[Solly Mack]

2. Local bookstore is re-opening at 11 PM

You buy the book, pick it up on the way out with your receipt(after 12:01)....inbetween there's a party

I can't wait!!!!

[XemaSab]

4. It's gonna be

OFF THE HOOK.

[ET Awful]

3. Thanks to my screw-up and Amazon's unwillingness to alter

an order, I won't have it until Monday :(.

:cry:

[Solly Mack]

5. Bummer!!! I swear I'd go buy it at a book store anyway

I couldn't stand it otherwise

I have to get two copies...I'm not sharing with my husband. Not gonna happen. :)

[ET Awful]

6. I can't spare the cash right now. I just had to spend money today

on a new battery for the car :(.

My car just stopped starting . . . or something. It was fine this morning, went out at lunch and it wouldn't start. Got a jump start, got the Sears, and the battery was so bad that it wouldn't even register on their testing device (meter whatever).

Ah well, there went another $80 into the car (that makes it about $1,500 this year).

[Solly Mack]

7. Ouch!

I don't think there's ever a good time for car repairs but they do always seem to come when at bad times.

I promise not to post any spoilers!

Besides, I'll probably read it, then read it again immediately after....no time to post spoilers. :)

[MrSandman]

8. Have you noticed...

The people with meters are selling batteries?

What is up with that?

[ET Awful]

9. Well, considering the battery wouldn't hold a charge and the car

actually died in the middle of the street after it had been jump-started once, I'd say it's a safe bet their meter was right-on.

I'm just happy it wasn't the alternator :)

[MrSandman]

10. They are probably mostly all accurate...

I remember when you would take the car to a mechanic who may or may not be selling batteries.

[ET Awful]

11. Yeah, but everybody sells batteries now ;)

You could take it anywhere, they all have batteries or can get them in under an hour.

[MrSandman]

16. I still have to wonder to myself each time I have ...

My battery checked.

[ET Awful]

17. Well when it's been working fine and I have it checked, I wonder

If it's been on the fritz I don't wonder so much.

[MrSlayer]

12. Mine arrives on Saturday.

Can't wait.

[Solly Mack]

13. It's so exciting!!!

:)

14. The boxes are in our library's warehouse. They are to remain sealed until

Saturday morning--and there's a camera to make sure that they stay that way.

[Solly Mack]

15. Wow! Hard core protection!

Did the library use a list for people to sign up prior to the release (to hold a copy?)...or is it first come, first served?

[blondeatlast]

18. At last count (2 PM), we had 650 some in the queue.

In order to prevent employees from getting to it ahead of time, it's kept in the warehouse, and all holds will be filled from a central location.

Publishers are very antsy about pre-pub exposure.

19. ChicaAzul, our Son and I...

...are going to be at Barnes & Noble in Augusta Maine to get it at 12:01!

Our son is SOOOO excited and truth to tell we are more excited that he!

And I get to read it FIRST!

I HOPE that some asshole fundies are there to give us a hard time. I haven't ripped anybody a new one for a LONG time!
