I don't know where this week went. I just kept forgetting to post anything, I also haven't finished a book in a while, or really read anything in a while. I think this might be due to me reading books I own, and I feel less inclined to read because with library books I'm on a bit of a deadline. Which is why this weekend I've started a book from the library. I've been meaning to continue this series, I was thinking of waiting to finish his other series that I've started first but there's a wait time for those books and not for this one.

*****************

Synopsis:

   Ever since his girlfriend left town to deal with her newly acquired taste for blood, Harry Dresden has been down and out in Chicago. He can't pay his rent. He's alienating his friends. He can't even recall the last time he took a shower. The only professional wizard in the phone book has become a desperate man.

   And just when it seems things can't get any worse, in saunters the Winter Queen of Faerie. She has an offer Harry can't refuse if he wants to free himself of the supernatural hold his faerie godmother has over him--and hopefully end his run of bad luck. All he has to do is find out who murdered the Summer Queen's right-hand man, the Summer Knight, and clear the Winter Queen's name.
   It seems simple enough, but Harry knows better than to get caught in the middle of faerie politics. Until he finds out that the fate of the entire world rests on his solving this case. No pressure or anything.

Q: Are any of your bookshelves bowing because of too many books? 

A: Nope. My shelves are fairly new, and I also regularly donate books that I no longer want/don't plan on re-reading. Though I'm sure if I kept all the books I buy they would be.
