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.

Congradulations Melissa! The book was incredible, it made me cry and laugh and just relect on this fandom. You deserve this.
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 :-)
Just received my copy today. Congrats Melissa and thank you so much! You deserve this. :)

AWESOME POSSUM FTW. 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!!
Congrats Melissa!!!!!! :)
Is ‘Harry, a history’ on sale in Australia?
“because you and Jo Rowling admit that Harry and Hermione should have happened”.

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isn’t just fun to read (which it certainly is); it’s also a highly professional, skillfully written, well-researched historical document that will be a primary source for scholars and journalists for decades to come.
