Well I picked up Fool Moon from the library yesterday and started it last night thinking I'd only read one or two chapters. Unfortunately I was unaware of the hex on the book that made me unable to put it down until I finished it. Now I want to read the next book, but it's checked out. So instead ... ... might freeze over, I hasten to add. I picked up six new books this week alone, plus one library book. Argh!
Finished Fool Moon and it was a **ripsnorter**. Poor old Harry Dresden managed several days without sleep fighting vicious werewolves. I was exhausted by the end myself! (Nothing ... ... Harry Dresden (Storm Front) and really enjoyed it, so I might be fighting him over the chance to start the second one (Fool Moon) tonight. :) He also read Tinker and liked the concepts, but not the kissing bits. The sequel for that one will be for me alone, when I get around to buying it. ... M is for Malice last night, and it was (yet again) a spiffing tale.
Not sure what will take its place tonight - Fool Moon is towards the top of the pile, but I've got a craving for Oscar Wilde and the Candlelight Murders... if I could find *where* my copy is... 74: Fool Moon by Jim Butcher - 09/16/08-4.64

Was tempted by Wolf Who Rules and Fool Moon, but will have to get those another time.... After finishing Fool Moon the other day I perversely decided to reread In the Company of Others right away.
It will definitely be some time before I pick up the next Dresden book. Entertaining, but like a light snack - tasty, but it won't sustain you.
I think I'll pick either The Book of ... ... not being able to be in the company of those characters any more.
As my next read I've deliberately picked some fluff - Fool Moon, the 2nd Dresden book. I can't afford neglecting life around me the way I do when I get sucked into a story like the one I've just finished. The dishes need to be ... I think the Harry Dresden books by Jim Butcherwould fall into the fantasy/mystery catagory.

Full Moon: Book two by Jim Butcher, I don't think I liked this one as much as the first book in the series. That maybe because the story was done in the TV series, which I ... I've just finished White night - having started Fool Moon on the 25th March. Which means I've been reading about Harry for 3 straight weeks.

Harry Dresden is starting to get close to the dark side, but he's probably only light grey. Fun reads though.

I'm about a third of the way through Fool Moon by Jim Butcher. Storm Front didn't exactly blow me out of the water, but I figured I'd try another book or two.

I started Fool Moon by Jim Butcher last night. I had a bit of an issue the other day and haven't really been doing too much reading. Long story short it turns out someone was sneaking into my house last month while everyone was gone and charged $150.00 worth of porn. Very upsetting would ... Based on LT/GD references: Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb.
Based on LT/GD, but also having read 2 others: Fool Moon, Harry Dresden #2 by Jim Butcher
Based on reading the Pliocene & Galatic Milieu books by Julian May, I picked up Conqueror's Moon, # 1 of a fanatsy series. I'm currently reading Fang and Fur Blood and Bone which I plan to have finished before the weekend and will be starting Fool Moon by Jim Butcher. Finished up Fool Moon and am now reading Snake Pilot, continuing the trend of alternating fiction with non-fiction. ... finished The Overlook by Michael Connelly and am in the middle of Killing Critics by Carol O'Connell. Also finished Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, the second in the series about a wizard detective from Chicago. All were/are excellent mysteries and novels. ... Currently I'm still reading my non-fic and The Off Season which is a YA novel. Up after that will probably be either Fool Moon by Jim Butcher or The Stone Prince by Gena Showalter. Over the weekend I knocked off Prador Moon and "Twenty-Three Minutes to Eternity" (see reviews). Now I'm working on Fool Moon. Just finished Fool Moon, the second Harry Dresden mystery, and am torn between starting right away on the third in the series (Grave Peril) or reading one of the dozens of library books I have borrowed that are sitting on my shelf. *sigh* Decisions, decisions! Just finished Fool Moon and am madly in love (lust?) with Harry. As I said on another thread, even if Harry wasn't a powerful wizard, he'd be lovable. With his powers, he's irresistable! Anyway, while I liked Fool Moon a lot, I still like Storm Front (the only other of the series I've read) ... 66. Fool Moon by Jim Butcher. 4-1/2 stars. Another winner about Harry Dresden, with whom I am now madly in love! :) Even without his wizardly powers, he'd be lovable; with them, he's irresistable! As to the story, it wasn't quite as compelling as Storm Front, though it was good, but ... Success! I had to drive to a neighboring city today and while there stopped into the B&N where I finally found Fool Moon.

Yep, sounds like! I'm going to hit a couple of the larger bookstores today and one or the other should have Fool Moon. If not, I guess I'm going to have to break down and buy it online. Can't wait! Just stopped by to say hi and whine a little. I haven't been able to find the second book in the series (Fool Moon) anywhere I've looked. The library doesn't have it, the local B&N doesn't have it. Two local indies and three indies I visited while on vacation two weeks ago didn't have it. I'm ... I was going to read Fool Moon by Jim Butcher but after going to the movie of the Order of the Phoenix, I decided to get out my copy of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to read instead.

I was going to start Fool Moon from the Harry Dresden series but after going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at the theater I came home and immediately dug out my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Book Description:
Business has been slow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able ... Reading Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, the second in the Dresden Files series.
