“Sometimes I get tired of being the guy who is supposed to deal with un-deal-withable situations.”

Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher

June 27, 2021 by cheerbrarian 1 Comment

Aight people. Still on this Dresden train, this one gets a solid three because of a plot point I am taking big issue with that we will get to in a moment.. Overall, lots of good action and development in this book. It’s always a good time when the faeries get involved. The standout greatest thing about this book to me is the character development we got with Charity this go-round. I’m always thirsting for more female characters in general, and especially with Butcher as […]

In the name of the Pizza Lord. Charge!

Summer Knight by Jim Butcher

Here I am again, another Dresden file closed! And I’m still along for the ride. The gang is all here: the entire wizard White Council, a blast from the past Dresden thought was gone, kooky fairy godmother Leanansidhe, more oodles of fairies, wolfy friends, and head of SI Karrin Murphy. Speaking of, I had NO IDEA he was spelling her first name like that until I started looking up quotes for my post title: the perils of audiobook. That led me to read another review […]

If Spike is reading, I’m listening

Fool Moon: The Dresden Files, Book 2 by Jim Butcher

January 18, 2021 by cheerbrarian 1 Comment

Back for another installment of The Dresden Files, as read to me by the impeccable James Marsters, aka, Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. If listening to him read is wrong than I don’t want to be right. He is so soothing in my airpods, just the perfect pandemic listen. He has just the right gravel in his voice to BE Harry Dresden, wizard detective, and the acting chops to make the other characters distinctive and interesting: all in all, a very solid audio performer. […]

Spike as a wizard detective is the everything I needed in 2020.

Storm Front by (The Dresden Files #1)

December 30, 2020 by cheerbrarian 2 Comments

Let me get this out of the way. For the life of me, I struggle to identify the difference between science fiction and fantasy. I think wizards/vampires lands us firmly in the fantasy camp, but I’m not certain. I feel better having confessed this. That out of the way, let me give a thanks to the CBR community. I was looking for a new audio book to sink into and went searching through posts on the CBR facebook page and found a post from someone […]
