Puh, Band vier ("Getrickst") aus der Iron Druid Reihe von Kevin Hearne ist bis jetzt der schwächste, fürchte ich 🙈 bin fast durch und nach drei 5-Sterne-Büchern ist das hier irgendwie so ein bisschen... mittel.

"Does anyone have a gun?" The looks I got in response suggested that I'd asked about something profoundly distasteful, like trickle-down economics or the poetry of William Blake.
""

Hey, the poetry of William Blake isn't distasteful.
Okay, some of his long prophetic works are harder to understand, but he has written several beautiful poems!
So, the comparison does not seem very logical to me.
Though I have to admit, I am not a typical kind of person when it comes to poetry.

"Hey, Oberon," I called, filling up the tub for him, "it's time for your bath!"

<It is?> He sounded doubtful. <Do you have a decent story?>

Oberon wouldn't sit still for baths unless I told him a story - a real story about historical figures. He never settled for faerie tales.

"I'm going to tell you the true story of a man named Francis Bacon."

<BACON?> He came running so fast that he couldn't negotiate the sharp turn into the bathroom very well, and he slammed into the door awkwardly and then splashed into the tub, soaking me after I'd just finished drying off.

<Oh, this is going to be great! I can tell I'm going to like this man already. He had to have been a genius with a name like that. Was he a genius?>

"Yes, he was."

Lol! How to made Oberon the wolfhound eager to listen to a tale.

"" Yet a clever enemy would not have been fooled. He didn't have Oberon or Granuaile by his side, for one thing, and he wasn't casting a single Druidic binding - not that this bunch would know it if he did. They were still trying to fry him electrically.

"What are they thinking?" the Morrigan asked. "If the first hundred lightning bolts don't work, the hundred-and-first one will?"

"That strategy would require them to count," I said, "which is improbable if they're sharing two nuthatch brains." "Good point," the Morrigan conceded. ""

Lol!

#BookishAdvent today is the first #IronDruid #book. I did a mix of #ebook and #audiobook for this series. My only regret is not starting this sooner. He’s a Druid over 2k years old living in Arizona hiding out from gods until he can’t anymore. He has a talking dog, and his lawyers are a vampire and a werewolf. Excellent series. Loads of mythology. Fun characters. Good humor. I blew through the entire series this summer. #urbanFantasy @audiobooks @bookstodon

I loved the #IronDruid series by #KevinHearne

Also #JimButcher's #DresdenFiles

With one of these Bluetooth sleep headbands and a silly story to distract me, I'm able to put myself back to sleep in minutes instead of being up at 3am stressing about work.
