Brainwashed in Small Favor

OH MY

Did I really get so brainwashed as to not see it? Just finished chapter 38 in Small Favor and have a question for you that read and reread it often:
Spoiler:
Michael confronts Harry about having his head messed with. And all of a sudden Harry remembers last using his blasting rod at the first Gruff attack. Is it really gone as in gone from any mentioning in the book from that point on until then? And how did I never get suspicious. Sure now that I know, it seems rather stupid that I did not see it before. How could we get so brainwashed as to miss that? Yeah sure, if you don't say that you forgot your blasting rod, then you won't see that you forgot about it. Reason would be, you really forgot about it and not just forgot to grab it. Forgot to remember more like. I think Jim Butcher is using some kind of magic when he writes that. Is it really gone from the book?

No I meant. I mean, yes, I have to see for myself. Was just asking if it was really gone. Right now I am tempted to read and check that it is. Maybe it is different the next time around. But but, I don't want to, takes to long. So that is why I asked - to save me the trouble of rereading before I even finished the book. I don't want to know if it is gone forever, or if it returns. Just wanted to know if it is GONE from the book from chapter whenever it got lost up until chapter 38 ...

Thanks for nothing ....

Not a problem at all. I thought you did that on purpose. Had a fantastic laugh out of it. Thank you for that and karma for that too

There are 14 books in this series. That is a lot of discussion and speculation.

Hi all, I'm on Book 8, Proven Guilty.
I've thoroughly enjoyed all the books so far.
Proven Guilty is a bit slower than the others, but still a great read and only halfway through it so far and the pace is picking up now.

Working my way through Cold Days and my guess is Harry's solution to the Mab VS Maeve problem will be...
Spoiler:
Kill them both, let Mother Winter sort 'em out.

Just speculating, 77% done with the book.

They're both crazy nutters, but Mab has that whole
Spoiler:
holding back the Outsiders who want to destroy everything
deal going on, which Maeve would be a real horror show with if she gets to take Mab's throne.

I've finished Cold Days and I'm confused about
Spoiler:

references to Harry's parasite. But he's not infected with the "nemesis", so... it's a different type of infection? Not related to the knight's mantle?

Karrin needs more time? The guy just came back from the dead. I would have thought that she'd seize a second chance at their relationship. Given that he's feeling all kinds of randy, I don't think he's going to be able to wait around for her.

Molly will be fantastic in her new job. Can't wait to see what her first adventure is.

I have finished Cold Days too. What a great read. Who would have thaught in the beginning of the series it would be so great. And so much is going on in Cold Days.
Aaaaaaaaaahhhh and now the long wait for the next book.

I finished it too. I was semi-right about two of them getting killed. One I expected, the other not. ;-)

As for Karrin, she
