On Sunday, the New York Times Nonfiction Bestseller List will include Harry, A History. It will debut there at number 18 (a very lucky number in my, and many other people's, family).
It's tempting to say a lot right here. I'll save that for the website; for now, I'll just say thank you Leaky people, who have been buying it and talking about it and... and everything else. You can't expect me to think like a writer right now. Thank you. Thank YOU.
omg CONGRATULATIONS, Melissa! I can’t wait to get my copy. I watched you reading from it on youtube and started crying at the tabby cat part. Oh man. I can’t wait to read the rest!!
and 18 is my lucky number too :)
Already commented on facebook, but I think this is worth two comments…Congratulations! You are amazing! You turned being a fan into a best selling book! And by the way, it is a GREAT book. I keep wanting to send you an email about how wonderful I think it is, but I’m going to wait until I’m ALL finished! Should be quite soon :-)
AWESOMEPOSSUMFTW. I am so excited Melissa! (even though my book, which I ordered almost two weeks ago hasn’t arrived yet grumblegrumble) Congrats!! :-D

Congrats Melissa! I can’t wait to get my copy. But from I read around the net I think it’s going to be very popular because you and Jo Rowling admit that Harry and Hermione should have happened.
Congrats, congrats, congrats!! I’m only : ( about 1/4 the way through and would be further if I didn’t have to actually do school work. It’s been a great read so far!!
haven’t got the book yet, will sometime, probably before my next holiday (new zealand, from england, so i’ll be stocking up on books _) congratulations!
Congratulations Melissa, that’s wonderful news! Your book isn’t just fun to read (which it certainly is); it’s also a highly professional, skillfully written, well-researched historical document that will be a primary source for scholars and journalists for decades to come.
"YOU'RE PATHETIC!" Harry yelled. "JUST BECAUSE THEY MADE A FOOL OF YOU AT SCHOOL YOU WON'T EVEN LISTEN --"[br]"SILENCE! I WILL NOT BE SPOKEN TO LIKE THAT!" Snape shrieked, looking madder than ever.
Congrats Melissa!! I can’t wait to read it and I am sure I will enjoy it greatly! Well done!!
