GAWD I love tie in books. Any kinda viral-like advertising, I’m a sucker for it… part of the reason I love Lost so much… they has tie in books too… And soon documentaries.
SO getting this when its available!!! Yay Castle!!
I am soooo there with ya, Meimi. I LOVE tie-ins. And this show is particularly clever, so you know the book is going to be fun also! Looking very forward to it and the second season!
Go Castle!!! ^_^
This sounds awesome
I’ll definitely be buying a copy when it comes out. I’ll be telling all my friends about this too
The book goes on sale in Spain? Sorry for my English.
I just read the first chapter. Love. It. Can’t wait for more! I’ve already pre-ordered the book and the s1 DVDs. Wahoo! I love this show.
Just read the first chapter, thought it flowed as well as the tv show…I can’t wait for the next season to start…will be looking for the book when it comes out.
