Good thing you are using the actual reading this time and not Listening. The audio version may be good, but might make you miss some snarks.

Well you know black humor. Snarks. However you are calling it. I should have said pretty please.

But, didn't we talk about it? Turns out I am the only one that thought the questions going to be, well important. Or maybe Harry

I am really looking forward to the new series of Doctor Who. I have a feeling that Capaldi will do a good job. I always felt that Smith was too young. Tennant was perfect in my opinion...

Cool Good deals, what to read while waiting for Peace Talk's release!

Thanks to everyone for posting your thoughts on Codex Alera. I still have a "short list" of books I want to get to first, but I'm definitely going to give it a go at some point.

Cool SDCC 2014 Confirmed Panel, When Magic & Myth Meet Main Street



Quote:
3–4pm Panel: When Magic & Myth Meet Main Street, Room 25ABC
When stories mix modern cities like Paris, LA, New York with magic, myth and demon spawn they are collectively known as Urban Fantasy, and many of today’s popular authors are adding their otherworldly ingredients to the melting pots of modern (and not-so-modern) society. Join some of today’s top urban fantasy authors, including Greg van Eekhout (California Bones), Jim Butcher, Seanan McGuire and others as they discuss why something old with something new equals gold.

Cool Call Him Dirty Harry Potter

Quoted from The Daily Beast

Quote:

Call Him Dirty Harry Potter
Wizards, beware! Jim Butcher’s detective Harry Dresden is the new scourge of the underworld, and he’s packing heat. And a serious online following.

Jim Butcher, the author of the newly released Turn Coat, the latest installment in supernatural detective series The Dresden Files, is not like other authors: He’s beaten a Brazilian witchdoctor’s death curse.

I went back to October of 2011 to find this:

did you like them as well?

P.S.; I thought the Codex Alera series was a great fantasy series, myself.
(I like the parts that mimic the Roman Military atmosphere.)

Hmmm...sounds like I liked them! When I tried that with A Song of Ice and Fire I only got about 50 pages into A Game of Thrones before throwing in the towel. I also netflixed the DVD's for the 1st season of the HBO series and didn't finish watching the season.
