Yeah, that fandom is strange, to put it mildly.

Nope, I don't have it pre-ordered yet. Not sure how long shipping it here will take. I probably will ask the stores here when they'll bring in the books before I decide where to get it.

Heh, yeah, waiting is good too. I just know that the internet will be bursting with spoilers coming August. I have no idea how I'm going to avoid that. =P
