I am finishing up the 3rd one right now. Exact same situation as you. My gf loved them and talked me into reading them. Not to bad at all and a very easy quick read.

I'm about 2/3 through this, it's a complex read but great story. I'm kinda cheating, because I'm listening to the unabridged audio, but it gives me about an hour's worth of "reading" time each day in the car.

Bob, I meant to post earlier that I've been making my way through that series for the past year or so. Great stuff, each book builds on plot points that have come before. Grander & grander, especially as Harry advances in power, his life gets complicated.

Butcher does a good job weaving it all together, throwing in humor, building suspense. Really enjoying where the story has gone.

I've finished through Changes, will probably pick up Side Jobs before starting Ghost Story.

I think Butcher really hits his stride in this book. He was a little shaky in the 1st and improved with 2nd and 3rd. Now, he really has got it!
I've read these before and the 2nd time through is good reading.

In commemoration of the soon to be released movie, I'm re-reading the John Carter series by Edgar Rice Burroughs. In the middle of Thuvia, Maid of Mars. Fun brainless adventure.

Run by Blake Crouch. I'm not normally a horror/thriller type reader but I could not put this book down.

Started it Monday morning on my Kindle while waiting to pull permits and finished it yesterday morning. A 9.5 for me.

Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and Xenocide are all great. Ender in Exile is also really good. Ender's Game is by far the best, and one of my favorite books.
