Get rid of that damned hat. It just makes every cover a disaster.

Cool This week’s Dresden Drop

This week’s Dresden Drop: The official series reread has begun with Storm Front! Join us on Goodreads for an epic undertaking as we reread and discuss all 15 published novels, then take on the 16th! The schedule:

#1, Storm Front: 1/13 – 26
#2, Fool Moon: 1/27 – 2/9 (now on sale for $1.99! See below)
#3, Grave Peril: 2/10 – 23
#4, Summer Knight: 2/24 – 3/8
#5, Death Masks: 3/9 – 22
#6, Blood Rites: 3/23 – 4/5
#7, Dead Beat: 4/6 – 19
#8, Proven Guilty: 4/20 – 5/3
#9, White Night: 5/4 – 17
#10, Small Favor: 5/18 – 31
#11, Turn Coat: 6/1 – 14
#12, Changes: 6/15 – 28
#13, Ghost Story: 6/29 – 7/12
#14, Cold Days: 7/13 – 26 (Peace Talks out 7/14th!)
#15, Skin Game: 7/27 – 8/9
#16, Peace Talks: 8/10 – 31

(Note: This schedule may seem counter-intuitive, as Peace Talks comes out just as we’re diving into Cold Days. The advantage is that it gives all fans the opportunity to read and digest Peace Talks before diving into group discussion four weeks later–we know not everyone is going to be able to devour the book the week it’s out! You’ll definitely want to read ahead on your own and make sure you’re caught up before reading the new release.)

Oh, I'm quite aware of that mismatch and personally, really dislike the hats pictured on Harry in the cover art as well, but I figure that if Jim can stand it, so can I. Besides Chris McGrath is a really talented artist even with the hats, which by the way, were requested by the publisher at the very beginning of the series. Also check out the cover of The Aeronaut's Windlass, in which the main character who is pictured on the cover wouldn't be caught dead without his hat, yet is not wearing one in the cover illustration (a joke between Jim and Chris).

Cool Excerpt from Peace Talks

From EW.com

Excerpt from Peace Talks, by Jim Butcher

And that was when every hair on my neck suddenly rose and stood on end, all the way down to my heels. Gooseflesh erupted over my entire body at once, and a primal, primeval wave of utter terror flickered through my lizard brain, utterly dislodging every rational thought in my head.

For a wizard, that’s . . . less than ideal. Control of our own thoughts and emotions is vital. Otherwise, all kinds of horrible things can happen. The first lesson every practitioner learns is how to quiet and focus his or her mind. And in the face of that mindless fear, I ran to that first lesson, allowing emotions to slough away, seeking calm, patience, balance.

I didn’t get any of those. But it was enough to let me shove the terror back and to start processing some degree of rational thought.

Excerpt truncated; full quote available in link. -ed.

Sounds like Harry hasn't lost his touch. Or Jim Butcher for that matter.
