Brief Cases by Jim Butcher

I just started. The first story is a little different since it is set in the Wild West and James Marsden isn't the narrator.
I liked the Wild West story. The Bigfoot stories were good. My favorite so far was the Johnnie Marcone.
Just finished. I enjoyed getting back into Dresden's world. My least favorite story was the three different POV of the last story.

It isn't exactly great but it did satisfy my nerdy cravings

I have watched one episode. I need to watch the rest of them.

Please do. I just finished the last.
The TV series isn't bad...Murphy is not how I pictured her but Dresdon isn't too far off, lol. They don't seem to be following any of the book story lines, though. That's why I don't usually like books made into movies...I like following the story line :)

I completely understand. Sometimes they do a good job on the adaptation, but other times the only thing in common with the books is the title and the characters.

I'm listening to the first Molly story now. I've always liked her :)

Yes, she definitely struggles with it.
Yes, she definitely struggles with it.
I like Butters, too. I think I just like everyone in this series, lol. Even Johnnie Marcone is good for a bad guy. He knows he's a bad guy but still has morals or beliefs that he sticks to.
Midu wrote: "I think the third episode follows the plot of Storm Front but very loosely"
I finished the TV series. That was the only one I saw that I remembered from the books. I did like it...Not as good as the books :)

Yes, Butters was adorable. I so forgot about him. I loved reading about him again.
