Tomorrow (Tuesday) is the official release date so more availability may open up then. I see Amazon, B&N and BoB have it listed tonight. Although, I don't know what is available in Europe.

I placed a "Hold" at my public library where they have it listed as "on order." This is for the hardcover.
Thank you, it seems BoB US has got it, BoB UK doesn't. Hopefully the gift card trick still works.

I just finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I'm now moving on to the second HGTG book: The restaurant at the end of the universe. I hope it's as good as the first one

I'm guessing this is pre-release? I can't see it on Smashwords or Amazon. I really need to read the first one. Maybe I'll schedule it in for September.

I can't see it on Amazon or Samshwords either and I have eagerly been waiting for this sequel. Now I'm all exited. I will pick it up as soon as it's released.

Tale of 2 Cities? To Kill a Mockingbird? 1984? Wuthering Heights?
Of the now what's you've mentioned, the one that's the best of the bunch is To Kill a Mockingbird. And the movie is very good too.

Yes, utterly splendid. I'm a little biased in favour of the original radio series. I urge you to avoid the dreadful film. The TV series is interesting in a "what people did before CGI" kind of way.
The movie wasn't dreadful. It wasn't nearly that good.

From the one book I read, Discworld appears more fantasy than sci-fi.

All the better!! I like HHGTTG just because of the sense of humor. I'm not a fan of sci-fi. I'm a BIG fan of fantasy.

I just found out that Cold Vengeance is sold only on Amazon (can't find it on any other store) and it's geographically restricted. Hopefully my local store will have it on sale tomorrow!
Sorry, it's not only sold at Amazon. It's sold in ePub from Sony & Kobo to name just two stores.

It's releasing August 4th, so you only have a touch longer to wait! I'm also doing a giveaway on that one with my review. I've been anticipating this sequel, too! (Caleb, you definitely need to read the first one...)

But not for Europeans unfortunately.
After I've finished the book I'm currently reading I'm going to see if the gift card trick still works with BoB so I can buy it at the US store.

I'm so tired and frustrated that I managed to completely screw up my reviews at both Goodreads and Shelfari tonight. I read (this time I've got it right, I promise) Tempest in the Tea Leaves by Kari Lee Townsend. Great cozy series debut. But I listed that I'd read Pleating for Mercy by Melissa Bourbon. That one's next up on the reading list. Both books released today - gotta love New Release Tuesday! Now if I can only manage to remember what I"m reading...

It looks like Sept 15th is the release date for UK. If the trick doesn't work, you may have to wait until then.

One of my all-time faves!

I hate to admit it, but I'm going to have to put War and Peace down. I've read about half of it, but I really just don't care about any of the characters. Sorry for the heresy.

Just picked out Zen in the Art of Archery from my bookshelves. The last time I read it was 1981. It's very short, and I ordered a couple of fun books from Amazon yesterday, so I think I'll be on to something new in a day or two.
