LOL!
I know hubby and I did our part for Mr. Butcher. Hubby bought a copy without realizing I’d also preordered it from Amazon. (At least the 17 yr old didn’t have to wait quite as long for his turn to read.)
Congrats to both of you!
There’s a reason I leapt on the new book when I saw it on the bookstore without even pausing to sneak up on it, and that’s because Jim Butcher is awesome. Loved the book, as always eager for the next one.
mazel tov to Jim, and to you!
Congrats!
I keep hearing that the books are a lot better than the series. I’m planning on checking them out.
The books are about 100 million times better than the series.
HOT DAMN
Do we have linky-link?
It’s not up yet — we find out in advance.
Woot! Excellent book, too. Congrats!
How exciting. Congratulations to you and Mr. Butcher.

Major congratulations to you both! Cheers and best wishes, Jean Marie
Quite a good book. I think his best yet.
Congrats!!
Wow.
Congrats!
That’s fabulous!! Congrats!
That’s it, I have to go pester my bookstore to get up to date with the Dresden books….
Mazel tov! 🙂
I’ve always enjoyed the Dresden file books, but thought this one was particularly good.
Oh hell ya. And from the 100 pages I have read so far, it’s shocking it’s not number #1 😉

Well, I do suppose a hit would be a little high profile at that point then…

Congrats to Jim!! It’s a great book and deserves the honor.
