At least the last Molly cover matches the standard stereotype for women on fantasy novel covers. She's standing in a position that has GOT to be uncomfortable at the very least, but which accentuates her... body structure.
That is because they are copied from another series with a female heroine that covers all the stereotypes. I even read them. Try Seanan McGuire. You still have some time befor Cold Days.

I read the first book of the October Daye series and didn't like it. I liked the writing but didn't like the character. I'm gonna try the new one soon.

You've managed- in our three years together- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship.

Doing unbelievable irrational and stupid things without believable reasons to such a degree that it blocks your identification with the protagonist and makes you stop reading?

I don't know why that is a common treat for modern urban fantasy heroines but it seems so. It is still a nice series along as you can ignore it  ;D

Yeah. I can't. I have limited reading time and I'm pretty unforgiving on authors. I like Jim so much because Dresden actually thinks and acts according to his understanding. Most other characters do the same. It's refreshing.

I stopped with Kim Harrison for that reason. She takes it to extremes I never read anywhere else :o

Yeah. On the other hand, I love Pat Briggs. Though the plot resolution sometimes leaves holes a few miles wide, I love that the character.

I'm getting sick of all of these april fools jokes. >:(
I used to avoid the internet entirely on April 1, for just that reason.  But I haven't been online as much at all in recent months, so I forgot all about it until today.  Otherwise I would have missed all of this until it was over.

Missing you, Md 

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

Jim has announced a final blockbuster of a book to truly end the series, as he has found that a Big Apocalyptic Trilogy won't be enough to contain the Big Bad Final Battle. Its title:
