Congratulations to Jim Butcher!

Small Favor, the 10th novel in the Dresden Files, debuts at #2 on the New York Times List and #3 on the USA Today List.

Intricate yet accessible plotting and near-Arctic winter weather mark the 10th Harry Dresden adventure from bestseller Butcher (after 2007’s White Night)… Butcher smoothly manages a sizable cast of allies and adversaries, doles out needed backstory with crisp efficiency and sustains just the right balance of hair’s-breadth tension and comic relief. — Publishers Weekly
