I'm not counting at all. You could all be lying and it could be 205 days and I wouldn't be any the wiser. I don't intend to count at any point until "Days until Amazon.co.uk stops being dumb and actually sends me my book now, please."

I'll type up some of Book 12 for you(and anyone else who doesn't have it) if I get it on time(which is fairly likely) and if I can find the time to do that(which I'm not as sure of).

This time I'm actually going to go out and buy the book rather than hoping that Amazon.co.uk will magically stop their aeons-old blood feud against me and everyone I love. So really, the only problem is the differing release dates and the possibility that my local bookstores won't actually have it.
But thanks for the offer. Really, I appreciate it, and will appreciate it even more when I'm sitting at home alone, brooding, unable to read anything in BBooks.

Hoepfully AOL will have the first chapter on their First Reads page like they have for the last 2 books. Then no one will have to laboriously type it all up and it should be posted before the book is actually released.

That'd be great if they had the first chapter up.

The self-imposed exile stage is really painful. But perhaps, conceivably, maybe they'll be released more or less at the same time on both sides of the Atlantic by now. I can only hope.

We probably will have Chapter 1 before the official release. But if I can, I'll type up later chapters for those who don't have it yet.

That's so nice a palindromal.
What makes the wait so tedious is that, is the fact that at this time we had the name and the letter by this point, and we have so many expectations that aren't being fufilled.

Exactly. We'd be a lot more patient if we actually knew SOMETHING about this book we're waiting for.
110 by my reckoning...
