NOOOOOOO! *clutches pearls*
According to Jim Butcher's website, Ghost Story's release date has been bumped to July 26, 2011.
I like the quote on the blog post: "It came down to, readers could either get a half-assed story in April, or a full-assed one in July!"
And 'tis true, I like my books fully-assed! So I'm not saying it's a bad decision or anything. But ... but another four months on top of the old release date ...! How will I LIVE~!
(Although July 26 is my birthday, as it happens. I know what I'm getting for MY birthday this year! *grabby hands*)

...okay, so it's about the first time he's ever missed a deadline that I know of, but still...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~!!!

I don't begrudge him the extra time; this is a pretty major book in the series, after all, and it's probably a hard one to write. But I want my booooook ... *weeps*

Then I had a fit of selfishness, and thought I was pretty lucky it wasn't coming out right in the middle of me moving from Japan and going on a long trip - this way I'll be able to enjoy it with everyone else at my leisure!
But. Aww. Yeah. I want?
Though there is some good news ahead - guess what's coming out February 17?! :D

And yeah ... I don't want to be an entitled fan about Ghost Story or anything. It's good that he's taking the extra time to make it a better book! And you can read it along with everybody else and that will be made of win! \o/ (But it's still hard not to have a book coming in April... *weeps*)

I mean, I'm glad he's making it the best book he can! But I want it now~! ;___;

*sobs* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo! So cruel!
I mean, sure, I want a better book if it means a wait, but...but JULY? April was bad enough!!
*cries*

I'm glad he's making it the best book he possibly can! And I totally understand that sometimes writers just need MOAR TIME. (But ... we would be having sample chapters coming out soon, and I was SO looking forward to those ... *bottom lip quivers*)

I *know*. Is it bad I had already been counting the weeks back from the release date, to know exactly when I should start looking? Which was so close! *clings* But I wants it precious, waaaaants it!

And after all, we don't want him hitting burnout halfway through the series; that would SUCK.

"THIS is Flan material"

Well, July is better than many, many, many, many moons later. There was a book series I was reading... oh... maybe four, five years ago. I'm still waiting for book three, and during my search for news on book three discovered it's to be five books long.
And it's been four, five years since the last book o_O *Iz not happy camper*
(But I have to cut this book some slack, as it's heavily illustrated and the author needs time to get all the pictures done).
