Haha I know how that can be. The Dresden books are really good though. And I personally find that they read pretty quickly.

Yes, I've heard so much good about it and I own the first couple of books, it's just a matter of remembering and trying to fit them in with everything else! lol. Once I get through the ones I own, I might see how the audio is, I can get through those faster than reading a lot of the time because commute.

Wow! I haven't seen 5 stars from you in awhile! I've read other Blake books and they were okay. I'm still getting around to Three Dark Crowns. And it turns out I own the e-book so maybe I'll get around to it sooner than later. I'll DL to my Kindle app and as it keeps staring me down every time I go into it, I might read it! lol

I have been wanting to read this. What made you give it 3 stars?

[Silver]

It was interesting in parts but parts of it really did not come across as very believable or make logical sense.

I need to read Liu Cixin again. The Three-Body Problem was a bit much for my first try, but I really liked Ball Lightening. Maybe short stories are the way to go.
