The novels of the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and non-stop fun. Storm Front is Jim Butcher's first novel and introduces his most famous and popular character-Harry Dresden, wizard for hire.

For his first case, Harry is called in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with the blackest of magic. At first, the less-than-solvent Harry's eyes light up with dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage. Now, that black mage knows Harry's name. And things are about to get very...interesting.

Although not a Romance, with The Dresden Files #1 we are starting a new Urban Fantasy series in March. We just need to decide on an exact date for: Storm Front, by Jim Butcher. Also, we need to decide if we are going to do this every month, or every other month.

Stop by, answer Discussion Questions, volunteer to do some, or just say, "Hi!" Or lurk, but...

EXPECT SPOILERS!

Fine females, do you have a preference on the bookcovers?

[Phoenix (Online Elf), Moderator]

Do you want to alternate this every other month with the Stephanie Plum series? Or the Sookie Stackhouse series...or both?

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Alternating with one of the other series is a good idea. I vote for that ;)

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

As for the cover, the man with the hat is kinda hot ;)

[Lauren]

I really want to start this series. Alternating sounds good - it will give me time to work on other series in between.

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Alternating sounds the most plausible, to me. We are really into multiple series reads in this group. Just like my own issues. LOL!

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

There are two covers with hats, Susan. LOL!

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Haha I know. It's the same picture though, just closer up and nothing in the background

[Kit★]

I'm in for this first one at least, got it on my Kindle :)

Agree with Susan ;)

[Lina]

Oh good! I'm in, this gives me plenty of time to buy the books :-)

[Gisela, Moderator]

I L.O.V.E. Harry Dresden! I don't think I can resist lurking at least!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I'll be listening to this one , my e-library has it on audio.

[Ren Puspita]

I want to join :D. I already read the prequel and like it so far. Plan to buy the book in early March :)

Hmmm, I'll have to see if our library has it on audio.

[Elishia]

I think i'm going to listen to these as well, i'll have to see which ones I have. I'll try and be good and wait till March ☺

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Yay! Yes, be good, Elishia. ☺

[Lauren]

I'm also going to listen to the audio. Can't wait for James Marsters narration.

[Elishia]

I'm finding it very hard because I have them ready and I saw Laurens comment about the narrator. But i'll be good since I asked people to read them with me.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I have it on my ipod ready to go too :D I'll start on 25th and try to to finish it fast ,cause Lover at last is coming out on 26th .

[Elishia]

oh god me too I can't wait

[Lina]

what's lover at last?

[Elishia]

Black dagger brotherhood

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I.CAN'T.WAIT !!! :D

[Elishia]

I won't be talking to you that day because you'll get it before me, actually I think i'll just stay off goodreads till i'm finished ☺.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Why do you say that? I'll get at midnight on 26th Amazon US time.which is my late night 26th.
I'm going to stay off GR too, I don't want any spoilers until I'm finished.

[Elishia]

Oh don't you get it early? Same here I hate spoilers I haven't even ordered my copy yet because my others are paperback so still deciding.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

The PB comes ion October, there is no way I want to wait that long. I'm buying the ebook the moment it changes from pre-order to buy. The hardcover is cheaper than the ebook but I prefer the e version

[Elishia]

haha I know I thought that was a mistake. I think i'm going to get the ebook and then buy the pb when its cheap to complete my collection.

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Heeheee, I'm hoping they change the ebook price before the release day

[Elishia]

I know its £8.99 here which is the price the pb will be and for £2 more I can get the hb. I hate having to make choices like this lol. If I knew the future ones would be in hb first then i'd just buy that one.

LOL we just hijacked the thread

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Sorry ladies we're just excited ,too excited

I'll be doing the same! I did it with Lover Reborn too.

And I can't wait for Qhuinn and Blay!!

[ShoSho , Moderator]

We should have a thread for LAL !

[Elishia]

Yay. I wasn't on goodread when I read them and I forced my friend to buy them but she stopped at Phury's book so she doesn't even know about Qhuay

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

Here I was, wondering why Storm Front had 17 new posts...

[ShoSho , Moderator]

LK we won't bother you all if you set up a thread for us to talk about LAL until the release day!

[Elishia]

LOL Sorry we couldn't help it

[Susan (susayq ~), Moderator]

Here's the thread for it, ShoSho!

thanks: D

[Elishia]

Shosho are you still starting this one early?

[ShoSho , Moderator]

I'm going to start as soon as I'm done with my in death book. Only an hour left of it

[Lisa Kay, Moderator]

I'll start early with you, Elishia & ShoShos. How many chapters are we reading/listening to?

[Elishia]

Ok i'll start tonight then. Its 9pm here so probably won't get loads listened to before I fall asleep.

[Elishia]

You listening to this one?

[ShoSho , Moderator]

Yep , I copied it to my iPod a couple of weeks ago ,You?

[Elishia]

Yep. I've heard the Audio's are good

[Gisela, Moderator]

I just finished and I loved it! I <3 Harry!!!!!! Ok, fangirl moment over. I love this series IMO this one is the weakest but still better than most fantasy out there. If you like Ilona Andrews, chances are you'll like Dresden, they share the same editor, Anne Sowards. Ms Sowards also edits Patricia Briggs, Anne Bishop, Karen Chance, Jack Campbell, and Rob Thurman.
*whispers* Is my geekiness showing? LOL!
