That's counting down to midnight, October 18th? Too bad bookstores won't have a big release party like Harry Potter. I usually don't get my copy until around 2:00 in the afternoon.

I probably won't get mine until I'm home from school, at 3 PM or so. Except on the offchance that Wal-Mart or someplace has the book out one day early, and Mother goes there on October 17. That actually happened last year with TGG.

Which was so unfair, tons of people had the book days before the rest of us.
I may not even get it till that weekend, our Barnes and Noble is so very far away.. I could perhaps persaude mom to go get it after dinner or something.

At least none of you live in Britain. You'll all have it days before me, so you've no right whatsoever to complain.
I'll be sending my mother to some bookstores on the day before, of, and after the American release date to see if they have the American copy in stores early (like they did with TSS - don't know about TGG, though). If I have to purchase two copies just to get the book around the same time as you do, I'm prepared to pay. The release date of the actual U.K. book probably won't be for a week or more after the American.

If I have time, I'll type up some of book 12, or possibly scan it, for those who don't have it yet.

67 days. Well at least you live close to the States Dante. I'm probably going to have to wait till October 30th for my copy, unless I preorder now. And it cost like twice as much for preorder than just buying it straight out.
9 weeks and 4 days.

Yeah, you're allowed to complain. It's like I always say - if you can complain, you've got a right to complain.
67 days? That's not much more than two months. The year has really flown by. It seems like just yesterday that it was March.

I'll probably get my dad to drop me off at my local shopping center, or 'mall'.

I don't know. Is there even an official release date for UK yet? EDIT: Quick research reveals that they are getting it on October 18th, also. Even Harper-Collins US doesn't have a nice countdown on their page, but they did finally put a link on their main page. |
