It took me by surprise how much I enjoyed the TV show for this and I would like to read the books

Same! I watched the TV show fifteen minutes late with coffee, as it were, and enjoyed it way more than I expected to. (Although I'm always a sucker for heists, so I shouldn't have been surprised I enjoyed that storyline!) I read and enjoyed the Six of Crows duology, but don't plan on reading the rest of the 'verse. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them, though!
