royalslayer asked: hello yes i heard about book suggestions and. novel of the dresden files, by jim butcher. a wonderful mix of fantastic, fantasy and noir novel. the humor is spot on, the characters believable. it is not perfect by any means, but it is highly enjoyable and i recommend it to everyone.
BABE, The Dresden Files are the shit, I haven’t had time to blow through the whole series but I fucking LOVE the urban-fantasy-noir vibe of them, I aspire to that vibe in my life and in my writing. Harry Dresden is the patron saint of Being Fucking Done, I adore him, and Murphy is so small and fighty and lawful, I just. I fucking LOVE The Dresden Files, like, hell fucking yes, I need to acquire ALL OF THEM and read them obsessively. Everyone, if you’re in the mood for weird dark cities full of intricate magic and secrets, and characters who just want to take a nap but are going to save the world anyway so that they CAN take a nap, Harry Dresden is here for you. Like, no, it’s not perfect, no book is, but it’s a great fucking ride.
Also if anyone has any good recommendations for fic of “Harry Dresden gets sucked into another magic user’s debacle and just wants to be left alone,” hit me the fuck up. Like there’s this one particular one where Sarah Williams’ stepmother (of Labyrinth) comes to him and asks for help because Sarah, the newly-crowned Goblin Queen, keeps visiting and is getting increasingly inhuman and the stepmother is afraid, it’s both deeply unnerving and FUCKING GLORIOUS, I believe the series is called “Children’s Voices Should Be Dear” and y’all should go read it.
I’m gonna fucking post this publicly because DRESDEN FILES.
ALSO-ALSO, oh my God, guys, make this a thing, send me book recs or requests for book recs, oh my god do it, I’ve read too many books in my life.
