Good old Amazon. Me too. I bought some of my novels from here.
Speaking of novels. I'm about to start Truth and Consequences of the novels. After cracking open my old collection.

I remember that they did a decent job of writing Phoebe/Cole, and I think better than the show in this one.
How many times, I felt the writers on the novels did better than the real show. Of course, they didn't have Kern looking over their shoulder, and they had more freedom. BUT, that doesn't come without some problems, they still had their fair share of inconsistencies, but some of these novels wrote the sisters decent and better than the show.

If the novel is by Paul Ruditis or Diana Gallagher, you're in for a good one. Both these authors paid careful attention to detail.

And Paul Ruditis wrote the two ebooks, which were so fantastically written, and the amount of good continuity and references to the past seasons. He also did a mighty good effort fixing the mistakes S5-S8 did, and the S9 comics (although he had to include the children, as CBS wouldn't let him ignore the flash-forwards) he did the best he could.
I do think they did a great job writing the novels and they were among some of my favorites. If Paul ran Charmed than Brad, I'd be happier with him, of course, he'd still have had to deal with The WB demands, but at least he'd have the sisters written well.

I remember reading about Paul saying that, if he could have ignored the flash forward, he would have. However, he was overruled.

Too bad, I also wished they revived the Charmed novels, of course, we didn't get as many novels in the Prue years. Only 10.

And how come Prue never showed up in a Paige era novel. It's not like they had to worry about actor availability.

Same with Chris, I assume. Big Chris is missing when he should be there. Never mind, I might buy some novels as well on Amazon. Just need time, as always.

Well, Chris was in one novel, Leo Rising. Mind you, that was the second to last one to be published.

I have the last two novels. Yet I meant missing him before when the books followed the seasons. There are also German versions from Charmed. I could look there if Chris is inside.

Let me save you the trouble, Jana. Leo Rising was the only Charmed novel to feature Big Chris.

I just looked through the German versions and there are some more than the original English ones. That was my intention but the content doesn't say that much either.
