Of course, once the newest book comes out and we read it, we will have to wait a while for the next one...I hate waiting...
Currently 2.49 @ Smazon US. On phone so can't link!
Man-oh-man! I just paid full-price for that in PB. Drat!
Can we please read this around 20-25 of March? I won't be able to do it in April :(
Yeah, April isn't very good for me, either. I'm putting my house on the market.
Lauren and Gisela, are you happy to read this one and #13 both in March?I won't be able to do it in April and Lisa Kay will be busy too.
I'll definitely be listening to Ghost Story in March but am not sure about this one. I might leave it until April and them come by the thread to answer DQ's. Sorry.

OMG I just noticed ,he's got a gun instead of his staff ! what does it mean ?(Don't answer if you know the answer:D just a rhetorical question)
Yeah, I noticed that, too. Eep!
Maybe because his staff was destroyed? Just a guess coz I don't know :0)
Could be. Another staff gone.
I'm fine reading whenever
or maybe he has lost his magic?!
ShoSho wrote: "or maybe he has lost his magic?!"Good Gravy Beans! I knew you were thinking that. **sigh** I certainly hope not.
I hope not either but we have to wait and see
Oy vay! I hope he doesn't lose his magic :0(
You want me to answer that?
Gisela wrote: "You want me to answer that?"No :D
Gisela wrote: "You want me to answer that?"Absolutely not :0)
Not even under a spoiler. Since I have NO willpower. LOL!
I'll keep my mouth shut too (or rather keep my fingers still.) :)
**snort**
I'm going to start in a week or so!I'm waiting for you to finish Ghost story !Joann you didn't join us for Ghost story!Are you in for this one?
I wasn't able to join for Ghost Story - drat when real life gets in the way. I'd love to join for Cold Days though.
That's great Joann!
Yay! Joann's joining us.
That's great, Joann. The more the merrier. I won't be starting Cold Days until April though - I have a buddy read of
coming up and then I'll be listening to
for a challenge. I'll just have to avoid the spoilers and answer DQs when I get to them :0(
I'll try not to start before the last week of March. And nobody else is reading at that time, I'll do the some Qs but won't post until you all start. I'll have access to internet but no time for audio book.
For everyone else, when do you all want to start this one? What is a good date? April 1st? Or later?
Lauren wrote: "That's great, Joann. The more the merrier. I won't be starting Cold Days until April though ..."What is a good start date for you in April, Lauren? We'll start when you want to.
April 1st is good for me - get the month going with a bang :0)
Great, Lauren. Thanks for letting us know.
Sure thing, Lisa Kay. I'm looking forward to it :0)
Lauren , are you ready for this?
Discussion Questions for Chapters 01-09
1. I was expecting him to wake up in Demonreach, since Mab told him he’d have to prepare for the journey to her court, but he woke up in the Knight’s suite! Mab has a unique sense of physical therapy. Comments.
2. He’s got his mother amulet back! I’m so relieved. I wonder if he ever gets back the other magical things he had: the staff, the rings, blasting rod, and the shield bracelet?
3. What do you think of Sarissa and her relationship to Mab (Mab’s BFF!), her bargain with Mab, and what Mab had planned for her and Harry?
4. We met a few new interesting characters from the Winter Court. Comments:
a.) Cat Sith5. What a birthday party! What did you think of oversized ice furniture from his apartment? I thought it was creepy!
b.) Kringle AKA Santa Clause (what was he before becoming Santa?)
c.) Redcap
6. So clever of Sarissa to do what she did with iron hidden in her chopsticks! But it could have gone really wrong. Comments.
7. Is Harry going to kill Maeve? Why Mab chose now to have her killed and have Harry to do it? Should Harry have confided in Sarissa about his assignment?
Maeve’s “vajazzled” area: (view spoiler)8. Don’t you just love Toot-Toot?! But why does he keep growing? And what do you think about the Munstermobile?
Dresden Teeshirt9. Not again!! I hope it doesn’t take the whole book for Harry’s friends to believe he is really Harry.
Munstermobile - just picture it dark blue and with an electric purple flame painted on it...
I don't think we've talked about this but I might have forgotten!Anyways ,I was reading this review and the reviewer was bothered about why nobody thought what Harry did (have Kincaid kill him) was a suicide.
Do you think it was suicide?
I can't decide. Suicide is supposed to be the wrong thing to do but Harry did it because he thought it was the right thing to do ! “Here Lies Harry Dresden. He Died Doing The Right Thing.”
I consider it a type of suicide.
Yes! I'm ready!!!I do think it is a type of suicide. While he didn't want to die, he felt he had no other choice. To him, death was preferable to turning into someone like Lloyd Slate
is on audible :D yaaayyy

Synopsis under spoiler.
(view spoiler)[HARRY DRESDEN LIVES!!!
After being murdered by a mystery assailant, navigating his way through the realm between life and death, and being brought back to the mortal world, Harry realizes that maybe death wasn’t all that bad. Because he is no longer Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard.
He is now Harry Dresden, Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness. After Harry had no choice but to swear his fealty, Mab wasn’t about to let something as petty as death steal away the prize she had sought for so long. And now, her word is his command, no matter what she wants him to do, no matter where she wants him to go, and no matter who she wants him to kill.
Guess which Mab wants first?
Of course, it won’t be an ordinary, everyday assassination. Mab wants her newest minion to pull off the impossible: kill an immortal. No problem there, right? And to make matters worse, there exists a growing threat to an unfathomable source of magic that could land Harry in the sort of trouble that will make death look like a holiday.
Beset by enemies new and old, Harry must gather his friends and allies, prevent the annihilation of countless innocents, and find a way out of his eternal subservience before his newfound powers claim the only thing he has left to call his own…
His soul. (hide spoiler)]
