Same way you do any other BBCode tag. You put the word spoiler between square brackets at the start of the text you want to hide and /spoiler between square brackets at the end of the text you want to hide.

Common BBCode tags http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode

Or, in the advanced reply editor (the one you get when you quote or select "advanced") highlight the text and click the icon that is a crossed-out eyeball right next to the youtube icon in the formatting bar. Took me forever to notice that icon.

Nervously!?

I'm reading the 3 short stories on Nyssa's list that are not included in Side jobs, Curses, Even Hand, AAAA Wizardry and The Beacon....whoops, that's 4 not 3 and I've actually already read AAAA Wizardry. Also, The Beacon isn't a Dresden Files story, but is written by Shannon Butcher, Jim's wife. Anyway, after these I'll start reading Trio of Sorcery a book containing 3 novellas by Mercedes Lackey.

Yikes, I'd already read Curses as well as AAAA Wizardry!!

So I read Even Hand for the first time and it was a really interesting take on one small part of the Dresdenverse and wasn't told from Harry's POV or did Harry even appear in it. I'll read Shannon's story (my first time reading anything by her) tomorrow, then on to some Mercedes Lackey.

I've already sended an email to the publisher, asking them if they plan to make more Dresden-ebooks available in Dutch. While waiting for an answer I'm going to read something else.
If I don't get an answer or they won't make any more ebooks available, I'm going to read the rest in English, because I want to read them dammit

It has actually been 2.5 weeks now since I've send the e-mail and I gave up.
I bought the 3th book, Grave Peril, in English from Kobo. So, after I finish my current book, It's back to the Dresenverse for me, yay

Even Hand and The Beacon both turned out to be top notch! And now I just may have to find myself some eBooks of some of Shannon K. Butcher's work...hmm....does the quest for new stuff ever stop?

I just finished chapter two of Grave Peril, so I'm officially back to the Dresdenverse

. This time in English instead of Dutch, witch takes some time getting used to, but I'll be just as fun

Spoiler:

Can't wait!!

ps I love Harry's dry humor.

Spoiler:

Ofcourse you'll only get this if you know about the problems with Wizards and electronics.

Just read Blood Rites, thoroughly enjoyed it, but...

Although I want to say "Are you Kidding me!!"

Spoiler:

I had feeling it was going to happen sooner or later, in one way or another...

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

I really like the set of of this story, although it would be nice if Harry could at least get a night's sleep, some real food and shower.

I love, love, loved the scene with Morgan.

Spoiler: My office is in a building in midtown Chicago. It's an older building, and not in the best of shape, especially since there was that problem with the elevator last year. I don't care what anyone says, that wasn't my fault. Ofcourse you'll only get this if you know about the problems with Wizards and electronics. Last edited by Joy736; 01-28-2012 at 05:27 AM.

Spoiler: Isn't the mother's dying curse/magic providing protection to the child from a mortal enemy motif a bit Harry Potterish? And will Harry and Murphy just get it on already!

Although I want to say "Are you Kidding me!!" Spoiler: (the sudden appearance of Elaine) I had feeling it was going to happen sooner or later, in one way or another... Spoiler: (either alive, dying or dead) . Spoiler: I do not trust her in the slightest, bound or not bound. I really like the set of of this story, although it would be nice if Harry could at least get a night's sleep, some real food and shower. I love, love, loved the scene with Morgan. Spoiler: I could just see the look of shock on his face when Harry figured out that Morgan was trying to set him up. I do not, however, believe that Elaine could escape the apartment unnoticed, even with the veil. Of course, Mister's prancing in at that time helped.
