Feeling a little left out!

I was feeling pretty clever when I pre-ordered it on Amazon. Afterall, that's what I did for the previous book in the series. Of course, I forgot that when you live in England you get post on Saturday mornings, so you have your much-awaited book to read over the weekend.

I live in Ireland now. We don't get post on Saturday. Not only that, but it seems I didn't pre-order early enough since my copy was only dispatched yesterday!!! Come on people!

It was all made worse by walking into eason's yesterday where there are endless copies piled high. Taunting me.

Friends who relied on local bookstores for their copy have not only got it but finished reading it and I haven't even received my very own copy! I feel silly and left out now.

Being optimistic the earliest I can expect my copy would be tomorrow - that's being optimistic!!! And I work from home. How will I control myself? How will I focus on my job, when the book is sitting on the hall table, calling to me.

I should have bought it in easons on Saturday. would it really have been that silly - at least I'd know what happens and wouldn't feel so tortured.
