The real reason Mustard's book didn't get an ad link is that it is not available on Amazon. If you want to buy it, you sadly have to go to an actual store.

I'm ticked because I can't afford to buy a copy of Mistborn.  I'm actually more sad about that than not being able to buy food.




I swear I didn't see this before I called you yesterday! But I'm really glad I did. :D

I must say that I hope one and all have a ball tomorrow at the release party/signing/fest type thing.  It's a bit of trip from Oregon or I might just be tempted to pop in myself.  I guess I'll have to take my second best option:  a trip down to Ashland to enjoy the Oregon Shakespeare Festival all weekend.  I guess I can live with that.  Brandon, make sure and stop in Portland on your Northwest trip this fall!!!

Right now MB is #6,729  on amazon but that could drastically change since now it's teamed up with Terry Goodkind's new book (#5) in the buy it with section for both books.  That's some good free advertising.
Screw it, I'm buying crayons and paper. I can imagineer my own adventures! Wheeee!

It's hard to tell whether that would make EUOL happy or not, considering his opinion of Goodkind.

lol.  I'll take it.  Interesting how that works.  I noticed he was on my page, Sprig, but not that I was on his page too.

Heh.  That is funny.  I wonder how those pairings are made up?  I would be certain that it's all about the dollars and cents somehow.

Oh, and to whom it may concern, I *did* go ahead just now and change my (unaffiliated) pre-order to one that I placed through the TWG link.  Umm...you're welcome?

Hmm.  Guess I'll just have to try harder.  Ah well...at least my books are on the way!

Coolness.  I hope my three copies helped.  And yes, there must be three.  One for me, one for the wife, and one for emergencies.

Good idea.  I've decided that due to my dire financial situation continuing to continue that I will keep the signed hardcovers for show and will buy paperbacks for reading.

heh. I always get two because I want to have one copy to read and possibly get a bit dinged up and the other signed copy to stay all personalized and pristine. Of course, maybe I'll switch to buying three once I find myself a hubby. ;)
