There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Oooh, yippee! My library is finally listing Blameless in the catalog! Obviously it's not in yet, but I put myself on the waiting list.
And I believe I've mentioned my library's Web site makes me sad because it doesn't show where you are on the waiting list. So I know I'm waiting on Mockingjay (and now Blameless), but I don't know how long I have to wait!
I'm assuming with Mockingjay they ordered a shitload of copies, so I'd bet I don't have to wait too long.

This is really confusing because I saw copies of Mockingjay in Borderlands on Saturday.
I probably won't get around to reading the series until October, when I hope the holds free up at the library.
As of Friday, Target had a big sign for Mockingjay, but no books.
My YA friend in Seattle said there were no copies at the bookstore this morning.
The SF library is showing all their copies as only "ordered", which worries me, but I don't know when they ususally get copies in relation to the release date.
The Cincy library does a program called On the Same Page (or something like that), in which people are encouraged to read the same book, and have discussions about it, etc. So to pimp that program, the library system has a ton of copies of the given books. Usually there is a YA book and an adult book, but last year for both groups it was The Hunger Games. So I'm guessing that simply based on the interest that program created, they'll need to have ordered a shitload of copies of Mockingjay.
(And I just wish I knew where I was on the waiting list!)
I bought my copy of Mockingjay, so it's in hand and I can read it!!
(but I won't as I'm in the middle of Parrot and Olivier and I'd like to finish that first -- see my self control?)
Your self control is stunning.
Just placed a big order with Amazon (dvds) and had to pick up a copy of Watership Down for my collection. I reread it four years ago after not reading it since 8th grade, and have been wanting to read it again.
Also looked to see if a romance series I've been reading for several years (Robin D. Owens Celta series) had its annual update yet, and since it was released a few weeks ago I was able to add it to my order. Yay! I don't read too many romances anymore, but Owens and Nora Roberts (just her trilogies/quartets) are always on my to-buy list, as is Loretta Chase (who publishes all too rarely).
