To be precise:

Quote:
“Not just a vampire,” I said, “a cheesy vampire. Do you think they got the point?” I managed to peer past the spotlights enough to make out Thomas and Justine at the foot of the stairs. Thomas was staring around at the courtyard with undisguised glee, then flashed me a smile and a thumbs-up.

Haha, not to screw up the countdown for "Skin Game", but does any of you have a release date for "The Aeronaut's Windlass"?

Nope, sorry. It's still being written; in the earlier stages I'd imagine.

We won't know for a while yet.

Almost finished with Ghost Story and read an intriguing sentence.
Quote:
"Temple dogs have been known to live for centuries," he replied. "Your friend is more than capable of protecting her for a lifetime - even a wizard's lifetime, if need be."
Spoiler:
Since this is said by Uriel, I take particularly care of the wording. To me it implies that Maggie has a kind of option of becoming a wizard. It might be that she can choose are that events choose for her. It does correspond with the fact that Charity 'choose' not to go further with it. The second option is more interesting though, especially storywise...

Just wondering...are we not wrapping these kinds of things in Spoiler Tags anymore? If so, we should have the title of the thread changed to reflect that this thread may contain spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the books yet.

I just pre-ordered Skin Game!!! Woohoo I'm so excited! $15.99 for Skin Game is way better than Cold Days which was $18 and change.

Yes, I agree. IMHO, we should be doing that. A couple of weeks ago red_phoenix pointed out that I hadn't protected some info that should have been hidden with spoiler tags. I thanked him for pointing it out and embarrassingly repaired my faux pas immediately (like I've done in the above quote). Of course the quote within the quote doesn't show in this post so I couldn't put it in spoiler tags as it isn't here.

I don't think renaming our thread is necessary or even desired, but naming an individual reply (post) to reflect spoiler status is probably a good thing, IMHO.

Cool Jim Butcher quotes...
...............Click image for larger version Name: Jim46.JPG Views: 159 Size: 11.7 KB ID: 118054
“How long have you been a Wiccan?'
'A what?'
'A pagan. A witch.'
'I'm not a witch,' I said, glancing out the door. 'I'm a wizard.'
Sanya frowned. 'What is the difference?'
'Wizard has a Z'
He looked at me blankly.
'No one appreciates me.' I muttered.”
