Three weeks

A Feast For Crows comes out in three weeks, on November 8th. I’m contemplating saving money by downloading the audiobook rather than shelling out for a hardcover. If I do, it’ll be a minor milestone — the first time I’ve chosen audio over print for the first read of a new book I was excited about. And I am excited. I’ve had to stop reading the ASOIAF message board so that no one will spoil the book for me. Those lucky brits already have their copies, and significant numbers of Americans who ordered from Amazon UK. I thought about doing that, but buying the book plus shipping to get it here before the American release was prohibitively expensive. And I haven’t finished rereading the first three books yet anyway. Sure, you might say: Is it really necessary to reread them for a fifth time? To which I say, simply, yes.
