Got a kitten, which is consuming huge chunks of our time. HUGE chunks. I have been rereading the Pern books, am almost through the entire McCaffrey written ones. Don’t like the ones written by her son Todd. So next up will be a mystery, then the latest Michael Sullivan.

I bought the new Dresden files novel because Amazon had a ridiculously impulsive price on it and I couldn’t resist. Now it’s sitting here, waiting to be read and I am trying to recall where we left the series whenever the last one came out. (I may need to wiki it). I’ve gone ahead and preordered the next installment which hits shelves in September. I admit part of me is nervous that Jim Butcher may pull an Orson Scott Card and spread one book into two. But then again, he’s never done this before….

How many Dresden books are there now? I remember enjoying the short lived TV show, but after only two or three of the novels I lost steam. If you can catch those e-book deals on Amazon, sometimes the prices are unreal! For long running series like this, Wikipedia can be a lifesaver, especially for side characters names you’ve forgotten, exactly what happened in prior books, who is related to who, etc.
Happy reading!

Peace Talks is the 16th installment in the series. There are 18 books now — two short story/novella collections out there. It’s daunting, but I’ve been caught up since book seven or eight and it’s one of the only series I’ve kept current on (well, current for me, that is!) The fact that we get two books this year after waiting at least two years for a new installment (I can’t recall reading one since Shortcake was born but my memory may be tricking me).

can someone new to the series read the books out of order? because YES, 16 books, omg, daunting! i like big long series that while they make more sense if you read them in order, but the world won’t end if you don’t read them in order – Vorkosigan saga, Vlad Taltos, like those.
