Happiness is learning there are more books coming

You guys. You guys! YOU GUYS!*

Jasper Fforde has another series.

I know! I'm excited too!

The new series is called The Last Dragonslayer. Those of you in the UK may be like "Alley, really? This is old news" because apparently the first book has been out there since 2010. But I just heard about it now because I'm not good at keeping up with things. Or being observant in general. Fforde Tweeted something about finishing a draft of another Thursday Next book (more OMG!!1!) so I checked out his website and what do you know. New (to me) series.

That is all. Please carry on with your day.

*I use "guys" as a gender neutral term, though I know many of you are ladies.

I AM a lady! But the excited 'you guys' is my favorite. Mostly because of South Park.

NEW BOOKS BY ALREADY-LIKED AUTHORS. MORE OF THESE PLEASE.

You should give one of them a try. They are all pretty spectacular. His website gives a guide to each of the series.

I know -- I've heard nothing but raves and swoons over it -- I'm not sure how I've missed his books but I so need to bump them up on my TBR!

OK, I'm glad this is news to someone else. I thought I had just been hiding under a rock and missed this. But still got super excited (obv)

I didn't know about them and I am all UK-ish, but I don't keep up with things either. But, YAY because I know how much you love him :D

This sounds great! But what about the Shades of Grey series? I hope he's not giving up on that one.

He still has the series listed on the site so I have hope he's going to continue with it. I mean he can't just end it with the first book!
