They don't, at least not any nationally known TV or film actors.

Well, I am having a hard time to keep up with the youtube videos of Jim Butcher interviews you post so much. There is a big backlog in my watch later list.

The fan films are not going to improve things. Don't think there is any in my watch later ...

Life is too short.

That is, of course, up to you.

Didn't say I don't like watching them, just that I have hours of interviews to watch first.

I made the mistake of checking out Kindle Unlimited in the middle of Fool Moon. Now I want to figure out the end of the trilogy I am reading. The reread of the Dresden Files just going to have to wait a little.

Good luck on your reread - it will be a while with 15+1 book to read it all.

Yeah, unexpected distractions can be a nuisance! I hope you're enjoying what you're reading now, though.

Thanks...Oh its more than the 15+1. There are the non-Side Jobs short stories to read as well.

Book Review: Side Jobs by Jim Butcher

Posted by: Robbie May 27, 2014 in Book Reviews, Robbie

Here is a collection of eleven stories, ranging from very short up to novelette length, supplementing the novels of the Dresden Files. One was written before Storm Front, the very first Dresden novel, when Harry was still an apprentice detective and Jim Butcher was still learning to write. Another was suggested by his publisher as a promotional gimmick for one of his earlier books. One was written for this collection. And the rest were originally published in anthologies with stories by other authors, organized around themes like weddings and honeymoons, mead and beer, birthday mayhem, comedy, and romance. Also included is the novella Backup, originally published as a standalone title.

Posted on June 26, 2014

Jo Wylie ‘16 / Emertainment Monthly Staff Writer

HARRY DRESDEN – WIZARD

Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations.

Consulting. Advice, Reasonable Rates.

No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties, or Other Entertainment

The first Dresden Files book, Storm Front, hit shelves in 2000, and fans instantly fell in love with the only wisecracking wizard in the phonebook. Fourteen years and fourteen books later, Harry Dresden has become no less dear to the hearts of his many fans, and Jim Butcher continues to awe and excite us with every new title.

I think even Skin Game is still a very dark book. More in thought and calm than anything. That makes each evil person even more evil.
