LT had one but only for Canadians. Bastards. I'll probably buy it with a coupon eventually. I still haven't read Thursday Next yet. Still have one more MM Dresden to read, then I really need to focus on my yogic reading. ]]> <![CDATA[Cameron recommended the book Shades of Grey to Becky]]> http://www.goodreads.com/book/recommendation/666214 Cameron recommended the book Shades of Grey to Becky

Who do the lesser magical powers turn to when threatened? One would hope they would seek the counsel of their local Warden, Harry Dresden, but then why do they flee from him, throw protective wards up against him, and send him nasty scowls? It couldn't be his oh-so-charming demeanor and highly evolved sense of humor, could it?

Not only must Harry untangle the web of deceit pinning a string of apparent suicides to his doing, figure out if the real killer is one of his nearest and dearest, deal with a headstrong apprentice with a penchant for veiling herself, he must also deal with a stiff-collared prude with bad fashion sense and a sharp tongue.

Some days, one should ask this wizard why the whole city rests on his shoulders. Oh, and his demon is nearing total assimilation of his soul. ]]> <![CDATA[Cameron added 'Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77375495 Eternal Echoes: Celtic Reflections on Our Yearning to Belong (Paperback) by John O'Donohue

Sorely disappointed in this exploration of the Omega wolf, which struck me oddly as all of Brigg's previous urban fantasy have been wonderfully engaging. For some nebulous reason I had difficulty even finishing this one. The characters seemed slightly off, as did the plot. The central conceit of this series is the dynamic between Charles as an uber-Alpha wolf and Anna the Omega wolf and I felt like there was much more to be mined. ]]> <![CDATA[Cameron added 'Proven Guilty']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74560928 to: Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, #8) by Jim Butcher

B-movie monsters (the A-listers were all booked) get fleshed, run amok, cause fear, get blasted by Harry, who, since he is now all official and Warden-cloaked, has even more impetus than his own over-large sense of nobility and do-gooderness to save the day. And at the end of this one, Harry gets a big ol' bonus - the kind that entails lots or responsibility and effort, not unlike a previous ending bonus, but less evil, hopefully. ]]> <![CDATA[Cameron added 'Dead Beat']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74559500 to: Dead Beat (The Dresden Files, #7) by Jim Butcher

Sue the Tyrannosaurus Rex is worth the price of admission to this frenetic Halloween treasure hunt.

Going to absurd lengths to protect Murphy's reputation when a big bad from the past dangles some incriminating evidence in front of Harry, our favorite wizard-for-hire proceeds to hamster the wheel as he tries to discover what the elusive article of exchange really is. Of course it would be too simple if bickering factions of necromancers and their hordes of undead and nasty minions weren't after the same thing Harry needs to find to clear Murphy. Halloween night will see the unveiling of a serious amount of death magic which will leave Harry with a special little present: the erosion of his soul. ]]>
