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, 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isn’t just fun to read (which it certainly is); it’s also a highly professional, skillfully written, well-researched historical document that will be a primary source for scholars and journalists for decades to come.
Perhaps it was because he was now so busy, what with Quidditch practice three evenings a week on top of all his homework, but Harry could hardly believe it when he realized that he'd already been at Hogwarts two months. The castle felt more like home than
Congrats Melissa!! I can’t wait to read it and I am sure I will enjoy it greatly! Well done!!
