I completely understand. I have a feeling mine will be spending some time in the freezer, as well. Such a mixture of dread and wanting to know what happens!
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Oh, it's over? Perhaps now is the time to finally read them all. After I stop time and read everything else I want to read.

I've only ever read the first book. You all are making me dread the rest of it.

I'm trying to think if any character's death could gut me the way Ghastly's did, and I don't think so. Not even Skulduggery or Valkyrie (yeah, it would be sad and shitty, but I sort of expect it).
And, for the record, I'm STILL not over Tanith getting a Remnant.

No, they're pretty fantastic. Shit doesn't start to get really real until maybe book 5? Or 6? I mean, major stuff happens, but the impact doesn't really kick in until book 5 or 6. And it's still good, and funny as hell in places.

It's just that when bad stuff happens to characters you like, it packs a serious punch. And that happens. Not constantly, or even frequently, but the emotional wallop leaves a mark, as it were.
Highly recommended!

Hey. New board.
The not-published-here thing has kept me from getting past number 3. I just don't like reading real books these days and getting UK ebooks seems like much trouble.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am P-C in this. Currently reading Bring Up The Bodies.

I just got the first Harry Dresden book from the library, so I imagine I'll be down that particular rabbit hole for a while.

Remember your Skullduggery lessons as you read Harry.
