As a Minbari, you should have to turn in your headbone, or at the very least, shave it all the way down. :guffaw:

Re: The Dresden Files
 

They don't come off... ;)

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Here, use this belt sander. :lol:

Re: The Dresden Files
 

They started putting Sample Chapters up for Skin Game... almost there.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I'm still in "Changes" (p. 279, 63%). I'm pre-ordered for the "Skin Game" hardback and the Kindle version.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Lovers of the Dresden files who have a Kindle - first seven books are currently $1.99 each:

Looks like it's today only.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

OT: Demonn, are you going to watch Constantine (TV series) when it's on NBC this Fall? Looks interesting, similar in flavor/genre to The Dresden Files, and should be a good companion show for Grimm.

Maybe The Dresden Files would've been better off on NBC.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I don't know, I saw a preview for it while I was trying to watch something on YouTube and my first thought was... "I don't know who that actor is." I've never seen the guy in anything so I wasn't as interested as I probably should have been. I might check it out though.



I think they just did a horrible job with it... I just watched Bitten (another book turned syfy/tv show) on Netflix & I thought it was done very well. I haven't read the books but I found very little to complain about.

Watch, now syfy won't pick it up for a second season.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

So I started watching Dominion on SyFy (first time I've watched anything on there in a LONG time)... watch they'll cancel it.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I'm watching Haven on DVD via Netflix. Currently on Season 2 Disc 4 (which must be all extras.).

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I started watching Haven on Instant but then gave up on it at the end of whatever season the cops were gonna hook up but then the chick got kidnapped or went missing.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

That's at the end of Season 2, where I am now. Part of why I like it is that Maine~Nova Scotia is one of my favorite areas, picturesque, great seafood, etc.. I like the show and the characters.


I like the far northeast, New Hampshire, too. :D

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Demonn,

I just got The Dresden Files graphic novels "War Cry" #1, #2 and #4, and pre-ordered #5 (all Kindle)

IS THERE A #3 ??? I didn't see it on Amazon.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I would think there should be a three... it comes between two and four. :p I've never even looked at any of the graphic novels though so I don't know.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Oops, I thought you were in-the-know on all things Dresden.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

It turns out that the Dresden Files graphic novel "War Cry" is in 6 parts, and is coming out in hardback in December. #1, #2, and #4 are available in Kindle form, with #5 available for pre-order in Kindle form. I asked Amazon why #3 isn't available on Kindle but is available in softback, in an email. Should know in a couple days.

I thought that #3 was just filed wrong. If I'd known that #3 was missing in Kindle form, I'd just have ordered the hardback.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Amazon's reply:

Re: The Dresden Files
 

We are now waiting on Book #16, Peace Talks... for those of you not reading the series you have plenty of time to catch up. READ THE BOOKS... please. :D

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Well this has turned into a long wait... the book better be good.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Two years is nothing. I'm still waiting on "Winds of Winter."

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Agreed. Right now, I'm just over halfway through "Cold Days" (Book #14). I keep looking for pre-order availability on "Peace Talks" (Book 16).

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Are you going to remember where you left off? Don't spoil anything for me, 'cause I'm still in the middle of Book 14 "Cold Days."

My reading schedule suffered because I spend too much time on Twitter. 🙄🙄🙄

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I remember where I left off... I reread Dresden Files. I'm probably behind on some of his short stories though.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

If I ever retired, I'd be able to catch up on my reading.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Hour here, hour there... Weekends... I normally find the time. I like to lay down with a book and just close it when I start to fall asleep, Best Rest Ever. Day napping has become my new hobby on the weekend. I love it.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I tend to fall asleep to one of my Abbott and Costello or Three Stooges DVDs. The comedy is sort of like comfort food.

I'll have to try your method.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

They put Bob Ross on Netflix too... It's very relaxing to watch AND fall asleep to...after you wake up you can scroll to, or back to the end of the episode to see what he was painting. Very relaxing...

Re: The Dresden Files
 

:thumbsup: , however I dropped Netflix.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Ok... I'm Pre-ordered. I normally don't participate in pre-ordering because then THEY have my money & what do I have? Nothing... It seems that in some instances they've taken it a bit too far or sidestepped the original purpose entirely by being stupid.

For instance... video games. THEY have a set amount of copies coming to the store. You have to pre-order so they know how many copies to send to the store... EVENTUALLY you get the... "Sorry, we only have 15 copies coming to the store," line. If you're taking pre-orders why don't you take my money and get another copy to "come to the store"? The whole purpose of pre-ordering was so they would know how many of whatever they were selling... pre-ordering has ruined video gaming.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I've never experienced a pre-ordering problem, but then again, I haven't played a videogame since 1994. Now, what little leisure time I have is spent watching the TV shows I've recorded and erasing them on the DVD-RW, watching DVDs/Blu-rays, Twitter (politics), watching YouTube videos, walking my dog, and reading on my Kindle,

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Great to see more Dresden fans here. I have never seen the TV show, but enjoy the books a lot. And I am very much looking forward to Peace Talks.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

The TV show got me started on the books. Currently reading Skin Game, but am in no hurry to finish it because I want to go right into Peace Talks..

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I am doing a slow re-read right now aiming to be finished with Skin Game at about the same time.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Sounds like a good plan. :thumbsup:

I'm concurrently working on Salem's Lot, several nonfiction books and the entire Longmire series of books.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

On the same theme, me and my girlfriend enjoy the Dresden Files board game a lot. Today though we got beaten by the Death Masks scenario three times in a row. That game can be merciless sometimes.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

We wait so long for Peace Talks and then he gives us Peace Talks, AND Battle Ground. Book 17 has a September 2020 release date.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

Drat! You beat me to it! I was just coming here to tell YOU. :rolleyes:



Battle Ground (Dresden Files Book 17)

Jim Butcher

Releasing on September 29, 2020

Kindle Edition: $14.99

Hardcover: $21.97

You posted that in APRIL? Amazon just sent me the notice a few minutes ago.

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I felt like I was slow to notice it when I did... He's got Chapters 1 & 2 for Peace Talks up already.

I guess the Peace Talks don't go well. :p

Re: The Dresden Files
 

I'm guessing that there will be some treachery involved and maybe some good ol' Harry "Fuego!" :D

Re: The Dresden Files
 

The description for Battle Ground makes me feel like we're approaching an ending & I hope there's still a little more to go before we get there.

Chapter 3 is up...
