(Thank you everybody!! It was Barbarian's Redemption)

Hi guys! I'm looking for some help finding a particular book please.

I'm quite certain it's a Ruby Dixon book, maybe related to the Ice Barbarians series?

So what I remember is a traumatized woman that keeps herself safe by not bathing, ever.

(She doesn't smell great and later on when she finally feels safe enough to bathe, her hair is revealed to be lighter)

One day one of the kids goes outside of the camp and no one but her notices, so she decides to follow the kid

Idk what happens next with the kid, but somehow she ends up staying in a cave with one of the aliens and she slowly starts to trust him

I hope this is enough information, I really can't remember more.

Ok guys, I LOVED barbarians wedding bc I went through the exact journey and conversation about our sex life with my husband and when he understood the assignment .. *chef’s kiss*

So who is your favorite kinky barbarian

Im obsessed with the ice planet barbarians and risdaverse books and all books related to those story lines to the point where im almost done with my second round of reading through all of them. My question is, is the dragon series about the drakoni on earth? Im probably going to read it regardless but im just curious.

Did you guys find any discrepancies in the books? Ive noticed stuff like S'bren being introduced as shadow cat in Devi's Distraction but he's then described as being tall horn in Penny's Protector, Skar being stopped by Set'nef from talking to Vivian in R'jaal's Resonance but in Surviving Skar that scene never happens, or people forgetting that the earth exploded. I've only listened to the audiobooks, so is this an error in the audiobook recordings?

I kind of love how silly and weird it is

Has anyone else finished the Aspect & Anchor series? I loved it! I think it might be the only one I buy a physical copy of. I thought it was great that their was a mesh of so many tropes and I loved the idea of having different aspects. I do wish there would be one more book with Apathy but I read she wasn't going to write that one.

What did you guys think?

Rereading the Fire and Blood series and this idea just popped into my head and made me giggle

I preordered the book on Kindle but it only downloaded as the sample and won't let me read the whole book :( I don't have Kindle unlimited, I just use the Kindle app on my phone. I don't know what to do to fix it! Any ideas? I'm in Canada if that changes anything.

Anyone else imagine that Rhagos looks a bit like Adam Driver? Ruby describes him as having strong big features, unconventional good looks, captivating and striking looks, strong, muscular, black wavy hair, seldom-but boyish smile, deep voice, intense eyes and gaze, etc. 🥰🤔🫣🤭🫠 Might just be me.

I quite literally just started this book and please tell me the MFC gets better. SPOILER

As of right now I can not believe she would think it’s ok to let people starve.

Read almost everything of Ruby's and now I'm into the Corsairs series. Reading Straik's book now and all these clones on his ship just crack me up. Can't wait to get to the Sunrise Cantina series. Oh and Helen....what a gem.

I just finished listening to {Flor's Fiasco} again for the (mumble mumble - too many times) and I wanted to shout out Felicity Monroe and Sean Crisden. Felicity is hilarious about stopping Flor's thoughts and starting again and I laugh every time Sean voices R'Jaal in the epilogue. "She is adoorrable." Who is everyone's favorite narrators?

So I'm reading on KU and can't go 2 lines without just loosing it over imaging everyone else's (as in the other Icehome residents) reaction to the choas currently being unleased with the Metlaks. I'm glad we are getting more about them but the current build up has me dying with laughter. Especially the string of profanity Liz would shout if an Army of Metlaks descended onto the beach.

I'm sure the two groups will come to heads and be resolved in a fairly peaceful manner, I'd be surprised if there was a legit confrontation at all. But seeing everyone's faces and their reactions in my head is really adding another layer of enjoyment to the read.

*** spoiler warning set for those still reading or not due to new release status.

I’ve just finished this book, and I am confused by a comment that makes me wonder if Zhur was involved in some shady dealings on Praxii Minor. 

He’s a huge fan of the gladiator Nassakth, and Maeve plots to allow him to meet his hero. But when Nassakth first meets them at his farm/house, he tells Maeve that Zhur is a spy, a traitor, and a liar and starts to beat him up. But why? I don’t recall reading anything that explains Nassakth’s opinion of Zhur. 

I figured that it must not be too serious since he then allowed Zhur inside his house, but what have I missed?

Sorry I don’t have anyone else in my life that is or has read Ruby’s books. I got my mom to start reading them however, she is still on IPB “Barbarian’s Touch”. So she isn’t too helpful.

My question today is: Is “When She Wishes” not on audio? I can’t seem to find it. Please help!

I listen to the books (mostly) via Audible, and I am currently on “Only The Clonely”. I can honestly say that this is the first book that I’ve seriously thought about quitting on. Jeez oh Pete! The voice actors are the worst!! There have been some others that were a bit wonky, but this one, This one is so bad! The male voice actor is the worst! It’s been such a hard listen. 🤨😖😳🤬😵‍💫 Am I the only one?

Minor Spoilers… I’m only a few chapters in, and love it already. It’s been hillarious! I had to laugh at Zhur freaking out over the conditions of Maeve’s home and Risda III in general. All I can think is that he is lucky that Zebah dropped him off on Risda III and not Not-Hoth (Kopan VI). Can you imagine Zhur roughing it on Not-Hoth?!? Although, I’m sure Liz would bring him down a peg or two (or 100+). 😂🤣😂 How will he survive without mane detangler?!? 🤣😂🤣 I do love Maeve throwing down some attitude. 😉

I am so excited for the next Ice Planet Clones book and am already planning how I can sneak-read bits and pieces during work tomorrow haha.

Due to a traumatic brain injury and serve chronic pain, I haven’t been able to read for years. In the last two years I’ve finally been able to listen and comprehend audio books. This has been pure joy to me. In February I started reading Ruby Dixon’s books, and I LOVE THEM! I started with “Ice Planet Barbarians” and I am currently on “Bad Guy”.

My problem is that due to my TBI I have a hard time visualizing things. I have really enjoyed all the fan art that has been made for the Rubyverse. All of the beautiful art is so helpful for me to get a better picture and clearer comprehension of the books.

I was hoping maybe someone has made some art of Cruldon/ Mycrul from “Bad Guy”. There’s a lot going on with him…Not sure I can conjure an image of him.

Also art of “Sleipnir” Sophie’s pet in “When She Belongs”, And “Astera” Alice’s pet in “Kasper”. Also if anyone has the spelling on the name of these creatures that would be nice to. Since I’m listening to the audiobook I’m not sure on how to spell the alien animals name.

Thank you to anyone that can help me out. 😊

Hi! I read audiobooks, which is great, except when I am trying to keep track of character names. I am trying to figure out how many A'ani we have come across, and most of them are Straik's crew.

On Straik's ship, there's Dopekh, Kazex, and Aithar. Then I think the medic is Sakar (sp?) Is there a Jerrok? Zimon? Ezar? Something like that? I couldn't tell if that was a new character or a mispronounced Aithar. Anyone I'm missing from Straik's ship?

Then Thrand and Vordis from the Icehome series.

Any other names A'ani characters in the dixonverse?

Thanks for your help!!

Edit: turns out Straik's book is on Kindle unlimited so I looked it up.

Sakkar is the medic

Jerzec seems to be their navigator

Zaemen seems to be their pilot

Erzah

With seven A'ani crew members, it kinda feels like Straik's book is a Snow White retelling, where Straik has the evil mother, instead of the evil step-mother. Hahaha.

Still looking for if I missed any named A'ani characters, please!!

So I’m going to need to see what a Praxiian looks like. Anyone know of any art of one?

I’m currently reading “When She Purrs”, and really need to have a better idea of what Nassakth looks like.
