And America's favorite dancer is...

VERITY PRICE!!!!!!

Ahem. Discount Armageddon has debuted on the New York Times Bestseller list, in position #35. This is otherwise known as "the best position," because it is mine, and I love it. I am...I am overjoyed. I am SO EXCITED I COULD DIE. This is my second time on the list (my first was with Late Eclipses), and to make it with my very first book in a brand new series is like a dream come true.

This is my crazy little book about a ballroom dancing cryptozoologist cocktail waitress with talking mice in her closet and nothing in her fridge, and it's on the New York Times Bestseller list. I can't believe it.

Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you to everyone who bought this book during release week. I am so glad, and so grateful, and so excited. Above everything else, I am so excited.

Discount Armageddon made the list.

HAIL THE MAKING OF LISTS!!!!!

Hee. Yes.

Yay!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
YIPPEEE!!!
GLEE.
We[1] made it? We made it? Despite early shipping? EXCELLENT!!!! I am delighted! And in the top 100, too! High up in the top 100!

HAIL! HAIL! HAIL the Double New York Times Bestseller!


[Footnote 1: Sorry! I feel kinda "we," considering the whole timing issue and all. I mean that in the fandom sense, not an entitlement one!! Maybe virtual t-shirts that read Team McGuire for the television-watchers at home, kinda "we"?]
I'd so wear one

Hail the NYT List! Even with the premature shipping issues... Wow!

Yaaaaaay! *visualize Kermit flail*
YAAAAAY!
Congrats, Ms Seanan :D

I'm only halfway through DA but I'm loving it, Verity's unashamed asskickery and wisecracking reminds me of early Anita Blake before it became all orgies and feelings.
Hooray!

Also: best compliment ever.
*grins* Sweet dreams, you may has them.
Yesssssss.
Despite the shipping snafu! YAY!
Yes, exactly! Woo hoo! STILL DID IT!

Hooray! I was hoping it would be, because there was a lot of early buzz and I saw a lot of people talking about it elsewhere. It seems like it was pushed onto the bestseller list mostly by people who'd never read any of your other stuff.

Congratulations, and HAIL!
HAIL!
Yaaaaay! I am loving it so far.
I am so glad!
Hail! We shall declare this date to be a new holiday! "The writer makes the NY Times Best Seller list, again!" Hail!
HOORAY!
Yay!!!! I hope one day this is all you remember, and not the misery that came before with all of Amazon's BS. And I like to think it was all your faithful readers rallying to buy during that week that did it. :)

(Spoiler-free comment - I read 400 books a year. I usually tear through a book in a day or less. I *forced* myself to take a week on Discount Armageddon, and was also re-reading most of the passages just to enjoy them. I am fairly sure this book will be in my top 10 for the year. Fantastic job, and well-deserved NYT bestseller, is my amateur review.)
That is so awesome.
Many congratulations! My copy is sitting in my bag, waiting for me to finish writing my novel so I have reading time :)
Yay!
Okay, that's it, now I must make cake for this weekend's Mahjongg game. There will already be Irish Cheddar Cheese ('cause of St. Patrick's Day), but this calls for Cheese AND Cake!


Congratulations!!!!!
YAY!
That's super-awesome! i'm so glad I made the trek over to Borderlands last weekend to pick it up...
Me, too!

I am having too much fun with Verity Price for her to NOT make that list ;-)
Congratulations, honey!

I am in the middle of it now, and I am loving the mice!
That's awesome!
