Y'know, the fact that it's hitting the street means all you 'don't read the promos' people are really just delaying the inevitable at this point.

I mean, you would effectively be reading what you're going to be reading any day now anyways.

And the cat demon's yowlings have backfired upon him. Some of us are receiving our blessed gifts earlier than others - and earlier than the cat demon can get his hands on this gift from the heavens too. We do not begrudge our brethen as we understand that the angels of delivery are not all equal in terms of speed. In fact, they engage in cosmic cannonball runs with leather helmets and much sabotage of each other (while preserving the general sanctity of the Dresden package, of course). It looks like QuickTidal's angel has avoided most of the in-fighting and has reached him first. Perhaps next time, my angel of delivery shall win out or another's.

This moment of cheer has strengthened my resolve and the arrival of another angel of delivery bearing two seasons of Luther on DVD has given me something else to occupy my mind's hunger.

This is probably not going to garner me any sympathy, but I'm already 100 pages in and I feel like I'm reading it too fast! Trying to savour it, while being bathed in Dresden crack is like resisting cake or beer...

So far...(spoilers up to the end of Chapter 10-11)

Couldn't resist clicking the spoilers. Dammit there's one character mentioned that I've really wanted to see for a while.

I haven't read the spoiler and I WILL NOT READ IT!
Anyway, at least not untill I get that damn book which I don't seem to be able to pre-order anywhere and I don't do amazon or bookdepository cause it'll take more than a week to get here and I want the damn book on nov 27th or earlier oh and bookstores don't have it either.
The wait is almost unbearable.

It is a delightful pain to resist the temptation. And I know the feeling of reading will be so much better once I do not have stop stop prematurely.

Keep fighting lads!

This book is like that crack that's been set out on a plate in a fancy hotel room, the pipe is made of Diamond encrusted bacon and you can eat it after you get your fix.

It's. Damn. Good.

It's lunch time at work, time for another hit...

Oh Yeah!

I feel the hate pouring off you guys. Goooood, gooooood....give in to your hate and read the sample chapters.

Finding it early was probably good luck from having read the sample chapters a few times.

Dear amazon.ca,

You have approx. four hours left to email that my copy of Cold Days is on the way and then I'm cancelling that big juicy order and just going to a fucking bookstore.

Love,
- Abyss.

Yeah, it wasn't just one store in Toronto which had it, it was 4 of the 5 locations near me that had at least 25+ in stock...makes me think the rest of Canada has the same shipments delivered.

Chapters/Indigo's website has it with a "pre-order" status when you click on it, but if you hit the link to search store inventory, the copies will show up there...I checked on Sunday morning just randomly and saw that they had stock even though it's not released yet...so I ran my ass down there.

Every chance I get to read this book is like cream, sweet delicious cream.

If it helps I DO hope the lot of you get your copies soon! We need to chat about this.

Fuck, I'm only 12 chapters in and I already NEED to talk about it.
