Welcome to Litsy!

Dresden is the only wizard (that we know of) in Chicago and he‘s up against some pretty scary werewolves. And sometimes he helps the police and sometimes they‘re locking him up. And sometimes the werewolves help him and sometimes they nearly kill him. Then there are the local mafiosi to contend with. Who‘s killing innocents in grizzly ways? Everyone has a reason to find out, and Dresden keeps making foolish decisions but ultimately the crime is ⬇️

I‘m all set for both #eyespybingo and #spinbingo (I have got to look up the actual hashtags.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I want to like these…..it‘s not that I don‘t it‘s just they are a little lacking. I liked the first installment better.

The second book in the Dresden Files series, this installment does not disappoint! Better and faster paced than the first book, this time Harry takes on werewolves of all kinds. A story focused on good vs evil, as long as you can figure out which is which. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 ❤️📚 #serieslove2023

Finishing #FoolMoon, the second book in the #DresdenFiles series today. It‘s better than the first!

So, this was a fun fantasy frolic, if a bit on the gory side — lots of graphic killing, so tw for that. Harry Dresden makes an interesting, contemporary wizard — magic with common sense, and a huge need to do good in the world but also pay the bills. The contrasts were sharp in this book, with the underlying theme of the battle between good and evil, specifically within the self. Who are we really, when the question is asked?

Started a new one on my lunch break — magic and murder and werewolves, oh my!

Reading book # 2 in the Dresden Files series for #serieslove2023. ❤️📚

This is the 2nd book in series. Better than the first.

I just had to get the next one. And yes, I have book 3 lined up too.

Book two picks up shortly after book one. This time Harry has to battle werewolves.

Fool Moon is one of my favourite books in the Dresden series by Jim Butcher

Finished this over my lunch break today. #LunchtimeReading It‘s another good installment in the Dresden Files #Series. This is a #reread for me. I started this series years ago and am just now picking it back up so I am rereading from the beginning.

I‘m trying to do a little better at posting what I‘m reading. I started a reread of the Dresden series a few weeks ago. This is book two. Also, how cute is my little kitty sitting on my clean blankets? #CatsOfLitsy #PetsOfLitsy

Today‘s #LittensDressedinBlood prompt:

“Killing Moon”

Two paranormal suspense favorites that fill the prompt well I think!

🎧 Title, good play on words. Book 2!

Time‘s passed since book 1. Murphy is avoiding him since the giant scorpions because internal affairs!

One of Marcone‘s men is killed horribly so Murphy gives in & calls Harry for help, story takes off from there.

FBI agents show up. People can change into werewolves at will. Including Harry.

FUN! I enjoyed the variety of werewolves & Marcone is a good character to oppose yet help Harry.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good story but needlessly complicated plot and way too violent for the likes of me. I will recommend it though to the fantasy lovers for whom it will be a better fit.

I don‘t understand how this guy is a best selling author. The writing is basic, cliche, cheesy, and grossly sexist. After reading the second book I am completely turned off from the series.

This is book 2 in the series and I liked it better than book one. There was more character development and world building for one. Also, the pace of this one was better and I liked the story. 4⭐

Slowly rereading the series so I can refresh my memory before reading the last two books. (Also catching up my Litsy posts from my fall reading...oy very!)

I think I'm falling in like with the hot mess that is Harry Dresden!

James Marsters is great in this role and for me is the main reason that I'm looking at the rest of the series because he just works for me as this character. I cannot imagine another actor in this role so definitely looking for book 3 if nothing more than I get to listen to Marsters yet again.

An excellent fusion of fantasy and modern setting with a few weaknesses. For the full review, please visit http://benjamin-m-weilert.com/index.php/2020/10/21/book-fool-moon-2001/

I don‘t normally drink coffee but today is an iced coffee kind of day. I have testing at work and a sinus head ache to go with it. So I will be sipping on, or chugging, my coffee and listening to my audio book while I get through the testing!!

Absolutely loved the second installment of the Dresden Files. It took me a long time to get into this book. It starts slower than the first but after coming back to it multiple times it clicked and I couldn‘t put it down! I absolutely love the characters Jim Butcher created and can‘t get enough of them! Already bought the next one!

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, it‘s finally clean. Second, I can not fold to save my life! Third, I‘m tired and ready for a bubble bath!! 🤣🤣 #hehtwilight #audiocleaning

I decided to do some audio cleaning and go through my closet for donations and just a general re-arrange. This is what is happening!! It‘s spilled out of the closet and covered most of my bedroom floor!!! Oh man there was so much more stuff in there than I thought!! 😭😭 more time for my audio book!! 🤣

My #Litsylove organizer is done! @Seekingtardis here you go. The box was $10 at Target and was just painted white. I fixed that.

My recommendation would be to skip Storm Front and go directly into this one. It recaps things well and it doesn‘t feel like you‘d be missing out on anything big. Fools Moon was a great installment but only a ⭐️⭐️⭐️. In the last half there were some f bombs and a brief sensual scene that‘s easily skipped. Wouldn‘t recc for a teenager to read this series tho.

I just finished book 2 and I loved it just as much as the first book. I hope the rest of the books in the series are just as good. 🤗

1. Physical books mostly
2. Library ♥️
3. Yes, we just listened to books 6 & 7 of Harry Potter during The holidays.
4. I check them out through the library and listen using overdrive.

1. Fool Moon and The Dirt (I've been reading the dirt on and off for a few months now)
2. I like thrift stores the best. You get good deals and sometimes you find notes, pictures, drawings, etc inside from the past owners.
3. City of Ghosts and The Body

Some audio-puzzling with DELICIOUS snacks on Boxing Day!

😍😍😍

It must be me! This series has a great reputation but I am just not feeling it. Have done the first two books by audiobook so might give it one more chance and do a physical read, perhaps just not working for me on audiobook format, some books don‘t. That aside what am I missing and what do others like about this series.? As I say, one more chance. 🤞

#LitsyHumor

Better than its predecessor, Fool Moon begins to develop the gritty, magical world Butcher has created. Another solid urban fantasy, but still building up to the larger story arcs that really impress.

I liked the book but I didn‘t love it. Werewolves. Alright cool. Been there, done that. What I liked was the tiny snippet we get into much bigger things being afoot. Something wicked this way comes is quite apt as Harry keeps having a pretty rough go of things and almost dying. It‘s for that I want to keep reading the series to see what‘s up. It‘s a good book and I adore Harry, but this one wasn‘t as good as the first to me.
