Is any one reading the full series of books? I am about to finish book 8 any day now and was hoping someone else might also have read the series.

Book 9, the final book, should be out in early 2020.
 
I've gotten through the trilogy. Can't remember if I got the fourth book yet. I watched the first three season on SciFy. Don't know where the fourth season airs...
 
Stalled out on... book 6 maybe? It's decent enough.

I'd love to watch Season 3 of the show but Amazon has the captions off by a few seconds.
 
Season 4 starts on Amazon on Dec 13.

Book 7 is probably my favorite of the books so far.

Book 8....... I really want to talk about with someone, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone still getting to that point.
 
I’m on book 7, but I’ve stalled at the beginning. One of those rare times when I think the show is better than the books.
 
I've really enjoyed this book series so far. I have a copy of book 8, but haven't cracked it yet (it's my motivation to finish the current book I'm reading that is less interesting - one book at a time!)

I'm looking forward to seeing where they're going with the "other" aliens.

I finished book 8 over the weekend. Not at all disappointed. My only disappointment is now I have to wait for book 9.

Next on my reading list, "The Right Stuff"
 
I have read all of them. My only problem is my reading comprehension isn’t what it once was. By the time I read the recent book I had forgotten most of what happened in the previous ones. Luckily there are some decent recap postings out there.
The series dragged for me a couple books back but the latest one was really good.
 
I've read five or six. Like with "The Three Body Problem", the Expanse paperbacks are made in super-extra-jumbo size. They are as wide as a "normal" paperback is tall. This width makes them almost unreadable for me. I'm extremely nearsighted. For leisure reading I usually read with my glasses off. I can barely focus on the page. If my nose gets any bigger, I won't be able to read at all.
 
I read all but the first two on my Kindle, which is my Kindle Paperwhite, iPad, iPhone.
 
Watched Season four over the weekend, and it did not disappoint!!! There as always were some artistic liberties taken with the source material, but I think it was done very well and with reverence for the source.
 
Haven’t watched it yet, but my wife and I are very excited to start it. I think I watched the trailer 4 times. I just finished up book 7, too.
 
I've read all the books, waiting on my paperback copy of Tiamat's Wrath in January.
