Dresden fans might find this interesting, worth a look since it's free.

From the creator of NBC's hit series, GRIMM
The Grimm Curse (Once Upon A Time Is Now)

Fifteen year-old Jake Grimm is the last living descendent of the Brothers Grimm, who wrote the famous fairy tales in the 1800's. But Jake grew up never knowing his true destiny until he ran away from his unhappy foster home, to the place of his birth--Woodland--a small town nestled deep in a Northwestern forest.

Nice! And a freebie too!

Jim Butcher tells the story how his dog saves his son from a bear.

CWatkinsNash · 04-12-2013, 10:20 AM

Last night I read the first three Ghoul Goblin comics. Based on the releases so far, I'm hoping the next is released very soon.

Pookeysgirl · 04-12-2013, 10:47 AM

I'm on to book 2 in Codex Alera. I'm so hooked. I knew this would happen

. The first one really reminded me of A Song of Ice and Fire...but much cleaner

. Jim is such a great writer, I really like all of his characters in all his books that I've read.

Did anyone else have an issue with words running together on your kindle versions? Quite a few pages I would have a sentence that looks like this: "...adding to the blubberyfat beneath its hide", really weird

.

Ooh, that is a pretty high recommendation! I may just have to check out Codex Alera then. Thanks!

Skin Game has 31 ratings on Goodreads and not a single one of them has read it. Goodreads should not allow ratings unless a book has been released. and the person rating it has it in his/her shelf as having been read.

I've never been to Goodreads, do you mean they put stars beside the book or do they actually comment on it like a review? Just curious. If people are going there for recommendations that's pretty ridiculous for them to do that without having read the book....even though I know it will awesome

It has 5 reviews which are not reviews. 31 people rated a book they've never read. This is just lame.
