So what Blood of Books do you want to see?
Blood of the Coven for Changelings - This would be an awesome book.
Blood of Shadows for Fetchlings - Would be interesting to see what variations of Blood lines they would have.
Blood of Dragons - Would be nice to see a race with limited dragon blood similar to how Skinwalkers have limited lycanthropic blood.
Blood of the Sea - Using Gillmen as the base bloodlines with merefolk, sahuagin, skum, adaro, cecaelia, ceratioidi, etc influence.
Blood of the Naga - Nagaji with different Naga bloodlines.
Blood of the Scale - Using the Vishkanya as the base bloodlines with lizardfolk, serpentfolk, kappa, troglodyte, etc bloodlines.
Blood of the Caverns - possibly using dwarf as the base instead of human, bloodlines with mongrelfolk, skulk, morlock, urdefhan, charda, etc. influence.
Blood of Madness - Using the Kuru as the base alternate bloodlines from other aberrations, lots of potential with this.
Blood of the Fey - This would be fun, use the gnome as the base with different fey bloodlines.
Blood of the Green - bloodlines with plant monster variations
Blood of the Gear - Using the Android as the base variations for Androids with Clockwork, Golem, and Animated Objects bloodlines. Really any Construct could provide a bloodline for Androids because when you are a living machine why not mate with other machines.

+1 for Blood of the Coven/Hag with options for changelings descended from Blood/Storm/Winter hags.
+1 for Blood of Balance with options for Axiomite-/Inevitable-/Aeon-/Psychopomp-/Protean-based planetouched (which need not all be actually descended from such influences!).
And yes, I too did a double-take when I first saw this thread's title! :)

Those three are good ideas. They each have a strong theme for aquatic settings, fey domains, and the ancient scaly races of Golarion.

I originally thought of Librarians myself.
Um...I would like to see some race books on the less common races, but perhaps it might be an easier sell to group similar races together. I.e. one book which included info on Strix, Tengu, and Syrinx characters, for instance.
I also don't necessarily see having different bloodlines for each possible race. It works for Aasimar, Tieflings, Dhampirs, and Skinwalkers, because those are all implicitely the result of a generic outsider (or lycanthrope) mating with a mortal race. For that reason it would work well with Fetchlings, or Suli, or what have you, but I don't see the same need for things like gnomes, vishkanya, etc.

There was a race of quasi humans with glowing blue runes that were basically book people in 3.5, from the Races of Humans (er, Destiny) I believe.

Exactly!

Ah, yes! I almost built one once for an Epic campaign...Illumian, I think they're called.

Blood of the stars would be awesome. I would like more info/abilities on Lashunta and we also have the Triaxians, Kasatha, and maybe Trox. Also by the time we ever see such a book we will have stats for races like Vercites and more.
Yeah, that would be cool! And perhaps an alternate racial trait or two for Sovyrian Elves, or mortals kept for sport on Eox.
Also, +1 for Blood of Shadows. Wayang, Fetchlings, Shaespawn, maybe "pre-Kyton" mortals...

Blood of the Buried - there's supposed to be all kinds of weird shit in Golarion's subterranean depths, and the further down and closer to Rovagug's prison you go, the weirder it gets. Dark Elves are just the tip of the iceberg.

+1 to blood of the fey and stars. I love the idea of playing fairy characters, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Gathlain will be integrated in the pathfinder universe, and would like to see more playable fey races that don't require the monsters as pc rules. As a huge Desna fan, I'd definitely love to see some material about alien races from the stars, perhaps the creators of the massive ship that crashed in numeria...

I actually read the title and hoped for a Wizardly themed book.
With stuff like extra Spell book traits (such as thee unique effects in some of the premade spellbooks in Ultimate magic). Along with a few book/library themed spells/feats, unique books and book-plates. A librarian Archetype (extra spells known but no arcane bond?).
More descriptions of tattoo scrolls and perhaps some new form of scroll, solid scrolls, blood scrolls?
Perhaps a description of the best known libraries in the world and some ideas for mega-library dungeons.
So yeah, +1 for "Blood of books"

I would rather there just be a book about witches with some stuff about changelings. I don't think changelings need a whole book, but witches could certainly fill that out.
There are now enough hags types to make the Changeling go the Dhampirs/Aasimars/Tieflings route.
(but I would love a Witch archetype that allows them to use a different casting stat.)

(but I would love a Witch archetype that allows them to use a different casting stat.)
Just an idea: How about one whose magic and Hexes are still Intelligence-based, but has an additional class feature or two that benefits from Wisdom and/or Charisma? The increased strain this would place on the character's points/good rolls could allow these abilities, whatever they were, to be more powerful than otherwise.

Blood of the Ancients. featuring Azlant,Shory, Thassilon, Jistka Imperium, Tekritanin League, and Ancient Osirion (for human and half races) influenced abilities, magical items, bloodlines, spells, archetypes, etc.
You can even include things like Sovyrian and Celwynvian options for elves. Even maybe a few Winter Council things since even though they still exist the organization is pre-earthfall old.
You could also have first world options for gnomes. You can have Nar-Voth options for dwarves, and even Tar Taargadth options.
They could pose it as ancestral awakening or discovery of lost ruins that awaken that part of their blood. Or Idk just right parents with the right heritages made the right baby..something
All I know is that I would love to make a Shory Aeromancer

I'd rather not have books for each specific race. That feels far too much like the old 3.5e bloat, and the race-specific books we've had so far have been fairly dreadful. Gnomes of Golarion, anyone?
I actually quite liked Gnomes of Golarion. I felt it's greatest weakness was the format they were using for the Player Companion at the time, which they have since done away with.
That said, we also know that Blood of the Stars will be coming out later this year, which could very well have information for Androids in addition to the varied Races hinted at in Distant Worlds.Finally, I've been reasonably vocal in my support for more material for Changelings. I've even been toying with trying to make their Bastard Brothers, the Caliban from Tears at Bitter Manor into a more balanced for PC's race.

I'd love to see a Blood of Dragons and Blood of the Fey. I'd also enjoy seeing Blood of the Sea (or something for the merfolk and gillmen... though most of the Blood of series have involved creatures with human heritage, so maybe Blood of the sea would work for gillmen and they'd need to make a Merfolk of Golarion book for merfolk?) and a book for Changelings and for Mongrelfolk would be interesting. I also think Lizardmen, Centaurs, and Strix could use more details and their own books, but that would probably fall under the "(Insert Creatures) of Golarion" series.
