mellicious: Yoda: "Post every day you will" (yoda - nablopomo)
Who else here reads these books? (For those of you who aren't familiar, this is urban fantasy about "the fae" - i.e., fairies, written by Seanan McGuire.) I've been reading them for five years or more - I know there were already quite a few books by the time I started. Somewhere along the line I started taking notes, because I realized they were just packed with clues and Easter eggs and stuff. My notes have gotten more and more elaborate - I won't usually look at other people's thoughts and theories (but if you want to put yours in the comments I'll make an exception!) and I won't usually look at the wiki, although I've been known to consult it when I'm looking for specific information - publication dates, names, stuff like that - a few times. The idea is, I'm trying to do my own clue-hunting.

This year when there were two books published back-to-back (in September and October, I think it was?) I really went into overdrive. My notes got really massive, although since they're handwritten, still, there's not as much of them as it appears. It's a whole "Big"-sized Happy Planner with medium disks, at the moment - it might have to have expander disks eventually at this rate. (I toy with the idea of typing it up but so far I haven't!)

Between the publication of the two (books 17 and 18), I had pages of questions and things I thought were left hanging, etc. - most (but not quite all) of that got answered in book 18. The series is supposed to wind up with book 20 in a year or two (or three). I'm gonna miss it when it goes!

(The specific thing I'm obsessed with lately is, which character is going to turn out to be Queen Maeve in disguise? I've thought it was Marcia for quite a while, but I'm not as sure as I was. I have a list of possibilities, and it's been growing.)
