Started next book in the Dresden Files series, Ghost Story by Jim Butcher. This is book 13, and is pretty unique so far. The previous book "Changes" has changed quite a bit, and now we are living those changes.

Can't put it down, want to see how it develops!

My previous book, Streams of Silver covers 2 bingo squares: Title: [X] of [Y] and Off your TBR pile (hard mode).

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

How are the dresden files? Had a friend recommend it years ago but I never really tried it

It's one of my favorite series. If you'd like to read just one book to get a feel for it, Dead Beat was written as a soft introduction because the TV show was coming out on scifi at the time. If you're willing to start from the beginning, the first 2½ books are enjoyable but pretty cliché. About midway through the third book is when it really starts to take off and hit its stride. There's a reason it's one of the most well-known urban fantasy series and it truly has some really fun moments.

I think the first two books are rather weak, I recommend to skip them. After them it gets really, really good.

Other than what Jaymes mentioned below (above?), it's an urban fantasy, protagonist is a wizard in a chicago, working as a PI. Starts from there, but characters evolve as the series progresses.

Also, "dresden" isn't my real name 😀
