Brief Cases (The Dresden Files, #15.1) by Jim Butcher

We will start reading this book in June 4th.

Please feel free to join in and read with us at any time :)


Description:
The world of Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, is rife with intrigue--and creatures of all supernatural stripes. And you'll make their intimate acquaintance as Harry delves into the dark side of truth, justice, and the American way in this must-have short story collection.

From the Wild West to the bleachers at Wrigley Field, humans, zombies, incubi, and even fey royalty appear, ready to blur the line between friend and foe. In the never-before-published "Zoo Day," Harry treads new ground as a dad, while fan-favorite characters Molly Carpenter, his onetime apprentice, White Council Warden Anastasia Luccio, and even Bigfoot stalk through the pages of more classic tales.

With twelve stories in all, Brief Cases offers both longtime fans and first-time readers tantalizing glimpses into Harry's funny, gritty, and unforgettable realm, whetting their appetites for more to come from the wizard with a heart of gold.

I have a few stories left. I actually love Marcone....even though he's technically a bad guy :) I would love some sort of spin-off with him.

Yes, he has ethics if that is possible to say for a bad guy.

I love Molly. She was just getting started in her training when Harry "died." She was doing the best she could with what she knew.

I think I only have one story left :)

Yes, how dare Mab criticize how Harry trained her. Poor Molly was thrown into a crazy situation that she wasn't fully informed about. Poor Carlos! I kind of liked them together. Mab loves to ruin things!!!!

I actually had two stories left. Butters! I forgot he was going to be a Knight now. Can't wait for more of that.

I loved the story w/Butters! He is such a good character that really wasn't suppose to have much page time.

I know it makes me sad that they really can't be together.
