Ghost Story (Dresden Files Series #13)
I just thought I'd go ahead and start a thread for this because I don't want to ruin anybody's reading experience on the generic Dresden Files thread. Also, I thought the Changes thread was a great conversation amongst fans, so I figured it would work out well for Ghost Story as well. Since the book doesn't come out til tomorrow I can't say anything except this (because we've all seen an image of the book): I loved the headstone on the cover. I never actually thought Bianca's words would come to this. But I can't wait to see if Harry actually "dies"—after all, whether he was doing "the right thing" is debatable.

Ok, I was just checking and the date for release said Aug 4th.
Please, someone tell me its a typo!!
There are definitely some of the best Harry Dresden quotes in this book. I was also laughing out loud with many of them. I do love the Spider-man quote, especially given the context and the comparisons. Most of the pop culture reference elicited some laughs. One of my personal favorites from the book is this (from page 250):
It would require a singularly stupid man to go hang around in narrow tunnels and cramped spaces alongside a threat like that.
"And I, Harry Dresden, am that man," I stated.
There are so many moments like this where Harry talks to himself, about himself, and they are just hilarious.
I also was totally freaking out by the end of the book, expecting my world to come crumbling down (I will not yet say whether or not it did). Regardless, the ending did keep me on edge, and well, I am shocked at those very last few pages. Although something tells me that perhaps that is naïve of me. I am just thankful there are enough Jim Butcher fans out there that I can talk to people about this!
