It just occurred to me that I never made my book-tracking post for this year. You may laugh…

Ooh! If you like the Dresden Files, you'll probably also enjoy Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London series. In the US, the first book is called Midnight Riot, book 2 is Moon Over Soho and book 3 is Whispers Under Ground. It's about a young mixed-race police officer who is a wizard-in-training for the London Metropolitan Police.

The series reminded me of a crossover between Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere. Definitely worth reading.

Ahhh, I must read Barry Lyga. He has successfully creeped me out at two readings in a row, plus he seems to be the nicest dude. ::makes grabbyhands at his books::

Do! I enjoyed this book, but I'd point you at Boy Toy first. It's both intriguing and uncomfortable to read -- it made me feel like a sexual predator by proxy, which was a very strange experience (and impressive!). Let me know what you think, if you pick it up. I have a copy somewhere, but I doubt I'll get to see you in person to hand it off. :P
