I liked the Jenkins historical I read years ago a lot more than the contemporary/suspense of hers I read more recently, and it was also a Western [ALWAYS AND FOREVER], so WILD SWEET LOVE could be good. I remember thinking it wasn't the best romance I'd ever read, but I liked the historical detail about the black settlers. If you end up liking it, I have TOPAZ which I can lend.
I've read a Tananarive Due and it was really creepy so I haven't tried her again. I am not a horror/creepy book reader, though, and her writing is really good.
I remember a college friend of mine really liked Jewelle Gomez, though I have not read her.
Others: Do you have any Nalo Hopklinson on your list? She has a new one out soon, I believe.
For YA, Barbara Caridad Ferrer's ADIOS TO MY OLD LIFE is a lot of fun--heroine is a guitarist on a "Latin Idol" show. Can lend if I can pry it away from person I lent it to already.
