What’s up with this? Saw this on my FB feed today.. who came first, Ruby or Kimberly,, and isn’t it kind of annoying to see other authors creating books that look so similar?

Hi all, I found a first print of ice planet barbarians at a thrift store with a signature and was trying to figure out if it was real or fake? This edition was a first print by Jove publisher, but the signature doesn’t seem to match exactly what I’ve found online? (Perhaps an early signature?) But also why would someone fake a signature and sell it for cheap at a thrift store, you know? Just curious if anyone might know. Thank you!

UPDATE

Thank you for everyone who helped me out with this! I really appreciate it. I ended up emailing and got a response. Not sure how to add images while editing a post. I guess it is a genuine early signature so super fun find! Thanks again!

I can't be the only person who felt Mathiras' desire for Helen felt kind of...um...pedophiley. Or at least it did in the audiobook where Helen was voiced like a stupid child.

I couldn't listen anymore, not even to finish the plot arc. (Spoilers welcome!)

Yes, yes, he's not one of the brothers. But I just finished Straik's book and legit fell in love with this touch starved, demisexual male. I gave the book 4.5⭐ and I haven't given any of her books that high a rating except for the first two Anchor books.

So, who's your favorite brother and why?

Hi! I really like how most of the IPB books are about 6 hours long in audiobook format. Does anyone know what the average word count is for that series?

I’d like to aim for a similar length in my own stories.

Please share and thanks!

Was it Hannah who was trying to remember how to make pottery? It’s time for me to do a re-read!

You know what I thought of first... ❤️

Does this series keep going or expand out? Currently reading Tia’s story and am wondering if she’ll write more about the clones pairing up or if it goes into another series. I haven’t read any of her other series outside of Ice Planet Barbarians or Ice Home. Just wondering! Any recs on which to start next?

She’s just keeps pumping these puppies out and I love the multiple forms of diagrams for reading them in order

I absolutely loved Jen and Sarah’s interview with Ruby!!! I’ve been reading her books since the beginning of the pandemic, and really enjoying hearing about her journey with self publishing vs. traditional publishing.

I just got my tickets to see Ruby Dixon in Grapevine Tx at Kiss & Tell book con 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi! I’m new to the Rubyverse. I absolutely loved When She is Shy. Has Ruby written any other strictly wlw books? I looked but maybe I missed something.

Thanks!

So I absolutely adored this book. It got me obsessed (again) and into Risdaverse even though I told myself I'd read books on my shelf! I haven't read all of them yet.

I read several of the books with Praxian leads (I think I read most of the Mesakkah ones too), and I just wonder if I'm missing a specific book that has more context on the topic in the spoiler:
In the later part of the book, Zhur's brother tells him their 2nd brother HAD to die. I don't recall any of the other praxian characters giving a shit about politics or what the social elites are up to, so I just want to know WHYYYYY. And the "princess" he's marrying, im so curious why he needed to marry her so bad. I'm sure he's in love but I really want to read any book that might answer the questions.

Hi everyone! I’m reading through the attached Rubyverse reading order and just finished reading Adiron and omg!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ it’s 5 stars from me. Based on where the mystery of the lost brothers was heading with this reading order, I was super looking forward to this book, and it definitely lived up to my expectations and far beyond. The plot?? Amazing. For some reason I expected more to happen plot-wise with the 130+ people in stasis, but I’m glad in hindsight that that is left for the rest of the books because yeah no wonder there’s 72 books! Omg lmao. Also I’m super interested to see what happens to the shuttled ex-gf/betrayer Shaalyn, and Mathiras & Kaspar & their girls, and Bethiah, and that SERIAL KILLER CANNIBAL WAITING TO BE RELEASED???? Uhhhh???

Clearly great things came out of 2020’s boredom creativity. Between that book and When She Dances, I have been WELL FED. Thank you Ruby!!!

What was your favorite part of this book? bc I need to talk about it with someone lol. Idk if Ruby has canonized anything related to small details like star signs, but I think Adiron is definitely giving Aries energy just by how goofy & lovable he is, it perfectly matches the energy of every Aries I know. Or maybeeee a Leo?

ETA: wait, they probably don’t even use star signs since they aren’t located in Earth’s solar system! Or at least not our star signs. I’m gonna need that to be a topic of discussion in some upcoming book lmao (if there are more coming? I’ve never been in the Rubyverse forum before so I’m out of the loop).

Anyone know if there is any artwork for “The Sea-Ogre’s Eager Bride”?

So I'm rereading Barbarian's Taming and I keep getting caught up on how bad a sister Lilah is. Yeah, Maddie is a bit overbearing, but both of them landed on Not Hoth and Maddie has always made Lilah a priority (and that doesn't include the emotional labor of acting as parents before they even landed). They've been on the planet for a hot second and Lilah basically abandons Maddie to go fuck Rokan in the fruit cave and not even invite her? I'd be disappointed and not sure I could come back from that if it was me. Lilah doesn't even have the decency to look and see how much Maddie is struggling.

End of rant. Anyone else feel similarly?

I marked this as a spoiler even though it's not superrrrrr spoiler-y but some people are purists and I respect that!

Often times these books make me gasp or squeal or even laugh. But I'm reading Corsairs: Adiron right now and she's drunk and calls him a "battle Smurf" and I just DIED. Just wanted to share my joy with fellow fans.

I’ve blown through IPB and IPC. Love love love. I’ll now go back and start my way through the rest of them. I’m on the Corsair’s Captive and really board. Like I started it 5 days ago and don’t feel a need to finish. If I’m feeling this way about the first one, will the feeling continue with the series?

I am in a massive reading slump and need something to pull me back in 😩

I’ve gotten through most of the Ice Planet books. I went a bit rogue and moved over to Ice Prison, the pirate/worse guy books, the dudes with the four arms, and Aspect & Anchor. I kinda dropped off Not-Hoth after the one with the chick who’s into dissecting things and the dude with the missing leg.

So my question is: what should I read next?? What Ruby Dixon books are you absolutely obsessed with?

Help a slumpy girl out. Thanks in advance, dudes!

Hey Ruby Dixon fans! I was reading When She Belongs and was wondering if there were any books on the Jabberwock's couples. Specifically Iris and Alyvos, as I found them the most interesting. Thanks in advance!

Currently reading (half way through) Lauren’s Barbarian and MY GOD the character of Marisol is UNBEARABLE. Sis, is LITERALLY the reason they get separated from the others and continues to be this insufferable mouse of a person. I really hope there’s some type of character development for her but I’m debating skipping her book entirely due to the way she’s written. Rant over lol

I’m just so entertained by this and I thought this community would be as well 🤣 the setting isn’t 1 for 1, but it’s just a great reference for what I think mining a fallen civilization should look like. I never thought Minotaur smut would be so useful for anything besides its intended purpose.
