I think our local bookstores will start an advertising frenzy soon-maybe even this week. I remember they announced that we could pre-order the books months before with the last title that came out.
Only thing will be that its hard cover and pricier...Since i read them long after most folks they are sill pretty fresh...but i might do a speed read to get ready for the last one.

Still shuddering over the possible axing of the main character. :o
