Pre-Orders: What books are you pre-ordering so far in 2011?
Yeah, I thought they looked interesting too, so I bought em while they were cheap. They come out only 1 month apart I think.
A "YAY" morning! Two books I pre-ordered last June--
-- are wending their way to me even as I type this (gotta at least go brush my hair for Mr. Deliveryman!) and amazon told me I got them for 203 and 189 yen (sniff..GR doesn't like my yen sign!) cheaper than when I ordered them. (Yen used to be close enough to a dollar to say "about $5"...but now... well, happy to have a low price though sad about the reason!)Off to finish pre-ordering everything else...lol...snap it in there under the lowest price guarantee early with hopes of the yen's even slight recovery!
I don't normally pre-order books but Borders had a really good deal on Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris. Between the 40% off deal, the extra 10% I got for having a Borders Plus card and some Borders bucks that I had earned-I got it for $3.50.
LOL Judithe "gotta at least go brush my hair for Mr. Deliveryman!" :)Great deals, Ladies!
I got an email from Amazon last month, I think, saying I'd saved .... wait for it .... 1¢! I kid you not! Where to spend it?? LOL!
Judithe, here's a ¥ you can c&p. ;)
Ooh Sandra, you've got the best reading lists. I've been busy stealing your pre-orders for my TBR. The Druid one looks interesting, and the Wild West one looks like it just jumped on my next order from Bookdepository. Yay!
Also today I (with trembling hands) pre-ordered the next Downside Ghosts book which I am going to mainline when it arrives.

Just went to look up some pre-orders on BD and found:Pass the sick bag: Win a Royal Wedding sick bag
LOL! I think I want one! Love their sense of humour.
Amy, if you liked that you should look up Knit Your Own Royal Wedding. There's even a youtube of this book. Check out the director's cut.

Hehehehehe. Did you watch the video? I loved the two older ladies: "What would they need a sick bag for?"

My favourite of the wedding tat:Crown Jewels Condoms -Royal Wedding Collector's Edition
According to The Story of Crown Jewels page it's the "Gentleman's Condom", we're honouring our heritage with these "love sheaths" because "England boasts some of the finest lovemaking in the world, with a tradition of coitus going back generations."
Cue hysterical laughter!
Oh, and at the bottom of that page -
Coming soon from Crown Jewels:
Extra large Empire Condoms
Extra strong Churchill Condoms
Everyday English Cuppa Condoms
Poor Churchill. Bet he never thought he'd have condoms named after him. They won't be popular, who wants to look at his ugly face right before they get down to business. What a downer. Literally.
You gotta love the disclaimer too:
Crown Jewels Royal Wedding Souvenir Condoms are not supplied to, or approved by, Prince William of Wales, Catherine Middleton or any member of the Royal Family.

I am off to pre-order. :)
I just added to my pre-order list
I am still waiting on:
And I am still trying to decide if I should buy:
Moss I can't find it for pre-order (Sacrifical Magic, Downside Ghosts #4) -- where did you pre-order it?

Thank Sandra -- Amazon and B&N still don't have it listed. But I can't wait! I will check out BD. Oh wow -- frustrating Ames!!!

Poor Ames. I've done that twice now! One pre-ordered from Amazon and the other from BD. Now I've started noting my pre-orders in my library software, so I can check before pressing order. I am thinkin' about pre-ordering the UK PB version of
from BD. It's release date is two days after the US HC version
. But, I don't have any others with UK covers. And..... he looks so scrumptious on the US cover ..... augh :\ what to do?! Need to decide quickly b/c May is just around the corner. Yippee!!

And end of August is Aftermath by Sirantha Jax and Envy by Ward (or early september) and #4 in Tana French's series (not UF or PNR). It will be a good month or so!
I haven't read Singh's Psy-Changling series yet but I love those UK covers! They look amazing!I have so many Pre-Orders! I won't list what I've done so far but I'll list the ones I am waiting on.
Might cancel:
I've never pre-ordered a book, but I have the others, so I need to complete the set (I know, there's more).
Seriously, never ever? I can't help myself. I'm always on the fence, then click the pre-order button b/c I'm hoping it'll save me a few $.Ditto!! Can't wait for Magic Slays! Woohoo! And a double Woohoo for Kiss of Snow!!
I'm going to have to either show amazing restraint and wait for my copies to be delivered by the wee mailman or click "Start reading ... on your Kindle in under a minute" for both of these.
My Magic 8 ball is saying Highly Likely I'll be reading their eBooks. ;) Shhhh, don't tell hubby he's buying the same books twice ... again! LOL!
ETA: Actually, that might be okay for MS since he's fighting (not happenin') for the chance to read it before me. Now, I can read the eBook and he can wait for the book to arrive in the mail. ;)
If anyone has pre-ordered
and you send a copy of your receipt to Alyssa (mail@alyssaday.com) she will send you a personalised signed bookplate and you'll be entered into a comp for a japanese doll.
Thanks for that Michelle, I've got that one on the list but haven't ordered it yet. When is the cut off date, do you know?
Sorry Sandra, I knew I forgot something! June 1st for the comp and bookplate. The book is released on the 7th :)
Thanks Michelle :) I've got time then, I'll put it in the next order, hopefully, still with 10% off. LOL.
I preordered for the first time this year. I preordered Late Eclipses by Seanan McGuire and Etched in Bone by Adrian Phoenix.
