Exmond posted:Hah how the hell did I pick up the fourth book. I’ll pick up the first book and see how it goes. My library/Libby/Overdrive only has the audiobook for that one, probably the same for a lot of places, like Spotify/GPM having mostly the same library.

M_Gargantua posted:The audio books have only made the series better for me. James Marsters is a perfect VA for it. Yeppppp, same. It's tough to read it not in Marsters' voice.

Achievement Unlocked: We Liked That Version of Mad World, Too Use a slower, gender-screwed version of a song for your drama trailer It looks fine, it'll probably be fine. I wonder if this'll be one season and done or if they're going to do Stiletto next.

Omi no Kami posted:Unless I totally mistook who they were supposed to be, since like 70% of the original characters are gone, Myfanwy sleeps with both Gestalt and van Syoc, and Grantchester likes to put women's husbands in superpower-induced fugue states so he can sleep with them in front of their spouse. hooooooo boy I knew it would be but I didn't know it would be this impressively bad Has Starz done anything good recently?

Reading that excerpt in Marsters' voice, I am Ready. (christ, Butcher, you could use "their" instead of "his or her")

I just got Peace Talks from the library and if Harry doesn't have a TV or an Internet connection, how does he know what a Sharknado is? I hate these stupid books and also I'm three hours into the audiobook already. My partner started reading romance novels recently and hearing her talk about the differences between say, Nora Roberts and Jasmine Guillory is how I'm feeling being in the middle of Rivers of London and Dresden Files.

Gnoman posted:I think Molly's super-fancy apartment lets him have a working TV along with other conviencences until the Thomas incident, but I'd have to look it up again. He says he should ask the Svartalf to give him a TV and an Internet connection-thingy since they can give him heat and AC. I'm just poking fun at it, though, I'm still listening! It's just one of those things! docbeard posted:My general thoughts after finishing Battle Ground: Definitely better than the mess of poorly-edited exposition of Peace Talks (enough so that I think the two combined and actually edited a little would probably make a top-third-of-the-series novel). I suspect it will not stand up to much poking with sticks, but there's more I liked than disliked. Now, calm down, Neddly-diddily-diddily-diddily-doodily.

Got through Legends & Lattes, man, those were some loooooow stakes that I absolutely stayed up two hours past my bedtime finishing. Read the author's notes that it was a NaNoWriMo and yep, that tracks.
