Proven Guilty Another Installment in the Harry Dresden Series and Sales Tax Holiday

If you are in the state of Illinois we are enjoying a state sales tax holiday, we've not had one before so this is very nice and handy for anyone who needs school supplies--esp. since the holiday includes clothing and shoes. When it comes to saving my motto is every little bit helps.  So sure it's only like 6.5% but it's better than paying 6.5%  The tax holiday runs through 8/14 in Illinois. 
Are there any tax holidays in your state?


Book 8 in the Harry Dresden series, I am slowly making my way through the series this summer, I like spending time with Harry and the crew, and I'm noticing many of the books take place in the hot muggy summers of Chicago--which I am obviously feeling! 
In Proven Guilty we have a Horror Movie Con including people cosplaying as monsters, and actual monsters showing up, and Harry spends time debating how dangerous it is for him to connect with the fallen angel who wants to help him.  Conflicted, angsty Harry is prominent in this book, but it isn't overwhelming. The best part is that we finally get Michael's wife Charity's backstory.  Now we finally understand why Charity has such a loathing for Harry--(it's not really about him!) Also, Molly has left home and is in loads of trouble, so we know Harry will be saving her. Or will he?  
Overall, this book hits all the marks for a book arriving so far into a series.  I have to give it 5 stars, James Butcher does an excellent job of keeping me interested.

I love the Dresden files. But especially on audio with James Marsters. I'll do a Read-along of these one day. Was going to do 2024 but decided not to do 2 male MC in a row. But I look forward to reading them again.
