Stupid first day of stupid new job. I have books to read!
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

ARGH, the audiobook won't be out until the end of October! Do I break my rule about format-mixing within a series, or do I ask the Studios folks if they can slip me a pre-release mp3? (Note: waiting is not on the list of options.)

End of October! Madness.
ETA: if that is a plea for advice, whichever is faster...

Fastest would be to buy the Kindle and have it in 20 seconds, but my inner type A really wants to continue the series in audio since that's how I've read it so far. And I don't think the Invisible Library books will sustain me another month. (I have a loooooooooooong commute. I can churn through a 15-hour book in 7 days.)

Our wings are not tired.
I'm jealous of the ability to focus on audio books. I've only tried a couple times, but I get distracted and realize I am not paying attention.
Annoyed that work is keeping me from my Nook. I have only managed to get enough time for one chapter. Stupid having to work for a living.

Frustrating, but true: I have a day where I can't read and my husband is sending me texts with each chapter he finishes. At least my kiddo has gymnastics until 9 pm tonight so I will have a couple of hours to read then. Yo, Cousin! Next time I need a release day where there are no meetings with the Provost!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I pre-ordered my copy from Powells, and got an e-mail yesterday that it shipped.
I don't know when it will arrive, but I've got plenty of reading material to hold me until then.(Am currently reading The Brightest Fell)

Well done, Sparky1!

not your mom's socks.
You guys this whole thing brightened my entire week.
Jess - my understanding is the delay is a twofold thing - partly coordinating Raviv's and Kristine's schedules. I am so sorry it's not out on time.
Sparky - he was texting you chapter by chapter?!? Why he no do this to me. I love hearing where people are. Mostly :)
If this should go in natter, I can move - or delete. I might delete anyway., but I have a bit of stalker - he earned himself a safecom black mark at one con this spring, after buying [firstbook], getting me to sign it, and then deciding that meant I was his now. Or something. He's popping up on Facebook posts about the launch, and probably was the source of my first amzn review (which is a gem). So thank you, this on top of a bunch of other stuff? Made the past few posts even brighter and more heartwarming than usual.
