that's exciting bro. I'm re-reading all of the books since it's been so long since I've read them all. Finished LoC today, so hopefully I'll be on my way soon.

Just got home with it. My two remaining classes for the day were canceled and so I'm good to go. Last one took my 9 hours to finish and I'm going to try to beat that, though I have to vote still :/

I'm so jealous. I pre-ordered the book August 6th, but am not slated to get it delivered until 11/5-11/9 *sigh*

If you hear about the ambush and murder of a UPS delivery man in Oklahoma tomorrow, it is definitely NOT me, although I would be justified in a court of law because I clearly called ahead and left a note in the system and an additional note on my door stating that the package was to be signed for and left with the front office of my apartment complex, yet my package was put back out for redelivery instead on THURSDAY, not tomorrow, because I was not here to sign for it.

Amazon Same-day delivery pre-order, you have failed me.

Oh, and then I was called at 6:55pm and informed that, if I preferred, I could go and pick up my package in person today... as long as I did so by 7pm. :evil:

Yep, I'm cheap. When it comes out in paper back, I'll buy it. But for now, I'll just spend 7 hours in a store, reading as fast as I can.

Loved it.

Grr! I just checked amazon. It hasn't even been shipped yet because I ordered this while in another state, changed the address on my credit card, all good. However, the bank merged with another and now my card number is different. *cry* I never thought to check that. So so silly of me.

Gaebryal, I should have listened to you and bought the book days ago at Target. So what if I have two copies?

Got a copy too!!! I won't have time to read it until the semesters over, however I might pick at it a little bit. I just get too excited! Only 20 pages in so far, but already discovering so many things I was curious about since the last book.

Absolutely loved the book. I called off sick the day I got it and went on a reading spree. Finished it the next day and it is currently loaned to a friend from work who is reading it now as well.
