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!
