your kidding right? angus n robertson told me i had to wait until may!!!!!! maybe cos melbourne is bigger than bunbury plus we are WA we get everything after you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THAT SUCKS!!!

Try big w, they're selling it too, and, it's cheaper..
maybe because they're a bigger store, they might have it in WA sooner than a&r...
They originally told me may too, but then i got the call thrusday to come pick it up!

or, maybe they're sticking to some kind of embargo, just go in and demand that you get a copy, because it's selling everywhere else already...get them to call a melbourne store! heheh force them to sell it to you! Smile

I HAVE IT!

A&R rang me yesterday and said that they had just come in from embargo, and cos I had a pre order, they'd give me my copy now instead of waiting!

I LOVE ANGUS AND ROBERTSON!

Hey dazzle_me_frequently, is the book really good? I assume it is spectacular, but I am just curious. Shocked (waiting very impatiently).

I finished last night, and I am so amazed! (I won't reveal anything, don't worry!)

Basically I bought it cos it was Stephenie Meyer.

But it is so much more than just Stephenie Meyer. It is excellent! It took me about 100 pages to get in, but after that, I was besotted.

I have had, like four hours sleep all night because I stayed up and read it. It was like the second half of Little Women for me - I was in tears the whole way for some reason.

I didn't help that I was watching Chelsea beat Liverpool at the same time. When Frank Lampard kicked his goal for his mum, I just finished. And I broke down crying.

I'm really starting to worry myself....

BUT IT WAS GREAT!

It's out here in Puerto Rico too. Don't really know why...

Anyway, I finished it on Monday. It's fantastic and I recommend it to everyone. Very Happy

i cried through the entire book!

i'm so glad that i wasn't the only one! my friend read it at the same time and didn't cry at all! me, tears, almost the entire book. it was beautiful.

and you're right, it's not just because it is stephanie meyer, because following twilight would be a hard thing, but the book on its own, is stunning. and amazing, and beautiful. Smile

high fives for being emotional bookies! Very Happy

yeah, it took a tiny bit for me to get into it, but once i did, it was amazing, i couldn't put it down, although, when i did, it was only because i was getting far too emotional for my own good. lol

it's a beautifully written book! it really is.
