Meeeeeeeee! I was thinking about rereading the series.. but I guess I probably could go without since I just read it last year.
Me too. I was just reviewing the wikipedia entry for Cold Days, and it's all coming back to me....Oh, first 5 chapters are on Butcher's website, if anyone doesn't want to wait until they get their copies: http://www.jim-butcher.com/posts/2014...
6 chapters in and its already SO GOOD! I have to be a damn adult and go to a choir concert with some absolutely lovely teacher friends. Is the fact that I'm looking for excuses not to go a sign I'm a petulant book addict?
I'm a little fuzzy on one of the characters that pops up in this book. (view spoiler). I remember the name, but I don't recall what he did before...

Great. Read those spoilers and I have no idea what you guys are talking about, haha. I think I might need a Dresden re-read before I read this one. Just as soon as I finish my Robin Hobb re-read....
I'm never going to read a new book again :P
I might do a re-read before the next one, whenever that is. Not so much because I'm rusty as I just feel like running through it again would be cool.
My fiance is reading them all for the first time right now.. I can't remember which he's on but he keeps asking me questions and I have no idea what he's talking about.

Did a re-read of Cold Days just before this one which worked fine but I think I just want to re-read them all at some point.
And for the record, I loved Skin Game!
I was going to read Cold Days again too. My library has an audiobook of it. But it was checked out when I went by, so that didn't happen.Yes, loved Skin Game too! Finished last night..

Seriously though I love the way that Jim Butcher is able to use the Dresden Files to tell a different "type" of story in each book but still continuing the overarching storyline and keeping all the characters consistent. It keeps each book feeling really fresh even after 15 of them. I can't wait to see where the series is going after this.
Or Back to the Future. That would be awesome. Harry could make all the movie references and Butters definitely has Doc Brown hair in my mind! Plus, we know Harry has questions about his mother. The more I think about it, the more I like this idea :)
