Small Favor by Jim Butcher

The latest – geez, tenth -- Harry Dresden book. Winter fairies something something missing mobster something evil demons, insert explosions where appropriate.

Sorry. I read this book in less than thirty-six hours, while simultaneously getting over law school exams and a hangover, and packing everything I own. It was exactly the right reading choice for that situation, for everyone's reference. I mean, it's a Harry Dresden book – a 350 page string of magical battles in increasingly bizarre and urban picturesque locations, punctuated by tarnished hero angst and a lot of sarcasm. There are days when that's exactly what you need, you know?

So did the TV show get canceled? That would be a shame, because I seem to recall it spontaneously developing some awesome at the end of the twelve-episode run.

Yep, canceled. There was much woe.

It boggles the mind how that got cancelled, yet the rather awful adaptation of Blood Ties didn't.

Agreed!
