macros he/him Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I was able to obtain a copy of Shadows of Self today. Can't wait to start reading it. I was wondering if anyone else has already gotten a copy. Also, are full book spoilers allowed in this sub forum as long as spoiler tags are used, or does that have to wait until the official release? 3
Chaos he/him Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Full book spoilers will not be allowed until October 6th. I am glad you got it early, but whoever sold it to you or something should be in big, big trouble. So yeah. Nothing on the book outside of the sample chapters is allowed until release. 2
Chaos he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I'm also going to restrict all comments on the entire book, unfortunately, natc. Don't worry, there's not much more time to wait, all things considered. 1
WayneSpren he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 How on earth did he get a copy??
natc Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 So he's not allowed to say "SoS is an awesome book!" either?
macros he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Sorry guys gotta respect the wishes of the mods. Ill let you guys know on the 6th
Chaos he/him Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 So he's not allowed to say "SoS is an awesome book!" either? I'd rather just err on the side of caution. What if the response was "I liked it but [iNSERT OTHER THOUGHTS HERE]". That's spoilery.
Kaymyth she/her Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 How on earth did he get a copy?? Beats the heck out of me. The best I've ever done is the time when the Post Office accidentally delivered my copy of the 6th Harry Potter book a day early. 1
ThirdGen Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Doctor Who preorderers got the season 7 finale early. They didn't. Spoil. A thing. It can be done. Hey! No. Edited September 17, 2015 by ThirdGen 4
emilylime she/her Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I have a friend who got WoR early because her mom was a librarian... XD Edited September 25, 2015 by Spooky Eowyn 1

AndrewStirlingMacDonald he/him Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Amazon accidentally released the full version for Kindle a few weeks ago. For a little while, when you clicked the "look inside" link, instead of showing an except, it just has the whole book. It was a very unfortunate lapse on Amazon's part, and one that apparently happens with alarming frequency.
Titan Arum Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Today I received my copy of Shadows of Self from Weller Book Works. I bought a signed and "personalized" book, which Brandon's answer was simply "Nothing!", not even a RAFO! I think I will wait until tomorrow to begin reading when I get my e-book version. This one will remain on my shelf.
Zathoth Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Please read it soon. I need to discuss it with someone or else I will explode into tiny rainbow colored rabbits all listening to the name of Lord Destructorpuff. Edited October 5, 2015 by Morzathoth
firstRainbowRose she/her Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Sorry to hear your book wasn't personalized. What number were you?
Titan Arum Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Yah, according to Peter, I gave him an "out" with my question. Thus he could avoid it and write "Nothing!". My question was "What can you tell us about the Terriswoman Worldhopper that we don't already know?" This leads me to speculate that either he really means RAFO or that we will never see of her again so there is no new information needed. I doubt it's the latter and think he really means the former. I have book #1311.
mistvaulter Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Unfortunately funny story: My signed copy from Weller of Shadows of Self was delivered to my house today. The unfortunate part is that I'm away at school and have to wait for it to be mailed to me.
GhostDragon178 Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Your all lucky, mine doesn't arrive until 15th October. Doesn't come out in the UK until then apparently.
Windrunner he/him Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 Mine is here as well, but today is incredibly busy, so I'll be burning the midnight oil to get it read. Still super pumped!
Chaos he/him Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) Let's wait to post full book stuff until midnight tonight Mountain time (Brandon time), which will be about eight hours from now. I'll post a "Shadows of Self reactions" topic so you know it's okay. But you'll be able to read the book now Edited October 5, 2015 by Chaos
Moogle Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I don't suppose anyone knows when the Kindle version is released? Nobody seemed to know the last time around, and I'm curious if the process has become more open.
vineyarddawg Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I don't suppose anyone knows when the Kindle version is released?

skaa he/him Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I preordered the eBook from Google Play Books yesterday and received it almost half-past midnight Philippine Time (so, a bit less than eight hours ago). Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep. I'm going to pay for this later in the office today when I doze off during a meeting, for sure. *looks for some coffee* Edited October 6, 2015 by skaa
