I have 2 more books to read in the Harry Dresden series. I can't believe it I thought there were more.
I'm still iffy on them.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I think they have big flaws, but they're entertaining popcorn books for me.

I like them and I skim a by and then go re read. I feel that at times there is too much in the books but also too much time between the books so I get lost in the timeline and feel cheated a bit out of story.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I pretty much love everything Seanan McGuire writes and consume it as soon as it's finished. For anyone starting the Toby Daye books, though, be aware that the writing gets a lot better after the first book. That may have been her first book, actually. I just know that I wasn't sold at first and fell in love with the series after I read 2 and 3.
Yeah, the first Toby book was a slog for me, mainly because it was also an info dump as I think I said at one point. But it WAS fun to re-read after reading the whole series. I love her "family" now and who ever said Connor was a drag was right on the money. Never got the appeal.

I finally allowed myself to order Skullduggery: Resurrection from the UK. I live the way their email tells me my shipment has been dispatched. So much fancier than shipped.

BTW, for Seanan McGuire fans, but Sparrow Hill Road is basically a stealth InCryptid novel. It's more about supernatural than fantasy creatures but if the heroine isn't the Aunt Rose we've heard about but not met yet, I'll eat my hat.
No Aeslin mice so far, sadly.

Actually, looking at the first Alex Price book briefly, where they mention Aunt Rose's last name, this is definitely her.
