UFR: Thanks for the recommendation. The Vampire Huntress series is on my future reading list. I'll hopefully get started reading the series later this year.

Highlander82: I am recommending the series by L A Banks, it's Buffy from the Ghetto and it is a wonderful series. The characters are all well rounded and kick ass. The first book is called Minion. Have Fun.

UFR: I agree that the tv show was not very good, they unfortunately strayed too far from the core ideas that make the book series great. I think the graphic novelization will be better because Butcher is more heavily involved with the process. Dabel Bros. did a pretty good job with the Anita Blake series, so I am hopeful that the Dresden comics will have a high quality standard that the tv show lacked.

Highlander82: Jim Butcher has given so much with Harry Dresden, it's one of those series that leave you guess, but didn't translate well in the TV series not enough magic and too far from the books. Hope the graphic novels are a better hit.

wow gold: hello,anybody home?nice journal website!

Highlander82: I wanted to recommend Christopher Moore's Fluke it is really worth it. The laugh out loud moments are great.

Justin Gustainis: Just wanted to let you know thatmy publisher, Solaris Books, has released the cover of "Evil Ways," the second "Quincey Morris Occult Investigation." If you'd like to copy and paste, the cover, as well as some information about the book, can be found here:http://www.solarisbooks.com/press-releases/press-release-poe.asp

mandi791: Hey! just stopping by cause i never been here before! Nice place, stop by and leave a note, maybe we can exchange...? LMK!

UFR: K, your post got cut off so I may need to get a little more info from you before I can help. You can leave a message in the comments area of the latest blog entry which will give you more room to leave a longer message. Besides Anita Blake the two most popular necromancer series I can think of are Dante Valentine by Lilith Saintcrow and Greywalker by Kat Richardson. If these aren't what you're looking for, you'll have to leave a longer message in the comments and I'll see if I can help.

K: Hi,You look like you read a lot of books. Honestly I have read about 90% of the books you posted about last year. I was wondering... there was a book that came out earlier last year that I read the first chapter of online and I couldn't find it later (of course I didn't write down the title or author). It was similar in genre to what you blog about and I thought you might know the book. It is about a woman who is a necromancer or medium and in the first chapter she goes to a crime scene to 'rai

A nickle for your thoughts

Mood:
Music: RHCP
Reading: Embrace the Night

In the tenth installment of the Dresden Files, Harry finds himself once again caught in the middle of a conflict between the Summer and Winter Courts of the fae. Queen Mab of the Winter Court calls in a favor that Harry owes her. Mab informs Harry that Chicago's leading crime lord, John Marcone, has been abducted by the Denarians, fallen angels bent on corrupting and destroying mankind. Harry is reluctant to help Marcone at first, but Harry soon realizes that if the Denarians are able to corrupt Marcone to their side they will have control over very powerful power base within Chicago to cause more havoc within the city. Harry's job of rescuing Marcone is further complicated when the Summer Court sends in her henchmen, the Gruffs, to try and stop him from his mission.

In the course of trying to track down Marcone, Harry soon discovers that the Denarians have bigger fish to fry and the power used to attack and abduct Marcone was just a test run and the Denarians are really after a powerful source of magic and knowledge that will spell the end for mankind if they are able to corrupt that source to the fallen angels side. Once again the underdogs, Harry and friends team up to fight against overwhelming odds in their fight to save mankind from the forces of darkness.

I really enjoyed Small Favor and it turned out to be one of the best of the recent Dresden books. Butcher quickly gets to the meat of the story in the novel and takes you on a frentic, faced paced ride. Butcher has also created one of the most complex and creative worlds in the urban fantasy genre. This book has a great cast of supporting characters, even if a few are under used like Thomas and Murphy. A few new surprises are dropped into the story line that leave you curious and guarantee that you'll be back for more Dresden adventures. In a genre that is dominated by female protagonists, it is refreshing to read a story from a male point of view. Harry's got a lot of heart and humor that has helped to make him one of the favorite characters in the urban fantasy genre. Harry is definitely a character that is getting better and better with each book and I am eagerly awaiting more of that wry, wonderful wizard. It's gonna be a long wait for Dresden book 11.

For more Dresden, you can view four preview pages of the comic Welcome to the Jungle, at Jim Butcher's website.

I still haven't read Storm Front and now feel like an idiot 'cause it's been sitting on my shelf for months. Time to get into Dresden.

I need to get back into reading this series. I keep on picking up Proven Guilty but end up reading something else instead.

I guess I just enjoyed James Marsters reading the books that I would happily listen to them all instead!

I finally got my hands on this and was disappointed that Jim Butcher hasn't moved the story along as far as it could go. Harry is still great, but the mention of this black council with no further information is a little boring and he gets laid, but now what? Still good books, but Jim has forgotten to move the characters into a direction which will keep his fans like me happy. Shame about Micheal, great that Harry has caught Uriel's eye and wow!!:)
