Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is already #1 on the Amazon chart. Yes, I've pre-ordered mine (thanks for the extra discount, Pinksparkly!). One hopes that Amazon will overnight even its regular shipping copies, as usual. Much nicer to have the thing appear on the front porch on publication day at 40% off than to have to wade through B&N.

I'm hoping they will too since (as per my bitching in my LJ), I'll be stuck in Boston helping to run a doll convention and I would rather have it in my hands that Saturday courtesy a good friend who is willing to bring it to me at the hotel than having to wait till I get back to New York on Monday or Tuesday. Mostly because otherwise, it means I have to avoid the internet for 3 or 4 days while everyone else has read it and discussed it.

I know, poor pitiful me. I am hoping they'll be kind and do it last time. Hell, I had gone for the free shipping option last time and they got it to me On The Day.

Were I in your place, I doubt I would be fretting any less over it. I'm just glad this stuff doesn't get released over MediaWest weekend.

Though, if it did, imagine how quiet the hotel would be...

At least at Media*West, there would be a large contigent of people who would make it an event and all go to a local bookstore (if possible) and get the book at midnight.

I don't have that luxury, even with a B&N down the street from the hotel (well, about a mile away). There might be some Potterfans in the Barbie community but they're not going to skip out on the con events they paid for especially when they can't get their con-swag if they're not there.
