Waiting on Wednesday


This week, I'm listing a favorite of mine... Harry Dresden.

The next installation is being called "Ghost Story"


Supposedly it's coming out April 5th, 2011
:)

I'm not sure how accurate this synopsis is... seeing as how it's pretty vague and the only one I could find, lol!

Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard PI. Turns out the ‘everyday’ world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. But he’s forgotten his own golden rule: magic - it can get a guy killed. Which didn’t help when he clashed with unknown assailants with his murder in mind. And though Harry’s continued existence is now in some doubt, this doesn’t mean he can rest in peace.
Trapped in a realm that’s not quite here, yet not quite anywhere else, Harry learns that three of his loved ones are in danger. Only by discovering his assailant’s identity can he save his friends, bring criminal elements to justice, and move on himself. It would just be easier if he knew who was at risk. And had a (working) crystal ball. And access to magic. Instead, he is unable to interact with the physical world - invisible to all but a select magical few. He’s also not the only silent presence roaming Chicago's alleys. Hell, he put some there himself. Now, they're looking for payback.

  6. ACK!! Amazon lied to me! They told me t here was no cover!!!

    I have fixed this!

    I haven't read the Codex series yet... but yes, I do love Dresden. So much so that the show was ruined for me because of how much it deviated from the books. Dresden making out with those kinds of Vampires? I think NOT.

  7. Hi Heather

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't read any Jim Butcher stories, loved his Harry Dresden series when it was on TV though.

    This is what I'm waiting on this week.

    (Love the design of your blog by the way)

  27. Thanks for entering my giveaway to Darcula In Love. Your comment made me curious, and I must agree...you love The Historian, and DeathNote means that I really ought to follow you as well. :D I now follow your blog.

    I read Storm Front last year, and really loved the book, but did not continue on with the series as other books were begging for attention. Now, seeing that a new book will be released next year tells me that I really need to get the ball rolling...get up to date with the series, and see where all of Harry's antics takes me. I do like that character. :D
    Do you have a favorite book in the series?
