My favorite snarky Dresden line of the whole series. When asked what he wants on his vegetarian pizza, Harry responds...

And I have now finished the only two available books in my country.
I've already sended an email to the publisher, asking them if they plan to make more Dresden-ebooks available in Dutch. While waiting for an answer I'm going to read something else.
If I don't get an answer or they won't make any more ebooks available, I'm going to read the rest in English, because I want to read them dammit
Ow! Well I hope you get a favorable response, and soon. Book #3 - Gravel Peril has started out very well!!

Yes they are, in the sense that they follow a timeline.

Plus, Dresden will occasionally make reference to earlier books. He's already mentioned both books 1 & 2 in Grave Peril, however,it was done in a way where you did not have to read the other stories.

Finished Death Masks (freaking awesome!), just started Blood Rites...Im so beyond addicted. I have to limit myself to 2 per month but it's hard when I finish them within 2 - 3 days.

LOL! I was just about to bring that up! That TR is probably my favorite thing from all the books so far.

Something about this story is rubbing me he wrong way, and I can't figure out what it is. 34-ish chapters in (51 pages left to go), and I think I'm just getting impatient. It feels too long. I'm tired of Lea, I'm tired of Bianca, I'm tired of The Nightmare... I just want it all to end...now.

Well, you can't have it end *now*. That wouldn't make any sense. It has to end 51 pages from *now*.

Nyssa, bizzybody is correct, you shouldn't quit now, but when you've finished it I think that you should take a break from the Dresdenverse. You should consider inserting a book from a different genre into your reading schedule as your next book.

Oh, I didn't give up! I have 17 pgs left to go and I am enjoying it again. If I never see those ladies again, however, it will be too soon!!! Sorry for pouting, I just had to get it out of my system.

I was actually planning a break Alan, in the form of the February Nomination for the Mobile Read Book Club. We start nominations today, but it will be at least a week before we get final results. I may go on to book 4 in the mean time, but I haven't decided as yet.

*Sigh* I finally got to finish.

Well... that was somewhat unexpected...the nature of the quasi-finale, I mean. Plus Butcher ended with a cliff-hanger...
I have so many spoiler-ish things I want to say. But I won't.
Although, I must know:
Spoiler:
Is she really gone? The bat, not the girl.


I am worn out! When is the poor guy going to get something resembling a break!?!
