Ghost Story by Jim Butcher

[Sheri, Bookworm]

We will be starting Monday!

[Lys]

I need to finish Side Jobs!

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I still haven't gotten my copy of Side Jobs from the library.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

10 chapters/day?

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I don't like this narrator. Why did they switch?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

10 a day is good. I might get behind on this one but will still finish by Saturday I'm sure.

My sister is coming to visit for a couple of days and she's leaving her kids here for the week while she goes to her class reunion. I've been trying to come up with things to do to keep them entertained while they are here. Should be fun :)

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Have fun! I will try to keep up.

They said it was a scheduling conflict. I don't like it either. :(
Marsters does the rest.
Check out this clip I found:

^^ Marsters on audio books and his Tootoot voice. :)

[Lys]

I might read this one. I really don't like the new narrator.

Sounds like a LOT of fun! I hope you enjoy it, Sheri!
Are her kids of similar age to yours?

Leigh wrote: "I don't like this narrator. Why did they switch?"

I hate it when they do that in the middle of a series, especially if you're listening to the whole thing. You get used to one voice and then have it change. Plus, Marsters is just a freaking awesome narrator.

[Lys]

Did you guys see my posts on Changes? I finally put them up.

They are 10 and 7 - my two youngest are 9 and 6. They get along well. They are actually my sister's step-kids, so we've only met them a couple of times before, so this will be good to get to know them better.

That's great, Sheri! It makes it easier when they are similar in ages and get along.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Wow, so Molly's gone all crazy on us, huh?

[Lys]

The six month jump on top of the lack of resolution in Aftermath is bumming me out a little.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I feel out of the loop because I haven't read the short stories.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Molly has gone crazy but she developed so power. The world has gone to crap without Harry. Love Murphy!

There's really nothing pertinent to the story you miss by not reading the short stories, but you should still read them :) In Aftermath you sort of get to see how that group in the living room came together.

I know! We've missed a lot in that six months. I guess I can see why it was done that way - so we could really see how the world would would be without Harry - but still...

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Is it because Harry's gone , the Red Court, or a combination of both that the world has gone to crap? Butter's has come into his own with bobble head Bob.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I think it's probably a combination if the two. Like Murphy said there is a huge empty while where the Red Court used to be that all the other supernaturals are fighting for. But Harry did a lot to keep things in check, probably without really trying to. He was the one really powerful wizard who did what was right and would take down the bad guys, no matter the cost, and the bad guys knew that. With him out of the picture, there was no one really who cared and enough and who was powerful enough to stop them.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Some of the White Counsil probably care, but they're busy trying to deal with the aftermath of the Red Court being gone.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Totally agree.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Do you think Kincaid is the shooter?

Murphy is a little scary now with all her badness and total disregard for the legal system.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I love Murphy.

If Kincaid is brought up as a possibility you're further than I am, but...I would like to think that he wouldn't actually hurt Harry. He said he would at one time if the price was right, I mean he is a hired killer after all, but I'd liked to think that Kincaid has some code of ethics, and him and Harry had been through a lot together.

[Lys]

I'm not quite caught up. I am annoyed that so far (as of 13 or 14?) no one has mentioned Thomas. It's really pissing me off.
Molly, you know who I most want to ask about

it's like a man gets a daughter and suddenly forgets the years of "MY ONLY FAMILY" .. like srsly.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Alyssia, I was wondering about that too. We have heard about everyone else except Thomas. What is up with that?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Alyssia, I'm about where you are...14 or 15 I think.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

A little further they discuss Harry's murder.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

WOW! The last few chapters blew me away! I so didn't see that coming! Where are y'all so we can discuss?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I'm on 25 right now. Harry just met up with Fitz.

Molly really has lost it, hasn't she? And Harry is the one who thinks it was Kincaid...interesting. I actually like this story so far. I love the idea of a ghost finding his own killer. Lea is a surprise.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Finished finally! (view spoiler)[I knew he was going to come back somehow, I just wasn't sure how it was going to happen. I was wondering where Mab was through this whole thing. I was surprised she 'let' him die.

So Kincaid, huh? I wonder what's going to happen with that - I'm sure Murphy would hate him if she found out. (hide spoiler)]

[Sheri, Bookworm]

Alyssa, where are you on this? Will you be ready to start the next one this week?

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I was shocked by the twist of his death/killer. I was wondering about Mab too. Lea was there so why not Mab? Everyone has changed since Harry's death some not necessarily for the better.

[Lys]

I'm not anywhere near done.
:(
But hopefully soon.
I'm working on midterms reports and my Dresden interest was just not there. I'll try to catch up though.

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Are we reading something else this week or skipping a week? I would love to start the next Mercy Thompson book.

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I'd be up for Mercy...

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

Do you want to start Monday?

[Lys]

Sorry. I'll try to catch up.
I've even done some reading, but it's been really light, easy stuff. I haven't felt in the mood for 'thinking' books.
no effort required, you know?

[Sheri, Bookworm]

It's no problem. I don't mind taking a break. Are you caught up on the Mercy Thompson series?

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

We understand, Alyssia. Whatever we read I will have to read quick because we are going out of town.

[Lys]

Oh cool. Where to?

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

It is my nephew's birthday Thursday and he wanted to go to the lake. Our family, their family and some of his friends are all going up there Thursday and coming back Sunday. I will be offline during that time. It should be fun...fishing,swimming and a lot of family time. YAY!

[Sheri, Bookworm]

How's the reading Alyssia? Will you be ready for more Dresden or do you need more time. I don't mind the break if you need more time for it :)

[Lys]

I should be ready for more. I'm also ok with waiting. However you two feel. :)
Thanks for waiting for me

[Sheri, Bookworm]

There's only two books left! What do you think Leigh?

[Leigh, ⚔️ Wonder Woman ⚔️]

I would be up for either .

[Sheri, Bookworm]

I say we finish Dresden!

[Lys]

I am still mad that Thomas got so little play in this one.
Go Justine though. Finally.
I love me a woman of action.

Also, Harry is a big old butt. Just saying. He was awful to Molly. Awful.
This one was better crafted than a lot of the books. There was more to look back at and more to consider. I liked that.
But it still took me forever to finish.
