midnightsjaneFor all those readers out there patiently waiting for Jim Butcher to finish the next Dresden novel, I think I've found a book you might enjoy. I was visiting my friends at WhiteDwarf Books this afternoon, and Jill pulled a book out of a box and said "here, I think you'll like this; Jim Butcher did!" It's called Fated by Benedict Jacka. The protagonist is a mage named Alex Verus who owns a magic shop in London. I'm about 3 chapters in, and so far I'm really liking it. Has a similar feel to the Dresden Files, and in fact he even references Harry in a vague way (as a wizard he's heard about in Chicago who advertises in the phone book), but he's building his own world view.
I'm always delighted when I find another author who pleases the reader in me, and when it's an ongoing series like this one is (book 2 was published this spring), I'm doubly delighted.
In other news, it was a glorious fall day out at the farm. The leaves are just turning colour, and it was warm and sunny. The sky was a brilliant blue, and everything just looked so beautiful. My favourite time of year, at least for now.
Came home, made myself a very tasty supper of pasta and homemade sauce (fresh cherry tomatoes, onion, green pepper, zucchini and basil, simmered in olive oil) which I ate while watching two episodes of the Big Bang Theory..two episodes I hadn't seen before, bonus! I love that show, it makes me lol.
