137842 I just don't remember one starting in August. I know Sanctum of Fantasy has talked about a series read in September, and I know NBRC had it as a BOM this month... I don't remember any other Buddy Reads LOL

Wait, what? Did I sign up for another one that I didn't write down? O_O

Thanks for the rec Steven. A person can never have en..."

RIGHT!

I have so many favorites!

I just read book one (the one I posted, Rivers of London or Midnight Riot here in the US), and loved it.

I'm enjoying the series so far. :D

Have you read Rivers of London (Peter Grant, #1) by Ben Aaronovitch ? it's like Ruth Galloway with some magic/urban fantasy mixed in. I'd wager you'd like it if you love Ruth Galloway.

137842 Karen,

I loved Percy Jackson, and only liked the Kane Chronicles. Just wasn't as good as Percy or the Heroes followup.

But Dead Heat was AMAZING.

I was hoping someone would catch my length joke ;)

Yeah, and for some reason, you've been entirely unable to finish them. Which means *I* win. Not Dresden, not Ty/Zane, not you. ME.

And yeah, Ty & Zane are sexy as hell, but Dresden Files is MUCH better quality literature, better written, better characterized, better overall story arc, etc.

;)

137842 How did they win anything? I've also read all the Dresden books that are out...

Your logic is ridiculous. Clearly Dresden wins. It didn't end after 9 books. It's almost double the length! :)

137842 Neglected to mention that technically Thunderhead is a standalone and not part of the series which is why it'd not listed as such. But I really wish the librarians would add it in there because it really makes the most sense to read it before CoC.

137842 Muffin, I have a paperback version and that's it :(

Erin, Thunderhead doesn't have Pendergast in it but it has a main character who joins the Pendergast series in Cabinet of Curiosities and is in quite a few books in the series (the events of Thunderhead take place between Reliquary and Cabinet). You don't *have* to read it beforehand, but it will explain a key relationship and give you the backstory of that major character. So if you can get your hands on a copy, please do. It's also a very good book, too! :)

137842 Ah! The Pendergast series (starting with Relic) is one of my absolute favorites! Make sure you read Thunderhead between Reliquary and Cabinet of Curiosities! Trust me, it's important!!!

137842 I am working on Annihilation (Southern Reach, #1) by Jeff VanderMeer , Joyland by Stephen King , and The House at Sea's End by Elly Griffiths ...

next up, another Rachel Morgan Ever After (The Hollows, #11) by Kim Harrison , the final in a trilogy Blood Infernal (The Order of the Sanguines, #3) by James Rollins , and a new one in a great UF series Vision in Silver (The Others, #3) by Anne Bishop

It was based off of the first book, yes, but it is drastically different. The movie CUT OUT Pendergast!!!
