Tonight!

I read about this series in EW and bought the second book in the airport on Sunday around 6pm. I was finished with the book by the time I got home at 1AM. I've now finished all three of the books and am patiently awaiting my pre-ordered copy of the last one. I'm on the Jacob team...but, I think she'll have him imprint with someone before the end of the book so you don't feel bad that Bella chooses Edward.

I forgot to pre-order, so I am debating whether or not to make a midnight Wal-Mart run, since it's only 5 minutes away...

Oh, and I am totally Team Edward!

Me too. I'll just head out to Barnes & Noble tomorrow and if they run out, then i'll just wait until tuesday when Sam's Club releases their new books to see if they'll have it. (although i should have asked when I was there today! lol)

I'm thinking about heading out to Borders at midnight
But Wal*Mart might be less crazy

ETA: I just called Wal*Mart, and the managers know nothing about the release of Breaking Dawn.

Sad! I just assumed they would, since I remember taking my little brother at midnight for several of the Harry Potter books. Oh well.

I've been writing all day, and am now grading papers, and am so thankful I didn't try to reserve the book somewhere to pick it up tonight. I'll swing by the "small" tomorrow and hopefully get it at the local bookstore. And if not, I'll find it before the weekend is out.

Looking forward to reading it, though... eventually!

I got the book at 00:08! It's 754 pages! I'm not going to read til tomorrow though.

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!

So I couldn't make myself stay up long enough to go to Borders at midnight!
lol
I'm such a loser...
