I get these for the Jim Butcher and never has he disappointed! As with all anthologies the stories are hit and miss. Though I must say this one had more hits then misses, well worth the read.

Where is my cauldron! Or my familiar! Get me my pointy hat!
Okay, at least give me kid-nieces and nephews to read these stories out loud. And to feel those magical words roll on my tongue!
Yeah, that's how delightful this book is! Making you wanna talk about these stories and dream about witches and their antics... Amazing collection!

an anthology of witch and wizard short stories...
definitely an amazing book! I really enjoyed every part of it! every story was unique and fun, full of mystery and weirdness (as witches and wizards story usually did). some of the story even amazed me and makes me laughing out loud (literally!). I’m so glad that I made a great decision by buying this book!
tell you what?! you should do yourself a favor and get this book! perfect for halloween read!
(fave story: a Handful of Ashes & B is for Bigfoot)

Such a good quick read. I like that Butcher is always trying to do the right thing and teaching others to do so too...I feel reading all the in between shorts rounds out the series so well.

Story read in this anthology: B Is for Bigfoot, by Jim Butcher (Harry Dresden 2.5)
See how good a story is without Murphy, and without him using magic that depletes so he'll have to start saying he's going to die again?
Loved it. Looking forward to more of this.

- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

I love witches. I love short stories. I love this anthology. Each one had a unique element that made it worth reading. I would elaborate more, but seeing as I'm pressed for time, all I can say is that these short stories were amazing, and I will keep on the lookout for other anthologies of this caliber.
