If you are looking for something you can find at a place like Barns and Noble, Urban Fantasy is likely what you will find most fuzzy. Lots of werewolf in the city type books.

[Kitty and the Midnight Hour (Kitty Norville Series) By Carrie Vaughn] (https://www.amazon.com/Kitty-Midnight-Hour-Norville/dp/0446616419/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468453249&sr=8-1) - Urban Fantasy. Liked a lot of the series. It is fun and doesn't take it self too seriously. Spunky Midnight DJ (thats a werewolf) starts taking calls about things that go bump in the night and it leads to fame and adventure.

Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, Book 1): A Jane Yellowrock Novel - Another Urban Fantasy. Skin walker that prefers the form of a cat takes up the job of head of security for a vampire. Bit gritter then above, and can bit a bit hit or miss.


Both of the above should be available locally for almost everyone. I have a huge pile of books I could sort to find others. But on to actual furry things:

Turning Point (Sholan Alliance) Bit old, and slightly dated mass produced book from the 80s that was vary furry and it is an impressively long series. Young lady from a colony world meets a telepathic cat and bonds with him.

Off Leash (Freelance Familiars Book 1) One of the better feral books I have ever read. Main turns into a 4 pawed feline familiar and bucks the trends.

[WindFall] (https://www.amazon.com/Windfall-Tempe-OKun-ebook/dp/B01DKRP67Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1468454404&sr=1-1&keywords=windfall+tempe) Young Husky meets up with old friend in a town a show was made about and discover a little bit of truth exists.

[Exiles Return] (https://www.amazon.com/Exiles-Return-Rebecca-Mickley-ebook/dp/B00K3XSF4W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468454490&sr=8-1) Bunny who retired to a uncolonized rim world is called back to represent Earth.

In Wilder Lands: The Fall of Eldvar Kind of an game/RPG style series. A homeless ringtale (of all things) ends up assisting a fox and eventually falling in love. Did I mention undead are slowly covering the world?

Mindtouch - This book is fairly intresting and one of the few books that I have ever read that features a almost romantic platonic relationship.

Bait and Switch - While I don't think this book is everyones cup of tea, it tackles identity issues in a interesting way.

Portals of Infinity (Series) - While I wouldn't call the series great books. Its fun furry action. Human stumbles in to a portal ends up becoming a champion of a fuzzy god, gets the girl and saves the day.



Some stuff that you can find for free:

[Ted R. Blasingame] (http://trblasingame.com/library.html) Writes a number of books worth checking out. Namely: Sunset of Furmankind and its available for free.

[Fel (James Galloway)] (http://www.weavespinner.net/worlds_of_fel.htm) Has tried vary had not write furry fiction but almost everything he writes has something fuzzy or a lot of fuzzy. Check out: Spirit Walker, Earth Bond and Kit. All 3 are free.

I agree with /u/ByEthanFox . If it doesn't matter whether they're read in order, don't mention the series aspect at all.

I picked up a set of stand-alone romances that are very loosely connected, I started reading out of order and it didn't matter to me a bit. The author doesn't label them with numbers, nor does she lump them together with a series name. The connection is something readers figure out as they read, with the appearance of side characters that appear in the other books... It was the hero's fraternal twin brother, or his best friend, or a business associate, none of whom had huge parts in the book itself, but each have their own book. The only hint to the timeline was that the couple that had their romance in the first book the author released are living together in the third book, and the couple in the third book go to their place for a get-together of all the friends.

I don't feel like I HAVE to read them all if I don't want (which labeling them as a series would suggest) and I don't feel like I even have to read them in order, which I already didn't. But because I really enjoyed the one I picked up, I grabbed all the rest and will read them in order.

Here's the first book, if you're curious.

in short. I'm a big fan of genre fiction. Fantasy, Sci-Fi, urban paranormal romance, all that jazz. Game of Thrones as I was reading it basically billed itself as this Fantasy Epic. Now I went into this before the show started.. the summer before so the buzz I had was just from book readers who regarded it as a beloved series. I read it and I kept waiting for the fantastic elements to appear. It opened with these special dire wolves after a preamble scene which hinted at a greater fantastic enemy to come. And the entire book just never delivered. I was four chapters past it and still expecting Sansa's wolf to show up and come back to life, because clearly those wolves were going to play an important part on the family's journey. Nah. I finished the book still in this "waiting" mindset.

After finishing I did something I don't often do. I said no. I'm a completionist. I try to finish the series I read. Notable exceptions include the Wheel of Time (simply because I don't want it to end.. it's that... BIG to me). And other series I've won on GoodReads but only have the first book and it's difficult to obtain the others for whatever reason. But Game of Thrones is maybe one of two book series that I've deliberately stopped reading. The other was just horrific. So bad it's made me afraid to try free Amazon books and I've had some of my best books have been from free Amazon.

I just published my first book! Well, self published. It feels like a such a huge relief to just have it out there. It’s free on Amazon tomorrow and the next day! Please check it out!

• my favorite book is The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. The main character is writing her doctorate thesis on the Salem Witch Trials. She's trying to revisit the reasoning behind the mania. She also has family that date back to the trials. I love the history and how deep her research went for the book. You can tell how hard she worked on it. The book also has a pretty cool twist and I love the new views on the trial as she tries to figure it out using modern logic.
  
  
• my least favorite book is Drink, Slay Love. The main characters had no redeeming qualities, the writing style felt like a 14 year old, and the plot twist was so preposterous. I was embarrassed to have read it.

The best free romance books I know of are https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MQ0PJ9E/ and https://www.amazon.com/Deal-Off-Campus-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00TG1CZFC/

Have you read Nicky Charles Mating series? Bonus: I believe they are all free and they are paranormal romance.. Seriously I love them they are probably one of my favorite series! If you haven't read them yet you absolutely must immediately!

Edit: Shoot- I seriously always forget the phrase: /u/Morthy you shall be now dubbed Dr. Morthy-o. Let's play a pill version of Tetris.

Yes. Mostly. The stereotype helps reinforce a worldview where certain behaviors are seen as gender signifiers. In identifying with the gender one can come to adopt the signifier. A depressing part of growing up is becoming what everyone else expected us to be. If you grow up wanting to be feminine, and you are told that a kind of 'cute' dumbness is desirable you may end up simply adopting it, your natural talent left to die on the vine.

Think of teen girls who think it's cute to end every bloody sentence with that interrogative upward inflection, as if they were unsure of what they were trying to say. Girls get like that because they notice when boys respond to it. It becomes a habit. Boys respond to it because it makes them feel more dominant, and this drives a cultural norm where weirdly submissive conversational posturing is somehow sexually desirable. See here for a more in-depth look at this.

There was a recent study on gender differences in spacial reasoning tasks where they found that the performance differences evaporated when women were given some manner of confidence boost.

tl,dr, yes. yes it does.

Edit: Can you stop with the right leaning idenity politics and focus on stuff that actually matters. Form you're posts you're talking about anti white, male standings and etc with very little focus on real socia-economic issues. You're not better than the left cause you're using the exact same idenity politics while using the same intellectual fallacies as them with your aguments.

I'm always down for a fair discussion but you need to bring up factual stuff that matters to most people. MRM and GG and this whole SJW talking points are losely founded on importance and facts. At the end of the day your post was hyperbolic.

Again don't wase my time unless you have something tanigible and important

> Not an argument. You claim GamerGate is not a hate group but the "alt-right sinked in with them" whatever that means, it just sounds like you want to associate GamerGate with the alt-right.

Are you even reading at this point? Did you even tried to understand what is sealioning? Clearly not if that is you're response.

This is the exact same reasons why people view the whole anti-sjw vs SJW bullshit beceause both sides don't bother to understand nuance or understand the argument. Instead of listening you're throwing accusations. Get the over yourself

>but you want to act like you supported GamerGate all along, it is hard to believe when you talk that way.

So just because you don't want to understand my positions and the wording doesn't fit your standard its not believiable? How is this differ from feminist tone policing? Wait its not.

Overally my point is GG lost its focusing and letting people of the ethnonationalist seep in the intial movement.

> Bullshit! The media was attacking GamerGate before they focused on Anita. Also GamerGate shouldn't have to change focus from fighting SJWs to not be SLANDERED AS A FUCKING HATE GROUP!

You know what? You're totally right. A group that produce shit like this totally shown itself to be on the good side of the fight. How is erotic fiction and trolling helped? It really didn't it only made her more mainstream and worse hurt GG actuals points.

You're agument is bullshit. CNN MSNBC and even comedians wouldn't even cared or noticed. Hell some MSM and celebs would of supported GG if it took itself seriously and focused on what mattered; Game Journalism. But no, they just had to focus on Anitia and the whole SJW thing.

>I care but I didn't agree with everything that Bernie Sanders stood for.

Fair enough

>My politics would actually look like a mix of Donald Trump & Bernie Sanders(among other things)

Two polar opposites but... okay

>And quite frankly, the Democrats are too authoritarian on social issues for me to support them anymore

I think I'm speaking with an idealog. How come I have a feeling that I already know what you're going to say before you say it and your main talking points?

>they act similar to the Religious Right, a right-wing faction that thankfully Donald Trump has been moving Republicans away from.

How is putting Betsy Devos and expanding on FADA for religious people DOESN'T bolster the religious right? His base is is religious. Facts say that 58% of Trump supporters are religious. You're the minority of Trump supporters. Name 1 secular thing that this man done in the white house?

>LOL NO

Uh huh. Totally, sueing strip clubs, doxxing potential rape victims and etc are totally good things

>CITATION NEEDED.

His involvement with the site "voice for men"


> But SJWs have a strong grip on politics, and even stronger grip on college Academia

Have you been to college or university? It sounds like you didn't went. SJWs are only a problem if you literally go hard like Milo and Spencer in their areas. Spencer actually goes to universities and speficially tries to provoke people. Milo singles trans students out and make fun of them even though they did nothing... Again you're losing me on this

Yup. I'm talking to an idealist. If anything we're too far right that anything that goes against christian values is concidered radical

America is a nation that its completely acceptable to say that "we can't have universial health care because of diversity and inner cities" and walk off as nationalist. Think about how far right America is where a system that is proven to help people is argued against due to "diversity". Kind of messed up.

How many people died due to SJWs? None really. How many people die to lack of health care due to Republicans 45,000 people according to Harvads. How many people will lose healthcare this year depending on Trump 26 to 32 million people? Do SJW affect my monthly mortgage bills? No. Did Trump's removing of the FHS did? YES, to the working class

>SJWs are the biggest threat to western civilization, if they are not stopped, we can kiss western civilization as we know it good bye.

Not the dependance on cheap labor, prision labor, lack of care for our water reserves which are diminishing and the long list of real issues. I really don't care much for the debate surrounding "white privilege"

Do you know what's embrassing? That many Americans focus on "fake nationalism" and the so called threat of SJWs which is overblown. Sorry, I don't see SJWs never killed anyone but a few Trump supporters did, Alexandre Bissonnette comes to mind. And before you bring up Muslims. Don't because they're not SJWs and Europe and the Middle east are suffering from a humanitarian crisis not a cultural one.

Here are some suggestions, but don't know how you'd find out if she's read them or not!

Not His Dragon by Annie Nicholas fits the bill for a cheesy supernatural romance. The ebook for Not His Dragon is free right now, and the other books in the series (they're loosely connected, but each book can be read as a stand-alone) are in Kindle Unlimited (and the others are reasonably priced if you don't use KU).

For sci-fi, you could try Dark Horse by Michelle Diener, if you like space operas. It's not super lighthearted, but it's not dark either, and it's got a bit of romance too.

I'm a new author! My first book, Going Bearserk, was just released!

Blurb for Going Bearserk: A Viking Shifter Romance

Lana:

I never believed in scary stories. Now I know better.

Now I’m on the run, looking for a new life. One where I can be free from my family’s expectations and safe from the darkness I discovered.

Enter Iohan, the mysterious and sexy stranger who rescues me from a mishap in the mountains. He’s a bit odd, sure, but he’s over six feet of jaw-dropping, muscular handsomeness. He also seems determined to protect me. Surely I can’t have found my new life already—and not with this man. After all, I’m beginning to suspect Iohan has a secret of his own…

Iohan:

I am a warrior with no battles to fight. Ripped from my time by a mysterious curse, I am destined to wait out the rest of my days alone. I have no faith, no family, no home.

When Lana appears in my mountains, she unlocks something inside of me. Something that I thought I could never feel again. She is running, and I am drawn to protect her. To make her mine. I can only hope that I will not become more dangerous to her than what she is running from…
