Driving back from the eclipse, Lee and I listened to an episode of Pop Culture Happy Hour that recommended The Twenty Percent True Podcast so we listened to all 12 episodes of Season 1: Modern Monsters. Essentially short stories with a fantastic element read by the author. Very enjoyable, highly recommend! We especially liked Episode 6: The Roommate

OMG I have become obsessed with the Toby Daye books. InCryptid got me hooked, and Indexing I also love (especially Sloane - I really want more so there's some follow-up on what happened at the end of the second - book? - set of chapters?

However I've grown to Toby (and her crew) just amazes me. I think Tatiana Mislany would be the perfect choice to play her in a movie/series (Anna Torv who I miss would be a second) and really regret there isn't a young Alan Rickman who could play Tybalt.

Sloane is def the best part of Indexing. I'm kind of meh on the rest of it. But I am with you on Toby & Co - love!

Are we getting a new one? ::checks iBooks:: Yes! The Brightest Fell 9/5/17 Oooh, the description looks wonderful.

I like Henry too. The first book was very disjointed, probably because the way it was written as a serial, but I think it comes together and I really like the second book, of course mainly because it was very Sloane Slanted. I still want more, especially the fallout to Henry possibly giving Sloane a true love's kiss.

Need to go read the description of the next Toby book. I was expecting it to be about the wedding which should be entertaining.

I HATE that we have to wait until 2018 for the next Antimony book. She got the short end of the stick in that family.

Ooh, no. You're right though. This sounds like fun. I figured those chickens would come home to roost eventually.

Antimony is absolutely my favorite in InCryptid. Really looking forward to her next one.

I don't dislike the Indexing characters, but I kind of dislike the premise that narratives are evil and Sloane is the only one I like enough to overcome that.

Antimony is absolutely my favorite in InCryptid.

I really, REALLY want an Alice book.

I haven't read the Toby Daye books yet, but the fact that there are so many make me happy. I love starting a series with a bunch of books ahead of me.

I got a library notice that The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter was waiting for me. I didn't even remember requesting it! Can't wait to read this one.

The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter

Fun!

Really liked The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter. Hit the sweet spot for that subgenre for me, I think.

Do not care for Alice. I feel like I am supposed to like her but I really just don't. The Prices in general are kind of irritating, but I put up with them for the cryptids who I generally like much more. And Antimony.

I really like Verity. I think I read Magic For Nothing way too quickly, because I wasn't left with much of an impression of Antimony. I need to reread it.
