Not so sure I will be caught up before Skin Game comes out. Side Jobs has nearly an entire book left, and two of the books still left are over 18 hours. Still, I will continue to persevere at the rate already established. I might still be able to start White Night before the end of the month. My buddy read is going pretty fast.

62 DAYS LEFT!!!

I think I might be cutting it a little close for my re-read before Skin Game is released.

I haven't been reading as much as usual lately. I'm only 12% into Alex Verus. I have to pick up the pace!

You could choose to read Side Jobs later, the stories in there are fun but not progressing the main story.

White Night was not my favorite story (especially knowing what is still in store for you...), but has its elements. The ending rocks though.

. I'll keep checking, maybe a miracle will happen. Thanks for posting this, it's now on my wishlist, $8.99 is a really good price IMO.

Figured I'd try these now after a few recommendations. Got a 65% code, so I got the first three in a bundle at Kobo for just over five bucks. Guess we'll see if I like 'em.

I'm such an idiot, I didn't even think to check Kobo

ETA: I can't use a coupon code at Kobo, the publisher is Random House

Ah, but if you take a trip to Mexico, you can discount.

taosaur · 03-28-2014, 12:18 AM

I may just be ready for Skin Game by the time it releases. Right now I have a surfeit of riches with other series, and a couple series and several standalone novels on my TBR. I just finished up Codex Alera, which was great fun. In a lot of ways it was by-the-numbers sword-and-sorcery, but Butcher really brought the characters and the world to life.

Right now I'm re-reading book one of Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive, in preparation for book two, and there's a new Foreigner book coming from C.J. Cheryhh soon. The Malazan books are on my radar, too, but I'll probably put Harry ahead of them.

eschwartz · 03-28-2014, 12:27 AM

In about a month I guess I will start my own reread. Gives me ~2 days per book, but I have the time.

I won't be reading The Stormlight Archive until at least book 4. I have plenty to read in the meantime and refuse to taunt myself with a storyline that won't be finished for at least a decade. Thank G-d I only started A Song of Ice and Fire when book 5 had come out; even so, it will be years.

No more epic worldbuilding fantasy for me, until the home stretch!

I may even keep to that commitment.
