Tomorrow! Tomorrow! New Toby tomorrow!

[seanan_mcguire]

So tomorrow is my happy bookday, as A Red-Rose Chain drops and everything is awesome. I'll open a talkpost for y'all as early as I can, but I have a morning dentist appointment, so it may not be as early as I'd like. Please do not leave spoilers on other threads; wait for the talkpost to open, for the sake of people who may not be able to read right away, okay? Thank you so much.

I am super nervous. Pocket Apocalypse didn't make the NYT list, and I really, really hope A Red-Rose Chain does. So please forgive a little twitchiness as we go into the final countdown.

You're all amazing. Thank you for being here, and letting me tell you stories.

It means the world to me.

Oh! I hadn't realised it was coming so soon. Happy zebra here :-)

The Winter Long was awesome; I can't wait to see how the story continues!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[marziek.livejournal.com]

Can't wait!!!!!!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I am always so excited.

My copy is winging its way to me, and I keep thinking happily, "New Toby tomorrow!" and planning my day so I can read it right away. Thank you so much for sharing your worlds with us.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Always.

[taylweaver.livejournal.com]

Can't wait to buy it!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[ebartley.livejournal.com]

Preordered on Amazon; in theory I just need to sync my Kindle tomorrow.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

[anne_d]

B&N shipped my copy today. I plan to drop everything and start reading as soon as I receive it, yay!

Thank you for creating such amazing worlds and sharing them with us.

Also too, I wish you as fast and painless a trip to the dentist as possible.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

I'm having to restrain myself from checking the clock continuously. Thank you, Seanan, for sharing your worlds, and your talent, with us!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Very welcome.

[reedrover]

Good luck at the dentist!

I have a bookstore raid date penned in for tomorrow evening. Wheee!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

You have made good life choices.

[acelightning.livejournal.com]

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[lysystratae.livejournal.com]

I purposely finished the book I was reading AND DIDNT START A NEW ONE so I'd be free to start this as soon as it shows in my Kindle. I'm reading cereal boxes and toothpaste tubes... Hurry up, Tuesday!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Woooooow.

[jenfullmoon.livejournal.com]

I am being a good girl and ordering it from the local indie bookstore. Which for some reason usually takes them 2-3 days on average to get a book even though I ordered it last week. Grr.

Oh well, still trying them first instead of other alternatives so I can keep another bookstore in town :P

[taylweaver.livejournal.com]

You have more patience than I do. I walked to the nearest independent store likely to have it, and when they didn't (they said they could order it), I walked five blocks further to Barnes and Noble. Of course, the fact that the weather is less than pleasant right now, and the fact that it was a 20-30 minute walk might have played into that decision... Oh, who am I kidding. I just couldn't wait to read it.

/rubs crystal ball.
OMG. Amazing book. I can't believe what you did with the ***** in the ***** and how you ******** and then ************************.

I want a rose goblin.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Snrk.

Honestly, I am so excited about this new Toby that I'm actually planning to wait until 12:01 am on Sept. 1 (about 45 minutes from now, where I am), and see if Amazon updates the page and will let me buy the Kindle version that early. I've never tried this before so I have no idea if it will work. If not, I'll just buy it after work tomorrow (if I buy it in the morning I'll just read it during the day during work hours, I know myself too well.)

TOBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

[naurwen.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!
OMG!!!
OMG!!!
:D

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Glee.

[phoenix-singing.livejournal.com]

I just downloaded it to my Nook and can't wait for lunch so I can start reading!!

Happy bookday! I hope all goes well at the dentist!

Also: thank YOU for writing and sharing your stories.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

You are so welcome.

CORN KITTY APPROVED.

This time I went with a paperback instead of a kindle version. So now I'm waiting (rather impatiently) for the mailman to deliver my copy. Would it be considered rude if I snatch it out of his hands and run back into the house to read? lol

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Maybe, but I'll back you up.

[shancara.livejournal.com]

So sad... have to wait until the end of the workday to read the story (the paperback version which should arrive at lunchtime) cause my Audible preorder doesn't release until next week. *sigh* Or at least I should.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Aw.

[alana lee rock (from livejournal.com)]

Well... after being so excited and looking forward to downloading the audio I instead find out I get to wait another week and attempt to avoid spoilers for an entire week waiting for the new release date of the audio to get here. I know it's not your fault regarding tech issues with the audio... but to have my 'countdown' on my pre-release purchase suddenly go from hours to an entire extra week. It hurt my heart. I feel like us audiobook listeners are the red-headed stepchidlren of the reading world. *Sigh* September started off on the worse possible foot for me.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

In this case, it was really tech problems. Like, things went horribly wrong.

[wenhaver.livejournal.com]

It's annoying that Goodreads (and hence, and bunch of blogs with new release roundups) have the wrong date. GR is listing the release as 9/15. I really hope this doesn't mess up your sales/NYT listing chances, because people who rely on those list dates won't go looking for it for another 2 weeks. Obviously, there's nothing you can do about it, but I'm frustrated on your behalf.

I've been reading my Kindle copy this morning. The ARC is lovely, but I find it's much easier to sneak off to the bathroom to read if I'm not hauling a paperback with me.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Really? That's weird. I wonder if it was due to the audio book being delayed.

[hawkwolf.livejournal.com]

This is one of the only times I am happy to be unbooked at work! It means I'll be able to get off early and get to the bookstore today instead of having to wait until tomorrow!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[wyrdness.livejournal.com]

After some sleep my first iteration sounded amazingly passive-aggressive to me. Sorry about that. What I meant to say before my inner, sleep-deprived arsehole came out, was thank you for continuing to share your stories with us, I'm sure I'll enjoy reading A Red-Rose Chain once I get the opportunity. Good luck with the NYT list! :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

Happy book day! Thank you for writing stories for us to read. Can't wait until my copy comes in the mail!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[mrs-norris-mous.livejournal.com]

I am in the UK and Amazon still have sometime in October so I have ordered another copy from a second source which is also Amazon :( but that bit of Amazon says I can have it Saturday... so the other can be a lending copy \o/.

However ...... Saturday.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Excellent.

Unfortunately

[capplor.livejournal.com]

The release coming so close to my Daughter's birthday means I promised her first read. At least it's a weekend and she reads fast; maybe I'll have it by Monday.

RE: Unfortunately

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Totally fair.

[vettecat.livejournal.com]

SD just gave me the book for my birthday! Yay! Thank you for always releasing a new book on my birthday so he knows what to get me. :-)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!
