    This is like my fifth reread through Dresden but doing it with booktube and talking with other booktubers has made it so much more enjoyable. Having read a lot more fantasy since my last reread I realized just how good of a writer Jim Butcher is.

      Totally agree! It's probably my favorite fantasy series right now and geeking out over it with y'all is gonna be great.

    Blood Rites is on my TBR for this month as well. I started it a long time ago and then I stopped reading them and want to pick them up. I hope I haven't forgotten everything!

      It's been so good! I love how low fantasy it is and how ruthless these gang families are. It's dealt with some serious political topics, abortion, religion, sexuality, all kinds of unexpected stuff.

    You killed me with the whole Dresden genius bit 🤣 I hope you love Jade War. I did not like Wind Through The Keyhole but I wish you nothing but success on that front. Emperor's Soul is not tied to Elantris in any way besides being on the same planet, and yes it is much better than Elantris haha

      Out of curiosity, assuming you grabbed Shadow Hunter as part of the Essential collection, did you go for trade paperback or the new audiobook? I just started the latter and have been enjoying Sam Witwer's narration.

    This sounds like a great TBR Alex- good luck with all the books. Enjoy your week away. I'll be tackling Red Seas under red skies along with Wakers, The Book Eaters and Six Crimson Cranes followed by a Dragons Promise this month. I'm currently reading Nettle and Bome by T. Kingfisher which is enjoyable so far.
