  • Jim Butcher "Skin Game" **SPOILER FREE**

    No, I've not finished reading it, I have a paper to finish writing for my summer class, then I'll allow myself to indulge.

    Anyone else ready to join team dresden....with Nikky and the Nickelheads into the depths of hell?

    Got it this morning..finished through about 4 hours ago. Didn't actually sleep during the day the way I'm supposed to, but got a 3 hour nap So tired now...good book though. Although there were some parts that I predicted before I got to them, so I was a little sad about figuring out the mystery too early

        I'm reading it now, after listening to my boyfriend laughing, talking to the characters and to the author and various other exclamatory noises. So far, it's interesting. Harry is... being Harry.

          I'm a fairly new Dresden fan, powered my way through the audiobooks over the space of a few months this past winter. My husband picked up the book for me yesterday after his doctor's appointment and I started reading at work.

          Only a few chapters in, but my favorite line so far: "Because [he] is a murderous murdering murderer."

            The first (and second, and third) word of spoken dialogue from Harry made me burst out laughing, mainly because I yell it over voicechat when I'm trolling friends during a game of any shooter I play on PC

              Gah! I'm so sidetracked by Watch_Dogs that I forgot to buy/download a copy of this to my Nook.

              Gotta get on that!

                The biggest problem is the incerdibly obvious RetCon

                Otherwise was a great book

                            Ditto. I may have to dig it out after I finish the Honor Harrington tome I am working through since I finished Skin Game
