Unfortunately only the first two books are available in Dutch and no English books are available. Good thing I can read English and Kobo sells to the Netherlands.
I'm going to have a lot of fun with this series.
Thanks MR-members for pointing me in this direction
Welcome to The Dresden Files. Thanks for your participation in this thread. You're from the Netherlands, wow, cool! Hope to see you back again.

And thank you too Alan! I'm sure to be back to keep you posted were I am in the series and what I think of it. I don't think I'll be going through the series very quick though, because I'll be reading other books in between. Like the book I just abandoned to start this series

I just reread Harry's physical description of Murphy (Chapter 2 - Storm Front) and I just can't see it. I can not see her that way. The TV Murphy is firmly embedded in my brain.

I'm loving the Lash storyline! Also loving Molly's progress, even though it seems a bit clunky.


Already looking forward to the next one, thought I'm going to try to wait until the new year to start it.
Hmmmm.....waiting, huh?

I have read through the entire thread with amusement and interest. I have read all 13 books and also love the TV show. I read the books first, only because I didn't know about the TV show then. I blame my addition to the stories on my little sister.

I'm currently trying to pick my favorite book in the series, but can't. I believe I have to re-read them all.

Hugs,
Ratkity
I saw the TV series first and because I enjoyed it so much and was not happy when it was not renewed was what inspired me to go looking for the books. I've read them all twice now and my favorite is the one I'm currently reading or the one I read last.

I will move on to the next but not sure if it will be next or one or two down the road. I want to keep reading Dresden but I also don't want to burn myself out.

Spoiler:
I didn't mind that the story was building up to the final fight, I was sort of expecting it. This book though just had me wanting more, I wanted him to go back to trial and I wanted to see how that would play out since It was such a major point in the beginning of the novel. I guess the book could have been a couple of chapters longer at least, rather than ending it so abruptly. It was still good though and I will continue the series but that was just my one thing with it.
Just keep enjoying!

I didn’t like Fool Moon very much. I got bored with the repeated almost-dying-getting-saved-last-minute. And I think Harry is too whiny. But since I kinda liked Storm Front, and have been told the books get better later in the series, I decided to read Grave Peril anyway. It was better, especially towards the end. So I started Summer Knight. And it’s now been sitting quietly on my kindle for weeks.

I'm going to try to finish it, or at least read a bit more before deciding to put it away, it’s just that other books have been so much more temping so far.
Glad you're going to keep trying, here's hoping they will eventually please you.

Finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, now settling in to read "It's My Birthday, Too" and "Heorot" with the plan to start Small Favor tonight. Yay! So happy to be back with Harry!

Oh, and welcome to the new Dresdenverse residents! I'm so glad we've picked up some new readers for this year!

Edited to add: Gave TGWTDT 5 stars, in case Alan was wondering. Excellent book!

About half way through now and enjoying it, Bob made me laugh when he appeared.

Started getting a little lost in some of the characters and made the mistake of looking on wikipedia, read some things I didn't want to know about the characters

that's why this thread is soooo much better than wiki. sure wiki gives you everything but as you mentioned also things you didn't want to know. alan is our own harriki

just ask your questions here if you want some but not all information and i'm sure the masses would be pleased to help.

Just started reading the series and I already have a question: I noticed Harry is in some sort of trouble with the White Council. What has Harry done in the past, that is so terrible? Please don't tell me if that is a spoiler and I'm going to find out while reading. Otherwise, please tell Thanks!

Sorry! But that's the beauty of both Butcher's writing and his planning of the overall series story arc.

All will be revealed in due course. [Hercule Poirot]
