By the time midnight showed up, probably 50 people in line (and I still knew most of them!...little Iowa town). Everyone got a book, some people got two.
Went back later in the day, and there were still a bunch of books...
I am not going to stress over getting book 6. Probably another late night town get together at walmart on July 15-16

You are LUCKY!!! If I tried that, whoa. Any store I went into the week the book was released (book stores, supermarkets, corner stores, mom and pops, etc) were sold out. From the reports I got from friends with younger sibilings who went to midnight festivities, it was scarey. Kids screaming and crying, pushing and shoving were involved.
I'll sit at home and wait for the mailman/ups guy to deliver my book again, thank you.
Although, I did make it a point to be up at 7am to wait for the fed ex guy to arrive...just incase the door bell didn't work
