That is one hairy gorilla

- not at all what I imagined a skinwalker to look like when he is not transformed. But then again I really never imagined one. I guess the yellow eyes are correct. Once Goodman Grey transformed his eyes to be yellow, but the rest of the body did not follow. Maybe they don't have a normal form? Maybe only visible with the Wizard's Sight?

Me neither. I always pictured the Naagloshii to be more of an anthropomorphic feline shape, like a human/cougar blend.

Pep Talk from Jim Butcher

Beware, sweet, innocent, aspiring writer. People aren’t telling you this, and they should be. NaNoWriMo participants are being deceived into thinking that being an author is a good thing. But you don’t know. You don’t know the horrors you might face as a professional, published, full-time author.

I could tell you. I could go on for hours about...more

I've no idea. I simply stumbled on it.

I'll do you one better. For the same $3.75, you can buy the ePub version from Google.

Epub doesn't read on eink Kindles.

So not better for me.

ePub is a better long term format and with how easy it is to remove the DRM and convert to KF8 (that's how the Kindle version was made by converting the ePub version), you get a long term investment instead of a shorter term investment.

Okay, regardless of our own personal little format fetishes on all sides

Skin Game is on sale as part of a general sale --see here (Sticky: FREE/BARGAIN - Science Fiction, Fantasy - 2014):

I can't view the book sale page on Google Play. I guess it's probably due to geo-restriction.

It's good that someone posted the titles individually so that I can check them out at Amazon.

While I was roaming at Amazon, I saw that Ready Player One by Ernest Cline is $3.99. I remember last time Nyssa and AlbertaCowboy recommended the book. But I'm not familiar with all those 80s or video games references, so I'm not sure if I'm going to get it.

Just a heads-up if anyone is interested.

Ready Player One has been $3.99 for a while for the Kindle version (at least since august 19th for sure when I bought mine). Those 80's references are not necessary to enjoy the book - most of the time it explains the game anyway. Of course, if you know what is being referenced it enhances the reading experience.

For four bucks, I'd reallllllly suggest you give it a try, regardless of your 80's knowledge.
(I only have memories of the latter half of the 80's anyways, not like I was a teen during those years :P)
