Sifr , nice to hear! I hope you enjoy it. I'll have to admit I never dared watch that tv series of Neverwhere. I might look it up sometime, though, and see how different it is to the version in my head (After reading that book several times over the years..) In fact, Neverhwere was my gateway to Gaiman's books. I enjoyed the quirky, refreshing style so much I started collecting the other books, as well. And, at the time, I was on-off living in London, so the whole tube map and name explanations amused me greatly. I snickered to myself every time I passed some of those places mentioned in the book. * * * “You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.” ― Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys

Reading this book atm. And...I'm rather enjoying it. I do really hate sister Ariel, cause she's a psychopath that's manipulating someone she 'saved'. Her stated goals are for the better of her order, but its her tactics I'm really despising. Loving the series otherwise though. Though I am kinda glad its wrapping up atm.

dragontartare How are you coming along on your Witcher reading? I finished the first 3 (last was Blood of Elves) but the rest are in my "to read" pile behind a couple of others. And I don't want to play the games again until I've read them all.....ugh.

And I don't want to play the games again until I've read them all.....ugh. I'm on Time of Contempt right now. Actually have been for a while now, because I haven't read much the last two weeks. They've been quick reads otherwise. I think getting to know the real Geralt may change some of my choices in TW3 next time I play, at least dialogue choices. And maybe I'll finally even play the first two games. So far, I wish less time was spent on political intrigue and more on the main characters directly, but at least the politics get woven into Geralt's story. If I can get through the political slog of The Wheel of Time series, then this is nothin' I don't actually feel like TW3 spoiled that many details from the books, though it does spoil some of the main events. If you're completely unspoiled thus far, then it's probably a good plan to read the books before playing.

What do you think of the books so far? I was a bit thrown by the first one since I thought it would be one story rather than a collection of shorter tales. They were, more or less, in chronological order, but I seem to remember being confused sometimes about what happened in what order, and how much time was passing in between. I also don't think the map I have in my head based on how the books describe stuff meshes with the game map, at least for TW3. Skellige seems like it should be much farther south than the game shows it to be (west-northwest of Novigrad) due to its political ties with Cintra, which is south of everywhere we are in-game and one of the first places to fall to Nilfgaard. As for characters, I definitely recognized all the major players. They were very consistent with their game versions. We'll see if that continues as the series progresses but so far, no disconnects!

This a very mediocre book on teenagers with superpowers, but powers that aren't exceptional or have serious drawbacks. It's not terrible or anything so I'll continue reading it but not sure I'd recommend it. Have to wait and see what I think at the end.

"The Tactical Guide To Women" Shawn T Smith A nice, blunt, no bullshit book about how to date without destroying your soul. Basically, some of the women I work with have been very, very effective at destroying my capacity to trust women as whole. Also, I've fallen out with my mother and it appears it will stay that way (and that is for the better!). So I thought this would be a sort of reset- not on the situations, but on my perspective. I saw some stuff by the author, and I figured it was worth a shot.

Babylon's Ashes, the sixth book of The Expanse series. So far not enjoying is as much as the previous ones because some of the POV characters make me want to throw things. In their face. But I still have a good feeling about it because I love these books so much. I am currently on book 7 and have loved all of them but yeah I know what you mean re this book, I thought it ended well though.

Finished Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch - by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett a while ago. I have read plenty of Gaiman, one of my long-term favourite authors, but not much by Pratchett before. I found this one a quick read, delightfully fun and witty, though, and wanted to read it before hopefully managing to watch the tv adaptation of it. Good Omens is one of my favourite novels, I cannot recommend it enough to anyone that hasn't read it.
Speaking of Neil Gaiman, I picked up Neverwhere yesterday. I recall seeing the BBC television series (made in the 90's) about ten years ago and thoroughly enjoying it. I'm really curious to see how the book differs from it, since his foreword made mention of having to cut a ton of material for the series by producers... which he snuck right back in, when he wrote the book.
I love Neil Gaiman, probably my favourite author. Trying to get my teenage daughter to read Good Omens ATM. I really enjoyed Neverwhere, it's a great book, the series didn't do much for me but I'd read the book before hand. If you like Neverwhere I'd also recommend The Graveyard Book, that's also pretty good.
