I have tried to buy the book for some days on my Kindle without any luck, but just today it appeared on amazon.com Kindle store.
In the Netherlands it’s available at Bol.com. Happy reading!
First post updated! Keep giving advice/information to help those who struggle to access a copy! Warm thanks!
Hi I’m from Australia and got mine from Booktopia :)
Hi again, Thanks Florian for updating and checking the links. Update: here’s the link for Abe Books UK (Currently I see 4 sellers selling the book - as price is likely to fluctuate I won’t quote a price here) its a long link so incase it gets cut off - if anyone wants to find the book sellers just use the search bar at abebooks.co.uk and type or copy and paste in the author and title. https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/Se...
Kinokuniya SG and TH websites - I just double checked, the books are listed but I understand some websites links may not be accessible worldwide - so for those in Asia who need/want Kinokuniya Singapore or Thailand just go through your internet search engine. Note: as of just now for this book Singapore Kinokuniya is out of stock (they may restock) and Kinokuniya Thailand “Availability Status : In stock at the Fulfilment Centre.”
Hope this helps a bit.
I'll check for Austria. Be back in a bit.
Thalia, for about 15€ plus shipping (or in any of their shops, in case you have to order it no shipping of course...)https://www.thalia.at/shop/home/sugge...
Amazon: 14-16€, either Kindle or Paperback
https://www.amazon.de/Things-Would-Te...
Morawa: e-book, 10€ (or I think they would also order the hardcover or softcover for you)
https://www.morawa.at/detail/ISBN-224...
I got it as an ebook but from my library so if you have a London library card you can get hold of it! I think you just need an app called Libby it’s really brilliant!
My overdrive / ebook options at my library are so awesome! Whenever they don’t have a book, they have a link that says, “Is this the book you’re looking for?” And then have an option for me to recommend my library but it. They didn’t have this month’s books or the last few months but they always got the books for me within days. So If your library doesn’t have it, I’m sure you could ask if they could maybe get it for you!! 🌻💛
if you are interested in ebooks, you can subscribe to scribd. first month is free and they have this book.

To be honest, I was thinking about the accessibility of the book (in other word I was grumbling and maybe complaining a little bit 😮 sorry 😁 ). So I decided to think a bit in attempt to propose a solution. Possibly, there are better solutions but I did not find them 😊

I discovered this application two days ago, i ordered the book on amazon yesterday and i'm waiting for it to arrive!I haven't read an actual book in a while (only fanfiction) but i realise that i may read fanfictions a bit to much so i decide to go back to reading books in different genres and not just fiction. I'm also planning on reading french book again, (I'm french but i haven't read a french book in a while) I'll probably read the one i had to read for school just for the start.
I was able to get a copy through the market place with barnes and noble. I got it within two weeks. It does look like the book is now in stock so you may not have a wait time

I live in Australia and bought my copy off book depository - they're pretty good with stock. I've never seen them out of stock for a book I tried to purchase.
In the US, I often look on thriftbooks.com

They have all the Our Shared Shelf books, actually. If not in stock then available to order. But in the The Hague store..."
That's so cool.
For french people, we also have a VO Bookshop in Lille: https://www.librairievo.comIf books aren't on the store, they always look if it's possible to order them. Thanks to them I was able to get The Radium Girls. From memory, the book took a week to come :)

I have seen a few people mentioning they were struggling to access a copy of the Jan/Feb book because it has been quite coveted. I guess some of you have already bought your copy/kindle so I think it would be helpful to create a list of places/platforms where one can procure a copy for himself/herself.
I propose to classify this list by country on this very first post (I'll try my best to edit it as often as possible). It would be very kind if you can reply in a comment where you got your copy depending on the zone/country where you are. I am sure some members will be grateful to be provided some solutions.
Thanks!
