Books are almost always better! I'm letting the TV series just sort of flow over me, and don't think it will impact my enjoyment of the books. Might have some "have I read this before??" sort of thoughts but will just let them go.
Preston & Child's Dead Mountain which features characters from the Pendergast universe (Nora Kelly and others) just came off hold. With books on hold it is usually feast or famine as they become available. Nice thing is the library has a way where you can delay receiving a book without going to the bottom of the hold list -- bad thing is it makes it almost impossible to plan on when you get a book.
Is sort of like the good/bad of chronic insomnia, it is sort of nice to have 5-6 hours available to me when others sleep but I'd really rather sleep well
