So I couldn't make myself stay up long enough to go to Borders at midnight!

I'm such a loser...

Ok, so call me crazy, but I think that if a book comes out, a bookstore should have book AVAILABLE!!!

I went to B&N like 20 minutes ago, and apparently they have a sufficient amount of copies, but they are only allowing the people who reserved books to buy one. WTF? So because I didn't reserve a copy I have wait AT LEAST 2 weeks to even try and see if they have books.

Yet when I inquired about reserving a copy last night, I couldn't!!! They told me to just get it today when it came out. Uh yeah thanks for the misinformation.

Shouldn't this be a "first come, first serve" type thing. I can see reserving a copy for the whole midnight shenanigans that they had, but shiiit I should be able to buy the book if they have a copy in the store!

So, I told myself I wasn't going to go look for the book, but curiousity got the best of me. My mom told me she saw the book @ the Kmart she was at...so I went to the Kmart by my house. No luck, so I just gave in and went to Walmart, where they had plenty.


All I have to say is OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, I can't wait for you all to finish the book b/c I wanna talk about it.........like NOW!!! haha

So, I went to the midnight thing at Borders and got there at 11:30. There were lots of kids my daughter's screaming very loudly so I had to see what was going on. It was a costume contest.. very good costumes, I must say! There was an Alice who was PERFECT for Alice. Anyway, I got the book at 00:08 and took a picture of it to text to my daughter. I had car work to get done yesterday morning so I took the book with me to the tire place. My daughter called just as I started reading it to find out what page I was on. I said "Page 4". She says "Page 4??? If you're not done with it by the time I get home I get to read it anyway!" I assured her I would be finished. She called 3 more times yesterday to find out what page I was on. Now I have to make sure I don't say a word to her about it!

I finished it at 10:30 last night! When can we start discussing? I loved it!

I was at the mall last night and bought a copy at the border's there. just walked in and grabbed it. I'm more than halfway done. :)
(did i mention i ordered a copy from amazon but it won't be here for about a week? now i have an extra copy )

WinniBug 08-03-2008 04:43 PM

I bought mine yesterday morning after I had my hair done. I also went to my 10 yr class reunion last night...so I'm ALMOST finished...less that 1/4 of the book left....but what a twist she threw at us!!!
LOL, I love that the rest of y'all are just as dorky about this book as I am!

My daughter got to the end of Jacob's section and yelled "MOM!!!!!!!" I ran in there to see what was wrong, figuring there was a spider in her room and she said "Did Jacob imprint on _______________?" And I said "yup!" and she started laughing hysterically. I couldn't wait to see her reaction to that!

I was at Borders today and there was a group called "The Bella Cullen Project". TBCP is a trio of girls who has recored an album based on the Twlight books. Here's their website www.bellacullenproject.com

Okay - still reading BD, but I'm so glad this thread is here so I can come back and blab when I'm all done with it (although I have skipped ahead and peeked at what's coming...;))

I'm *one chapter* from being done with Jacob's story so I know what's coming next :D

icelandelf 08-03-2008 10:53 PM

I got the book from the B&N release party (they had a BUNCH--even for those like me who didn't reserve a copy :) I just finished it. Wow is all I can say.

DoctorD 08-03-2008 10:59 PM

y'all just shhhsssh.... I haven't had time to read it yet! I have my copy, but no time... frustrating, I tell you!

amycat412 08-03-2008 11:40 PM

I'm reading! My local grocery store had it for $15. Go figure! hee hee

WinniBug 08-04-2008 07:41 AM

Ahhh!!!! I finished it before I went to sleep last night!!!!
I wanna talk about it now!!!!!

I got it for $13-something at Borders

AGDee 08-04-2008 01:33 PM

So I call my daughter at lunch just to check in and it goes like this:

Daughter: "I can't talk to you, I'm reading"
Me: "What page are you on?"
Daughter: "734!"

Heh... I should hear from her soon.
