Folks, today I am thankful for another book series.
written by Jim Butcher.
The latest book, "Battle Ground" came out on Tuesday, September 29, and I received the library audiobook at midnight.
"Peace Talks" arrived in July, 2020, and they really are one book in two parts.
Harry Dresden is a professional wizard, and the series follows him as his knowledge and power grows from a private detective-like role, to The Winter Knight, working for Queen Mab, as they defend Chicago from some bad, destructive beings.
Harry is a regular dude, who makes mistakes, and doesn't do well in personal relationships. He oftens quips lines from movies and TV shows, which makes humans, immortals, necromancers, werewolves, vampires, and fae consider him a complete duffus.
Yet Mister, the street-smart cat, and a sacred Foo Temple dog named Mouse are his loyal companions, and occasionally assist Harry to vanquish evil.

Sounds like some great reads. I'll have to check those books out.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches to the kitties. ♥
I agree that sound really good! That reminds me that our garbage collector recommended author Christopher Rice. :) His works can be 'out there', the fellow said, and one needs an open mind. Thanks for giving me a great suggestion.
DeleteWe've not heard of those but they do sound pretty good! Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
ReplyDeleteWe have the same taste in books for sure! First the Elizabeth Peters series and now Jim Butcher. I just LOVE Harry and haven't read the latest, I'll be getting that one pronto!
ReplyDeleteDid you read "Peace Talks" from July 2020? If not, read them back to back...the story lines dovetail nicely. You'll be on the edge of your seat!
DeleteForgot about Joe Grey, we are sistas in our reading choices :).
ReplyDeleteWe have a loooong list of books waiting but you never know when an opening will arise
ReplyDeleteI have recently stepped into the 21 century...Yep
ReplyDeletebeing a germaphobic there was no way I was going to check out library books so I am know reading books on my iPad which are delivered via BookBub.
I mostly select free books. I might add coming to this decision was not easy. I love to touch my books and I love the book jackets. I also recently discovered LIBBY an app that all libraries have. Best sellers available for 2 week virtual check out. easy peasy just a few steps to sign up.
