I polished off Islington's THE WILL OF THE MANY on Saturday and I'm happy to report it ended on a strong note. I'm very much in for the sequel next year.

I had a long drive for work today so I listened to all of THE CASEBOOK OF SHERLOCK HOLMES which polishes off the massive audiobook omnibus of the 9 Doyle novels narrated by Stephen Fry. I would recommend this to someone that is interested in the classics for sure. Fry clearly has a deep love and passion for the novels and I would argue that they're pretty much timeless.

Next up I'm finally getting to Cornwell's EXCALIBUR. I'm ready for some heads to roll in this one.

It's funny, I know Pat loved the Sun Sword series over the House series, but I struggled to finish the Sun Sword series over the last year as it's SO dragged out....but the House series feels fresher to me as a result. That said, it's West so she still uses 1000 words when 50 would do...she freely admits to this...so YMMV.

It's probably going to take me a few years to finish out the House series though as I'm only on book 4 of that and there are 9 I think, because I find them more digestible after long breaks in between. It's the farthest thing from a binge series that exists.


It's probably going to take a while for West to finish the new series, so you should have ample time to get through the House War books in time to read the finale.

100%. I have a print on demand copy of the first one from the final series, but I know it's just going to sit while I plug away at the House War.
