A book a month sounds like a good plan. I've been doing a book a month of JD Robb's In Death series as a buddy read. We're the whole way up to book 7 of 30+. It may take us a few years, but it's probably the only way I'll get through the series.

Yikes! 30+ books?! That's impressive. Well, I definitely can catch up with the Dresden Files. It doesn't seem nearly so overwhelming now. : )


That's a great book! I hope you like it :)"
I'm loving it so far. thx. I know the next book wont come out for another year!

He's slowed way down so don't worry about it. The series gets better as you go so it will be fun. I wish I could still have them to read :)

I loved the Sugar Queen Jalilah!


I'm in queue at the library for that book. I read the short prequel that was on tor.com and loved it.


Oh hope you like it - I did!
I'm reading Airel by Aaron Patterson and Chris White


So far it just feels like the author is trying waay to hard to be funny. Ever get that feeling when it seems like they are trying to hard?

Comedy is *really* hard to write. Way more difficult than drama, imho.

What I like thus far is:
The protagonist is for a change "older"
The story takes place in San Francisco.
What I don’t like up to now is that the story seems like a murder mystery with supernatural characters, like a lot of Urban Fantasy nowadays and I am getting tired of it.




I might deviate from the plan if I get sucked into the world of On the Edge by Ilona Andrews. Anyone else itching for the next installment of Kate Daniels? It might be time to re-read those.

I'm counting the days to Andrea's book. I just finished a "reread" of Kate Daniels by listening to them all on audio. I love the series.
I'm curious to hear how the Edge series compares. I've heard most people like it, but it's just not as good as Kate Daniels.





I really liked The Night Circus and Ready Player One. Neither was quite what I was expecting, but they were both very good.


That's pretty smart. I haven't listened an audio book since those cassette tapes that came in the bulky VHS style package. So maybe that was a library find circa 1995.
Kristina,
I really liked Miss Peregrine's, the only defect was that kindle pictures/letter were hard to enjoy. The Night Circus is also on my Tbr list.
Happy reading.

I never saw myself as an audiobook listener, but I've found it's a great way to do "rereads" of series I love and now I'm addicted. I have so little time to read and so many great books out there that when I get a moment to sit down and read, I want to read something new. But I've got time when I'm driving or when I'm doing certain tasks at work or at home that are perfect for listening to a book. Plus, since I've already read the book in print, it's not a big deal if I space out and miss a little of the audio. It's been a great refresher for some series. There are entire characters in the Kate Daniels series that I had forgotten about. Of course, when you get to the scenes that make you laugh out loud, you get some strange looks from the people around you....

The Edge series is pretty good but it does not hold a candle to the badassedness that is Kate Daniels and her Beast Lord :)

I just picked up


Kiss of Midnight was pretty good, but next book in this series Kiss of Crimson took me 6 mo. of picking it up and putting it down to finally complete it. Maybe it was just me. Also, my brain wants to put this series into the Paranormal Romance genre instead of Urban Fantasy. What I've read of the series is similar to what I've been told of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. Rotating POV through the male vampires and love interests.


Next, I reading the latest of the President's Vampire series

I always thought the Midnight Breed series is PNR. I wouldn't classify it as UF at all. I enjoy the series, but some books are better than others. The most recent one (#10) was actually great.

Its definitely PNR. I agree that the latest book was very good.

I would have been totally lost if not for that guide!


Does anyone else feel the need to catch up on a series before starting a new one or re-reading a favorite from the beginning?

Maybe when I'm happily retired, I can re-read the entire Dresden series back to back!

I really wish I had the time to do a re-read, but with so many books to read I don't have the time.
