This is a stand-alone story, set between the events of 'Fool Moon' and 'Grave Peril', and that sees Harry Dresden - Chicago's only professional wizard for hire - off his home turf as he tries to end the curse against a family in a small isolated Missouri town

You're a Wizard Harry!
For those of you who don't know me very well, I love Harry Potter. I am obsessed. I have read the books a thousand times, know all the lines from the movies and listen to the music to calm me down.

You could say I am a fan. Just a little bit.

So when my super duper awesome best friend brought me the newest editions of the Harry Potter series, it just gave me an excuse to read them all again. Oh, and to educate you all on the greatness of Harry Potter.

It's definitely fun to try and live in the Harry Potter world and be a witch and wizard at Hogwarts. It's cool learning the potions and spells and definitely brings back a nostalgic feeling. (0 more)
I wish it was a little more interactive with the spellcasting and potion making. (0 more)
  
Revenge isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, that’s what Livark is learning. Blackmailed she turns thief for a wizard and lands herself in a plot that threatens the existence of the known world.

Livark is a gambler basically a grifter. She is the main character and her story is told in 1st person pov. There are other povs involved that are third person? Which include but are not limited to Casuel a wizard that is so easy to hate. That sorry sycophant. And Planir the Black Archmage.
You also meet Shiv another wizard that partners with Livark (blackmails really) he is also the first character that I had ever read that was openly gay. Or how did he put it. “Doesn’t cross the dance floor to find his partner.” Maybe not a direct quote but close. Also, Darni and Rashad warriors as well as a few other characters. If you want excitement danger and magic, this is a book for you. Edited: It is also very violent, blunt, and graphic in its content.

Such a great book! Agniezska (pronounced ag-NYESH-Kahn) is a wonderful heroine. Humble loyal and a bit of a mess, she leaves her home valley to live with a terrifying lord wizard named Dragon. Slightly graphic in some places, this modern Eastern European flavored fairytale will spark anyone's imagination.

Album Favorite

"Of the two bands, I actually preferred Uriah Heep over Deep Purple in their early days. I liked the style and imagery, and of course David Byron was a very charismatic singer. That Roger Dean sleeve made for great packaging, and it had my favourite of their songs, The Wizard."

Book Favorite

"The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was the first book I read in the hospital. I had been having headaches and couldn’t read or focus properly for a while. It is a lovely book, and it was given to me by Gordon Brown — he sent me 25 books, and this was my favorite"

This is where it all began
This book has inspired thousands of fantasy tales, it is regarded as one of the most important fantasy works of all time. An exciting tale of hobbits, dragons and probably the best wizard of all time, Gandalf. You should seriously read this, along with the Lord of the Rings.

A classic that still captures your imagination.
The Wizard of OZ is a once in history type of movies the switch from black and white to color still blows my mind to this day and the cast of characters and setting will forever cement their way into your imagination no matter how old you are.
