Finished SIDE JOBS by Jim Butcher

This is a collection of previously published stories about Harry Dresden as well as one new novella written especially for this collection.  It is not only an interesting progression of Harry's character, but also a fun exploration of the characters of the people surrounding him.  It is also a fabulous chronicle of Butcher's writing style into the frenetic activity that draws the reader in and holds, well, me, in thrall.



Now I have started The Unspoken by Heather Graham.  I just realized that it is the seventh in a series, but I'm thinking, if I know Heather, it will stand alone.  If I like it, I'll start the series from the beginning.  I'm only on page 13, but I am already pretty into it.  A ship went down in Lake Michigan in the late 1800's with an Egyptian mummy on board.  Now, a group of archaeologists is trying to rediscover it and pull up its treasures.  Do you ever tire of cursed Egyptian mummy stories???
