I'm 9th on the list at my library, and five more have put holds after me. I don't know how many licenses they will have on release day, though. Pre-listings always show as one copy, but if there's demand they will buy more. I likely won't get to start it on release day, either way. Of course, with release day being the day after a US Holiday weekend, I probably won't have time to read anyway. :/

I had it pre-ordered, but that was before I knew about my trip to Florida, then friends from out of the country coming in, and other unanticipated things on the list of "places my money flies off to". So I will read it from the library and buy it later, because I must have a complete collection.

Someday I plan to buy the whole series in the Roc Hardcover editions. Right now I only have Ghost Story in hardcover.

Dresden is one of the few series that I purchase instead of getting from the library, so mine is pre ordered and just waiting to be downloaded!

Me too. I have it all in audio. Have Changes on my Ipod, but can't start it until after the garage sale closes up tomorrow. This one is longer than previous books, so I'll still have 2 books to go by the time Skin Games comes out.

I've got them all so far in hardback, and have ordered Skin Game in hardback as well. In the picture below the 4 fat books between Side Jobs and Small Favor contain the first 9 books in the series.

FLP is up to 15 people on the waiting list; another 20 people, and I have a chance of getting it on release day.

Not yet, but they're pretty good about this sort of stuff.

Sometimes they preorder, sometimes they get stuff on release or shortly after. But they add books quite frequently so I am hopeful.

I'm #15 on the list, hope I don't have to wait too long to get it.

So, just two days before the Big Day, where are we all in our rereads?

I am finishing up Changes. But I am positive I will be up to date for sure sometime Tuesday.

Really. I mean it.

Oh My Gosh we're in the final stretch!!

I've been done my reread for a while now. All set and sorted.
My plan is to have my Keurig coffee machine downstairs next to my big comfy recliner, my Boba Fett housecoat to keep me warm while I'm in my lab downstairs all night, and my wife on Molly duty because I'm not gonna stop reading once I start.

14 hours left!

New York time. Since it is the center (or at least the armpit) of the world and all.

(No I don't live there.)
