What are you currently reading?
The Dresden Files: Ghost Stories (#13) by Jim Butcher. I'm about 100 pages from completing this book and like every other book, things aren't quite as they seem and Dresden realizes it just before its too late. In this book though, Dresden considers things - including how things would have been different if he hadn't taken the course of actions he had taken in the previous books and if he had to do it all over again would he? And in most cases he decided he would.
I'm really interested in seeing where this book is going to go. There have been drastic changes to the characters you've grown to love in the books, especially with Murphy and Molly, and you get to know some characters, such as Daniel Carpenter and Waldo Butters - that were in some of the previous books but not all of them - better.
Only 100 pages to go. I expect I will be finished later tonight or tomorrow depending on my work load.
What did you recently finish reading?
The Dresden Files: Changes (#13) by Jim Butcher.
The past month and a half, I have been voraciously reading through the Jim Butcher novels and found, like everyone told me I would, that I thoroughly enjoyed them. Like most of the paranormal fiction I've been reading, the world of magic, vampires and werewolves are still new and relatively unknown to most of the mortals in the world today. Harry Dresden, the protagonist and the person who's point of view the books are written from, is a wizard - and a declared wizard at that. Harry has his name in the yellow pages as a "Wizard".
In this book, though, a lot of unexpected things happen to Dresden which startle you, the reader, almost as much as it startles the protagonist. And the ending of the book ends in a cliff hanger. I can't express how much that upset me when I, for some reason, thought this was the last book published so far - thankfully it's not and there are two more so far.
If you like paranormal books with a very tiny touch of romance and no sex scenes in the books with a touch of mystery and a lot of action, you might check these books out.
What do you think you'll read next?
The Dusk Harbringer by Oliver Campbell and Danika Potts. I'll be honest, I'm a really bad friend. I was given a review copy of the book and I haven't had a chance to read it because I had just gotten into the Dresden File series when their book came out and was too hooked on reading those books (And now I find out they're not done yet and I'm on book 13, moving on to book 14). So I decided after I finish Ghost Stories I'd switch to The Dusk Harbringer and read that and review it.
If you haven't picked up
The Dusk Harbringer or
Rabbit in the Road yet, both will be free on Amazon this upcoming weekend, Sept. 28 and 29, 2013. I strongly suggest you click on the links to the books and grab them.
It's been a little while, okay a couple months, since I've done any of the daily writing themes for review sites. So tonight I'm back with today's Musing Monday's as posted by Should Be Reading's blog
