It was. And I just went to a BAM in Ohio, sort of near me, and guess WHAT I HAVE IN MY HANDS RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

RUINS!!!!!!! Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells Ruins (Partials Sequence, #3) by Dan Wells

I think I'm hyperventilating.

That BAM is going out of business and I happened to walk by one of those portable shelves on wheels that they use to re-shelve books, and there it was. I said "You've got to be kidding me!" and a lady standing next to me just gave me a look like she thought I was crazy.

IT'S IN MY HANDS! AND IT DOESN'T GET OFFICIALLY RELEASED UNTIL NEXT WEEK! OMG OMG OMG OMG!

Rose (The_Calm_Reader) (roselittlebookowl75) | 1372 comments I actually ended up buying The Fault in Our Stars by John Green and didn't buy Tell the Wolves I'm Home, waiting for it to come down in price a bit. I am actually thinking about buying Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers as it's on the Kindle monthly deals for $1.99! Anyone read Grave Mercy?

The cover is really cool, and it has two sides, one white and another black, I think it reflects the plot. I can't wait to read it! XD
