You know what pisses me off? Pre-ordering. What's the point of doing it if you're not going to get the books? I had 4 books pre-ordered that came out on the 4th(what book didn't come out on Tuesday?). I have two of them in my possession. And they didn't even get to me on Tuesday. I ended up cancelling my other two and re-ordered them through another store. I don't want to name names *cough*Amazon*cough* but that is not the terms of your pre-order guarantee.
Rant over. On to books.

Just a thought: I wonder how much you make as a cover model? Because that chick on the cover of Torn Away has been on a million covers the last year or so.

Amazon SUCK when it comes to pre-orders. I've completely stopped pre-ordering things from Amazon (unless is kindle books) because they always show up late.
ReplyDeleteHalf-Bad! It's so pretty in hardcover! I wasn't a major fan of How I Live Now, but I hope you end up enjoying it more! Ooh! I haven't heard of OCD Love Story before and now I want it. One Man Guy sounds really good too!
Great haul, Brittany! Happy reading :D
I hate it when pre-orders take too long to arrive. Half Bad and Fire & Flood look really good, I can't wait to grab them myself. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy reading.
I always pre order but agree that they should come quicker!!! I so want Half Bad!! It sounds so good. I also need to get The Shadow Throne. Enjoy them all!
