Book Post ‘08: 1, 2

January 24, 2008 at 2:27 am (books 08)

I’m calling the bit of Neverwhere I hadn’t finished a half book. I really do love that ‘verse. And Gaiman in general. It’s just so clear that there are dozens of stories you’re only getting hints at, and, well, that’s just the way it is.

And the part of Fool Moon (Dresden 2) I hadn’t read as a full book.

I like Book-Harry, though he’s very not tv-Harry. I’ll certainly be continuing with the series.

So, between the 3 parts-of-books, I’m calling it 2 whole books.
