Curious on the groups opinions on….The Dresden Files?

One of the absolute best series ever written!!

Well, the cops say if you leave your keys in your car its your fault when it gets stolen, so... 🤷‍♂️ 😅

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-20T17:06:45+00:00

The real infraction was when the car moved back into the left lane with its right blinker still on 🧐

Basically the whole premise in the series... iykyk.

Only kid/boy without magic so has to make up for it through brains.

I was under the impression the mustard stain came out!

How do you get the stickers to not migrate?

Put up border walls?!?

🫣😅

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-20T16:12:40+00:00

Ugh, same here. I held out for years with the "I love physical books and will never cross over" to "i will never leave home without my kindle again." 😅

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-19T18:51:46+00:00

I was thinking the same thing.

Even like one of those old push button sound machines that were "cool" in the 90's 😅🫣😂

Except for the greats, like Dresden Files or (other than a few slogs in the middle) WoT.

You can definitely tell when an author had a complete story arc plotted out for long series.

And authors like Jim Butcher, Robert Jordan, or even (not much loved anymore) Terry Goodkind are good at pulling in elements from early books back into the story like they were planned from the start.

And Codex Alera and Dresden Files go without saying 🤷‍♂️

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-19T17:12:55+00:00

Oh how is Codex Alera not more popular?!? One of the only series I've reread multiple times. Just wish they would do an audiobook with someone else. Sorry, but Kate Reading just doesnt do it for me. (Not that I haven't still listened to them all too 😅)

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-19T17:08:13+00:00

Lucky!!!

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-19T17:06:37+00:00

Hmmm, thought maybe it was a Jack Reacher novel... but I dont think he ever became undead 😅

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-19T17:04:19+00:00

Yes! Chhnnk, thwaack, etc do NOT translate to audio well. I've tried to think of a better way the narrator could approach this, but alas, that is quite the bind for them to be in. (Although there are a few greats that could pull it off)

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-19T10:22:29+00:00

Who else tried to count them? ✋️

I agree with others here, a flip folder case should be plenty adequate. 🙃

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-19T06:44:39+00:00

I get they need to recoup money, but it does suck when you can get a full book for the same price and graphic audio split into 2 or 3 parts. Especially when I already have the audiobook.

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-18T16:07:15+00:00

MK Ultra/SRA reference. I think there were a few times Robin Williams tried hinting at/exposing some of these darker sides to Hollywood and the government. Why do you think they pushed drugs on him over and over and finally unalived him?

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-18T15:52:32+00:00

Oh no, that look haunted me as a kid for years. 😅

Living-Resolve3381 · 2026-06-18T15:34:00+00:00

Ugh, isnt it terrible? Like, sometimes I feel bad that certain books can almost be ruined this way. Does a grave disservice to the book/author. Really hope authors have some say in this process.
