Changes by: Jim Butcher No, Dresden does not own a cowboy hat – or any hat. Yet he’s always got one on the cover. And the “runes” on the staff apparently spell “Matrix” in katakana. Two more bits I just remembered from Butcher’s Q&A session. Tangent: What is up with all the photo/photorealistic pictures on [...]

Last night I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Jim Butcher signing a the Cedar Hills Powells. The crowd was surprisingly large, bigger than the Brandon Sanderson crowd I think… which was really surprising and a little confusing, here’s about half the crowd: I sat next to his biggest fan, apparently. I [...]

Turn Coat by: Jim Butcher Even though I was impatient enough to move over to the hardcovers, I still went into this expecting to be finally bored by the series. I mean, 10/11 books is a lot for a series, you know? That’s a lot of investment into characters, story, etc. for no “big” payoff. [...]

Small Favor (Dresden Files 10) by: Jim Butcher This series just keeps getting better. The entanglement levels of the [...]

Dead Beat (Dresden Files #7) by: Jim Butcher I wish I’d written this review closer to the time when I finished, as I had some rather strong opinions about it at that point ….aaannnnnd I pretty much can’t remember them right now. Still, it’s time to move this downstairs, so the spice… err review must [...]

(Dresden Files books 4 & 5) both by: Jim Butcher I read these on the trip but couldn’t get the time to post a review. Trying to do so before I forget much more of them (yes, I do forget books *that* fast). I’m just going to cluster them together, since the series is basically [...]

Grave Peril by: Jim Butcher The Dresden Files do indeed seem to pick up with the third book – as was suggested to me by a few folks elsewhere on the net. Random note: apparently the author had the 1st 3 written before he was signed. The stakes are raised so high in this book [...]

Because someimes I read fast. Or the books are short. Or both. Storm Front (Dresden files 1) by: Jim Butcher and Fool Moon (Dresden files 2) by: Jim Butcher I’m just gonna review these two together since they seem to have the same strengths and weaknesses. As predicted and hoped for, they delivered pretty much [...]
