You're not alone! I still have yet to get mine. My stupid school post office takes like 5 hrs to process mail. And I know its just sitting in there because it arrived at 10am. Ughhh its killing me. I'm marching there at 4 and I'm going to make a scene (maybe even put on a scottish accent. Red haired girl w/ scottish accent will probably scare them into giving it to me haha) But I'm happy for you too!
@Adventures North and @Molly: Oh no! You are not alone. I checked and found out that my copy was to be shipped to my office. It's 3:00 pm EDT. It's not coming today. USPS has come and gone. UPS - not this late! I can't believe I didn't just purchase in a bookstore. (I wanted it signed. Silly me!) But it is paid for. Funny how that works.
Picked up my copy this am at Barnes & Noble - love Molly F's comment. Thought I was going to have to get saucy with the customer service lady who acted like I was mad saying a new book was out. Luckily, another clerk overheard us and knew exactly what I wanted.
Egads!!! Mailbox is once again E-M-P-T-Y. I'm about to cave in and pick it up at the local bookstore. Ugh! Don't think Ben&Jerry's will be enough to console me tonight......
you are not alone!! I will be the last one to get the exile!! I live in a small canadian town and it will be another week at least for me. But thats ok - I'm used to it!!! Enjoy your book everyone and you'll hear me yell with joy when mine comes in!!!!! :(
nope you are definitely not alone! I was told mine would arrive between Tuesday and Thursday...well it's Thursday(here in Australia at least), so where is MY BOOK!?!?
I picked mine up Tues morning and have read it twice. I need to talk and I'm having surgery tomorrow!! I'll probably be up all night waiting for someone to start talkin'
For those who don't have their Exile yet and live in the Northern Hemisphere: look outside. There is a beautiful Harvest Moon (last one before the autumnal equinox) with a bright star below it (Jupiter)...verra much like what Jamie saw 200 years ago eh?
You guys are all so awesome. I can't believe we've got friends in Canada and Australia waiting for their books too! (Well I CAN believe it but I love that you guys hang here in Purgatory with us and it's TOMORROW for Josie!) : )
Having said that - I got the book - I finished the book - I made a video with Tracey. My apologies because it's going to be longgggg. But not a stone was left unturned!
My absolute THANKS to all of you who held my hand while I was waiting for my book....
My absolute GOOD SHIPPING VIBES to those of you who haven't received the book yet - an I promised you, it is definitely worth the wait!
I'm about to go post this as a blog entry now... I hope no one minds. :)
Adventures North... I feel so bad. I totally know how you feel. Yesterday was such a bad day for me. Keep the faith. And Jamie Fraser is worth it, right? So you will appreciate it that much more when you do get it. I promise. :)
Got mine yesterday too.... got home late (filled a seat for work at a United Way charity event) so I only got a little bit into it. Will probably not get to finish it until tomorrow as I am going to see the Goo Goo Dolls in concert tonight (woot woot)!!
Yay! I keep going to the chat room and all I can hear is an echo...hallo? hallo? anyone? LOL
ReplyDeleteHUZZAH!!!!! Oh, you will LOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah!! happy reading!!! I can't wait for you to start some discussion!
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Give us a thumbs up or down!
ReplyDeleteJust open to page five and leave it there 'til the kids come home!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I can't wait to see what you thought about the story and artwork (since I usualy agree with your opinions).
ReplyDeleteYay! Can't wait for you to finish so we can discuss! Tangent-I just realized I married Jamie-with hazel eyes and brown hair;)

ReplyDeleteI'll have mine tomorrow for sure. I'm going home at lunch break to look for it.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it finally arrived, and am looking forward to a video or new post with your thoughts!!
ReplyDelete@bretam...wonder if the dog-sled carrying the mail will get to me or you first (-;
ReplyDeleteI don't know how all of you who live near a real-live bookstore are exercising such restraint. I tell ya, if it were an option, I'd be there!
