I have begun reading Fool Moon, and it's better than Storm Front so far. I've stopped at Chapter 8 for today, Tomorrow I'll read even more. For a 400 page book it's fast. The beginnings in the two books were strong suits. But here I'm surprised at how easily the tempo is kept despite Bob popping up. I am starting to believe that Fool Moon will be better altogether.

Thanks. It's fun to post my journey towards Skin Game, little by little. This site is an awesome resource and forum.

Agree that this site is really an awesome resource! And reading interests are so varied and subjective that it's always interesting to read what other people thought about the books I enjoy!

OK, finished Storm Front. I like Harry Dresden's kind of humour, and his clear rejection of social Darwinism. There's some sense of a serious agenda behind the action/magic entertainment (which I found a bit meh, I have to admit), so based on that and the assertions of the local fan club that it will get better, I'll pick up the second book soon.

I always default to the longest setting, although I do make sure to check it in early if I finish it so the next person doesn't have to wait as long.
But many people don't know how to return an eBook early or they just don't bother since it will automatically go back. The problem is that when the library has a 3 week loan, accounts are automatically set for the 3 weeks instead of 2 weeks more reasonably. To be honest, I think 3 weeks is too long and loans should be 2 weeks maximum. With the new hold feature, eBooks can easily be managed so not to have to have too many ready to borrow so 2 weeks is not enough time to read.

I checked the Boise Public Library website. Searched for Jim Butcher in the author field. It gets 101 hits - but there are a ton of "hits" listed by authors who are rather much NOT Jim Butcher, not even close - except for a Jim Dutcher.

So I expand the full list and check all the boxes for the not-Jim-Butchers and hit the Exclude button and does it cut out all the wrong "hits"?

NO! It cuts them all! No results found.

Don't you just love completely broken database searches?
It's easy to fix that problem. You type in Jim Butcher in the sort box, get the results, you click on a book by Jim Butcher to bring up that book's enntry. Then you click on the name Jim Butcher and all you get are books by Jim Butcher. You can then pick the media type of eBooks to get rid of audiobooks in the results. If for some reason, language is an option, that means more then one language, so select English to further whittle down the results and go from there.

I've almost finished Fool Moon the second book, and it's way better in every way, but not everyone will see it that way. I'm glad I got persuaded to read this book based on what I've read by the Dresden fandom.

I am glad you gave it a try. The next one is even better. He was really improving his writing skills in large strides in the beginning.

Finished Fool Moon. Veeery satisfying read. I gave the book 4/5 stars. the first 75% of the book was great! I wasn't thrilled by the finale, but you can't have everything. I'll read book three next month.
