Laurel Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 My Amazon order shipped Friday and (ducking) it says it will arrive tomorrow. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) I'd never heard of this series before but the premise sounds interesting. Will have to take a look at my library's copy of the first book to see if it's something I want to read. ETA: Just found out there are currently 72 holds on The Hunger Games so that means I'll have to check it out at B&N.

unsinkable Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 OK -- Update: It was $10.99 at BJ's. DS #2 just announced that he is on page 15 and there hasn't been a sentence more than 5 words long. :lol: He and Snickerdoodle must share a brain!

AngieW in Texas Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) My 17yo had to leave the house at 9am this morning to pick up Mockingjay for my 12yo. Mockingjay is my 12yo's school for today. I would have picked it up for her, but I was teaching an actual class with one kid who is not mine this morning starting at 9:30, and I wasn't sure I would get back to the house before they got here.

Mabeline Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 (edited) Yes!! I just checked at the library and I am #34 out of 64 books available to check out. I wonder how long it will take my library to get me the book on my hold shelf? I can't wait! ETA: Argh! Now I will be obsessively checking my account all day!:glare::lol: Edited August 24, 2010 by Mabeline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Got mine! :D but my daughter has snatched it. :glare: Same here. But that's okay because I'm finishing up the 2nd one again so I can just swing right into the third - I remember being severely ticked that I was left hanging at the end of that one. By the time dd has warmed it up, I should be ready! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Mine's finally here. :) Ours just arrived a little while ago. I haven't heard a word from Jeffrey since The Man in Brown knocked on the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom31257 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Ours shipped out today. The estimated delivery isn't until Thursday. We are on pins and needles here. Hurry up, FedEx Man!:toetap05: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauranc Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Can't wait to read this! My son pre-ordered his copy, and we're picking it up tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiCO Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm a bit embarrassed, but I can hardly wait for next Tuesday. These books are like crack. I'm immune to Harry Potter, Twilight and any other popular series you can name (though I did refuse to let DD the Elder get her hands on the third in the Sea of Trolls trilogy so we could read it together)... but I was up until 3 last night finishing Catching Fire. <sigh> Me! Mine shipped from Amazon yesterday. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwlKnits Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Mine will be here tomorrow and I will be stalking the UPS man. The copy I ordered for my sister (bday present) arrived today. Darn her for living closer to a Amazon warehouse than I do!!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Mine will be here today. I can't wait! There is going to be a fight over who gets it first. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelle in MO Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My dh (Dad 4 Boys) is number 157 on the library list! Looks like it'll be a while yet, considering they only own THREE copies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckabell Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I just checked my holds at the library. They have it on the shelf! I was 75th or so on the list, but they ordered at least 40 copies. Yeah! Even though we went to the library a couple of days ago, it looks like we'll be going after naps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PollyOR Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Bought it yesterday evening and had it done by 2:30am this morning. I wanted to slow down and make it last but I couldn't. I won't say anymore as I'm sure some of you are still reading it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'll say is that more than once I feared Collins was headed for an easy out, but my fears proved entirely unjustified. I'll head over to the Mockingjay thread after I have more sleep or a gallon of coffee. :closedeyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
