I can't wait to do the re-read before the release. I pre-ordered Skin Game from Amazon so hopefully I can time it just right so I start Skin Game on release day. It will also be the first time I read Side Jobs in between the main books. I completely forgot I had it during my last re-read of the series .
Just realized I miscounted for the last few days, because of your post. I accidentally counted my count that was 5min. ahead of the next day as the count for the previous day, and it went downhill fro there.

(even if it was by accident, you still helped. )

Cool Jim Butcher quotes...
.............................Name: Jim30.PNG Views: 323 Size: 26.9 KB
“You rush a miracle worker, you get lousy miracles!”

“Think of every fairy-tale villainess you've ever heard of.
Think of the wicked witches, the evil queens, the mad
enchantresses. Think of the alluring sirens, the hungry
ogresses, the savage she-beasts. Think of them and
remember that somewhere, sometime, they've all been
real.

Mab gave them lessons.”
― Jim Butcher, Small Favor

Cool Currently reading while waiting for Skin Game's release!
Last evening I started reading a book called Monster Hunter International (Monster Hunter International #1) by Larry Correia! I am also reading 4 other books. I keep pausing during the read of each of these books as I stumble on another book that inspires my interest. Hopefully this book has stopped that behavior as I'm finding it almost as much fun to read as The Dresden Files! Thanks Lea, for mentioning this book at the right moment!

If you like his Monster Hunter International series, then I suggest you check out his Grimnoir Chronicles series as well. Sort of a alternative history monster hunter series.

Indeed, MHI sounds promising, so I will give this one a try.

As I trust your suggestions, I went for the omnibus edition combining the first 3 books - that one is reasonably priced indeed.

Best regards,
Andy

Cool "Harry Potter" Books Getting New Covers...


Scholastic has announced that the seven Harry Potter books will each get new illustrated covers in the fall of 2013. They will be designed by Kazu Kibuishi, a Tokyo-born graphic novel author and illustrator.

Another suggestion from other forums with Dresden files threads (this one from Goodreads actually):

"London Falling" by Paul Cornell. Have just read (and enjoyed) that one.

The unusual thing (in the fantasy genre) was that that the protagonists (London policemen) get confronted with an evil spirit and need to come up with conventional ways to battle it, not having any expierence or exposure to magic. This is supposedly the first book in a yet-to-be-written longer series.

Best regards,
Andy

You are most welcome godson! I'm glad to be on the giving end of a recommendation for once!

Omnibus eh?
Was that over at Amazon? I'll have to check, as Kobo didn't seem to have the series, it's been awhile since I bought anything via the Kindle Store, hope Uncle Alf is up to date

Thanks for the reccy, Lea and Alan.

EDIT: Just like ridin' a bike. As soon as I'm finished Col Bailey's "Shadow of the Thylacine", I'm diving back into fiction again with Monster Hunters.

Thanks for the heads up on the Omnibus Edition, Andy_T.
