Jim Butcher: I would like to kick you in the shins.

Battle Ground (The Dresden Files #17) by Jim Butcher

January 8, 2023 by ardaigle 2 Comments

At the time of this writing, I have not finished reading this book, but I needed to take a break to commit some rage to the page. If anyone knows the whereabouts of author Jim Butcher so that I could have the quick opportunity to kick him in the shins, please let me know. I’ll be in and out before he knows what hit him, the “what” being my tiny feet. This is going to be a spoiler-tastic review (in fact, I’m going to reference […]

“I am what I am, regardless of what anyone calls it. No one can change it, regardless of what anyone calls it. And it mostly means that nothing has managed to kill me yet.”

Peace Talks (Dresden Files #16) by Jim Butcher

December 12, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

I’m rounding third and headed for home with The Dresden Files, with only one more published book in the series to read. There were about 6 years in between book 15 and this book and if I had waited that long, I would have been disappointed, and a little mad. Here’s a one-sentence summary of books 14, 15, and 16 for explanation Book 14 – Everything happens. Maybe too many things? Book 15 – Heist and Hijinks! A moderate amount of stuff happens. Book 16 […]

It wouldn’t be CBR Bingo without me frantically catching up on everything I read but was too distracted to write about, now would it? Square: Cold – Fool Moon – DNF This is it, folks- my first DNF in YEARS! I just couldn’t do it. I started this book way back in JANUARY, and despite multiple formats and multiple tries, I just can’t do it. I know there’s a mythical “it gets better” carrot hanging out past the fourth entry, but I just don’t have […]

“Maybe my values are outdated, but I come from an old school of thought. I think that men ought to treat women like something other than just shorter, weaker men with breasts.” Oh, buddy. You were so close.

Storm Front by Jim Butcher

June 13, 2022 by RaRaGabor 12 Comments

This is another series that my husband has been reading forever, and I just never picked one up until now. Storm Front is the first of 25 planned books (19 are currently out). The set-up is similar in a lot of ways to Midnight Riot: Harry Dresden is a Wizard living in Chicago, and working more or less as a private detective. He is also on retainer to Chicago PD for those cases that are just a little too…out there. In classic noir fashion, a […]

Overall good but appreciated the stories by characters that aren’t Harry Dresden in particular.

Brief Cases by Jim Butcher

April 15, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

Last year I listened to the first Dresden Files short story collection, Side Jobs, to be able to listen to the excellent narration by James Marsters (on the recommendation of ardaigle!).  Marsters is a great narrator but he fell short when it came time for Karrin Murphy’s story at the end of the book.  For the next collection of short stories, Brief Cases, they brought on two female narrators, Cassandra Campbell and Julia Whelan for stories from Anastasia Luccio and Molly Carpenter’s POV.  No disrespect to […]

“The impossible we do immediately. The unimaginable takes a little while.”

Cold Days (Dresden Files #14) by Jim Butcher

April 2, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

In one word: Busy I finished reading this over a month ago and am now clawing my way through a backlog of tardy reviews on this snowy Midwestern APRIL day. Snowy. APRIL. DAY. In what we are calling Spring I guess? Ruuuuude. But I digress. When I dig into the recesses of my mind about this book, not much is surfacing, which isn’t a great sign. This book was reminiscent of an SNL Stefon skit. Bear with me here. For the unfamiliar, Stefon is an […]
