She wants me to load the books that I have onto her phone now so she can play them through the speaker while she's at home with Molly.

That's awesome!

Another one hooked. Muahahahaha!

So that's what it takes, eh?

for the expert conspiring, and Harry would be proud/scared!

I sure hope all went well with the LASIK!

Great deal with your successfully introducing her the Dresden books!

I have a long-time friend who doesn't like reading about the supernatural and just lately I was finally able to get him to read Storm Front. He liked it and is going to soon, start Fool Moon! I convinced him by sitting him down and reading a couple of chapters to him.

LOL. Nicely done, Alan.

Again ... the Kindle release date for Skin Game is JULY ... who are they kidding???

I don't mind to pay the hardcover price for the e-book, but having to wait until the paperback comes out 5 months later is really lame.

Seems my series re-read will be over sooner than expected ... am in the middle of Cold Days right now and have just realized that this is - so far - the last one in the series.

Best regards,
Andy

Do you have a weblink to where you got that info or are you just guessing because of the date for the paperback that's in the Wikipedia article?

Probably this: http://amzn.com/B00CIVLY22

Book Description
Publication Date: July 3, 2014
Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard PI. Turns out the 'everyday' world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in.

But he's forgotten his own golden rule: magic - it can get a guy killed.

From the product description; currently it says "not available for purchase".

Assuming the release will be the same here and in the UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CIVLY22/

Are the publishers attempting to encourage piracy, or something?

I have to believe Amazon are pulling our leg, this is too ridiculous to be anything but a joke in really bad taste.

Then again, this is Penguin we are talking about.

Which reminds me, CWatkinsNash, you lied to me!!!

Okay, we have to remember that he JUST TURNED IT IN to the publisher. Like, just finished the book. I don't think they are doing a delayed ebook release. I think the total release has been moved to July and not everything has been updated yet. Just a guess, but that's what I'm thinking.

This should not be a surprise. The January date was likely a placeholder until the publisher's people got their hands on it and got an idea of how long it would take to get it ready.

We'll get it when we get it.

And unlike "when it's done" Duke Nukem Forever, the book will be a product the fans actually like.
