And miss all the fun that wedding will bring? Which monster to invite? Which monster Harry can not not invite? Really, you don’t want to miss the wedding!

Don’t forget winter politics :)

Harry planning a wedding? He will lose interest after they have settled on the buffet selection, though he does have a suitable suit now, he won’t have to rent a tux and automatically lose the deposit.

To add insult to injury Mira I AM ON MY SECOND RE-THROUGH.

 :(  Well, I did run up to Barns and Noble, they don't have the comfie chairs now that the virus is here so I found a quiet corner with a table to stand and skimmed....  Honestly too much going on to get much satisfaction trying to read it that way.  I did get the highlights, but no context...  I was surprised it was as short as it was.   I agree with whoever said if he didn't know a second book was  coming along in two months he'd be pissed because it seems all set up.  I agree, that was my first impression, but that isn't worth much until I really do get the book and carefully read it. 

And Arjan?  Don't get too happy yet, there is another three or four hundred pages to go, and so far Eb, Thomas, and Murphy are still all alive, money is still on one or more of them dying...  Christmas Eve takes place after Battle Ground..

I think none of them will die this book and especially not Thomas. He is safely locked up and there is still a lot of story left for him. There must be a woj somewhere that his memories of their mother will come up at some time.

I do think that Ebenezer will survive this book but he is damaged. His anger issues make him vulnerable and that is not good.

And Karrin? I think Jim wants to make Karrin work as a charcter. He is not finished with her.

Locking up a titan? I do not think Jim can resist that. There will be fallout but he will succeed.

  Well, we shall see.. It is one thing I predicted, if he cannot succeed, then it's Darkhallow..   However
given how the Christmas Eve story went, it will be messy and not in a good way..  Harry was still weeping over it.

I feel like I want to weep! :(  Have had a couple of hard days, worked real hard to get everything done so I could sit down and chill while the heat advisory raged outside and read...  It didn't happen.

Yeah I didn't even bother with a hardcover this time.  Not worth the risk and I got the download at midnight.

We ordered both books at the same time from Amazon.  Amazon is now saying Peace Talks will ship in October...

Anyone else have this problem?
