Pleasure Reading The Dresden Files

I adore reading and though I am a firm believer in "meat and potatoes" reading aka reading the books that actually make you think I also believe in having a little desert. That is where the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher come in.

There are 13 books thus far in the series and the 14th is set to come out in July. The books follow the life and adventures of a wizard named Harry Dresden who lives in modern-chicago and works openly as a wizard and private investigator. Fighting against the forces of evil with a blend of sarcasm, wit, and fantastically exciting magic. These books literally hum with energy and wonderful writing - Jim Butcher's characters are lovable, believable, and over the years that I've read them they've become like friends.

Here are a list of the books in the series so far:


There was also a short-lived tv series on SciFi which I would not recommend as the books are about a billion times better. Trust me. But, here's a link to the show's trailer anyway.

For more information about the Dresden Files or other books by Jim Butcher go to Jim Butcher's website.

  1. I have seen these books and even picked one or two up thinking about reading them, but was very unsure about them. It is nice to get an opinion about them seeing as I know no one who reads them. I think I'll try one out, after the 23 others I have to read for class this semester. :)
