Cold Days (The Dresden Files, #14) | Jim Butcher

My #BookSpin list for February is full of books from my TBR, with the exception of Night Shift by Stephen King, which is the #LosersClub book of the month. I will be getting it from the library since I don't already own it. All of the other books will qualify for my #ShelfLove reading challenge and many of them will qualify for the #2025OffMyShelf prompts as well. I picked mostly shorter books since February is usually not a good month for me.

Fool Moon | Jim Butcher

pick

Hexenwolves, werewolves, lycanthropes, and loup-garou are what you have to look out for in this Dresden tale… I really enjoyed this story about werewolves and such… although I wouldn‘t want to be in Dresden‘s position in this book great read

Battle Ground | Jim Butcher

so-so

This is one long battle sequence, hence the name. I found it very boring to read and ended up skimming most of the book.

Originally, Peace Talks and Battle Ground were one book. I would have preferred that. Cut a few bits out and make the narrative tighter and it would have worked. On its own, Battle Ground is a slog.

⬇️

PuddleJumper Because of the grand scale of things, many character details and plots got lost. Thomas was hardly mentioned for example.

The Murphy thing was very stupid and unnecessary. Harry didn't need more reason to fight. It was cheap.

It's still a well written book but I've not been enjoying this series as much. The last few books were very hard to read and don't have the re-readability of the early books.

Ruthiella Late series bloat… it‘s a danger , regardless of the series or genre, I think. 1mo

Look at that! It's become discoloured! 🤣

I'm going to start reading this for #CozyChristmas as I don't want this on my #Roll100 list for the third year. I know I've been avoiding it and with the recent disappointment of He Who Drowned the World, I will keep avoiding it

@peanutnine

peanutnine Oh no! Sequels are tricky, I hope this one doesn't disappoint! 1mo

Staring down 40c in Adelaide today. Doing everything we can to stay cool. If we do hit 40 it will be the earliest in the season we have since 2006

LeeRHarry It‘s heading our way in Melbourne tomorrow- I‘m already over the heat this summer and we have a looong way to go. 😐 Hope you manage to stay cool! 🤞 1mo

Darklunarose @LeeRHarry it‘s so long to go till May and so much heat ahead of us. I am not a summer person at ALL! The only good thought is we are one week till solstice when the days will then get shorter and we know we are heading back to nicer weather. Still May is a long way off. Stay cool tomorrow. Between the heat and the rain and the thunder you guys have had you could use a nice break. (edited) 1mo

Suet624 Wow. That‘s hot! 😳 1mo
