Chocolate Rose Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 or am I losing my mind? I thought for sure I even responded to it, but nothing is showing up in my searches. Anyway, I just wanted to say that Costco has this in paperback and I picked up my copy today. YAY, I don't have to wait to order it. I am going to finish the book I'm reading first (Ender's Game - dd read it and wanted me to read it before the movie comes out), but I'm hoping to finish it tonight.

Mrs Mungo Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Yes, but the search function isn't working. Try using the google site search to find it? I am on my phone (still no internet) or I would do it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Rose Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 There was one...you did not imagine it! I don't know where it is, but it must be out there somewhere! Thank you! I was really starting to worry. :laugh: I wonder why I can't find it, not that it really matters, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really want to save my money... I think I'm #11 now on the library list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I just finished Ender's game yesterday! Is Joy land on kindle? I guess not: http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/2/3058147/stephen-king-eschewing-ebooks-joyland "Most decisions about ebook availability come down to disagreements with publishers or lawsuits. Novelist Stephen King is deciding to keep his upcoming novel Joyland away from the digital ream for a different reason: the aesthetics and nostalgia of the physical medium. The book — about a student who must face a murder while working at a carnival in 1973 — is being published by Hard Case Crime, a smaller imprint known for its stylistic throwbacks to the pulp novels of the 1940's. "I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts," King said in a statement. "I also loved the paperbacks I grew up with as a kid, and for that reason, we're going to hold off on e-publishing this one for the time being. Joyland will be coming out in paperback, and folks who want to read it will have to buy the actual book." King followed a similar strategy with his last collaboration with Hard Case, The Colorado Kid, which was physically published only as a paperback."

MotherMayI Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I haven't read King in a long time, but this thread makes me want to pick up this book. Is it part of a series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa, The story is not part of a series. Hopefully I'll get my copy soon and I'll let you know what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I just finished Ender's game yesterday! Is Joy land on kindle? No, it's not. The book is published with Hard Case Crime, and they only print throwback, paperbacks. There are apparently bootleg ebook copies available, though. (Not that I am condoning getting one, just found the news interesting.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
