Leyrann Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) I got it as well! Already over halfway through. Anyways, I guess I probably won't be posting much until November 14, but I sure will read all the crazy theories people are still gonna post the coming 10 days and laugh at all of them, either because they're so wrong or because they're actually correct. (oh, if people are feeling masochistic, just PM me and I'll think of some teasers to make the wait even harder) Edited November 4, 2017 by Leyrann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrongly assumed you were living in Oso, so I called all my friends in Oslo at 7 in the morning to put them on a quest to search for the book I am so annoyed, because I organized everything to take a day off from work, so I can read and then I injured my leg, so I am having free time now and by the time the book will be out I will be healed why couldn't this happen 2 weeks from now ? People around me think I'm crazy I live in Philadelphia, but I got my copy of A Dance With Dragons from Amazon.de because German posters on the ASOIAF message boards started saying that their copies were arriving two weeks early by mistake. It took me all of about thirty seconds to get an order in for an extra $42 in shipping costs, which is good because the publisher caught the error later that day and shut it down, shipping only 180 copies. I then spent a couple of anxious days refreshing the Amazon.de order page and translating the status updates from German using Babelfish, trying to make sure that Amazon wasn't pulling any orders that were already being prepped for shipment. The upshot of this is that I paid more than twice the price to get a book ten days early, and I don't regret a thing so I certainly don't think that you're crazy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 My bookstore ordered it for me, but since everything is closed on Sundays in Germany, I'll have it on Tuesday. Still happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I called my local library yesterday to ask them if they happen to have the book, the lady told me they don't have it, but I will have to wait "only 10 days"!!! I told her that "One day is a day too long !" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastofus Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Lucky for you guys, my only option is the e-book version so I can only get it on November 14. All other options takes a long time to reach me. Re-read it for me too xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Nice! I'm not that jealous though. Im happy to get the last three chapters on tuesday, and then go get the book the 14th, and read while eating candy. Its always good to have something to look forward too (after OB its Star Wars, then its Black Panther... this is why nerds like us are happy). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it annoying that OB and the two Star Wars films are so close. After that they’ll be nothing to do but be alone with my thoughts. *shudder* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have Infinity War around the same time as Star Wars too. Edited November 5, 2017 by Toaster Retribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesleepsalot Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 Ah Roger that. As an alternative, I see she had fingerless gloves.... doesn't Shallan describe Lyn or someone else as wearing fingerless gloves? Or potentially her as Radiant/Veil?
