Just a few more weeks until we have HFQ in our hands. It's going to be great read and am looking forward to seeing what Clyntahn and Rayno are up to. Kind of scar y too. Those guys are so bad

Yep, in 7 weeks I'll have OD'd on HFQ and that itch will be mild but it will grow into an enormous hunger in 2016!

I can't wait either but it's too early to get too excited.

Besides, I haven't finished Conn Iggulden's latest book yet and once I'm done with it, I plan on reading WEB Griffin's latest- since I've picked it up already.

THEN it's a reread of the Safehold series so the whole plot is fresh in my mind before 10/13.

And we all know that silly things like work and sleep will want to interfere with me completing the reread.

Hot ziggety! Even better than watching the whining and groveling for snippets...

I just harassed my poor local librarian, and forced her to put in an order for the other half of the safehold series she didn't already have in stock, along with the pre-order for HFQ. the tone draws nigh!

Don: I'm not too proud to snivel and grovel for snippets until the book is finally released! Personally? I started at the beginning of the series with OAR and have been completely rereading everything again. Seems that every time I go through the books I pick up on some nuance that I previously missed. Of course it's usually buried in one of the "slower" sections that I tend to skim through normally. I'm also taking the time to cross-reference everything against the larger online maps - which I didn't discover and download until I was going through my very first read of LAMA. Rereading everything should get me fully up-to-speed on all the "details" when HFQ is finally released.

After this long--and yes I know there were many good reasons from David's side but not so many from Tor's side--the release of the book is almost going to be seen by me as anticlimactic.

Oh, I'll read it immediately and pore over it later. But the long, long delays really have taken a bit of the magic out for me.

Am I weird? Mean-spirited? Churlish?

And I'm not above pulling your chain... I would hope that you have figured that out enough to chuckle by now...

I'm also doing a reread... I'm up to AMF.

No worries, Don. :lol:

In the past, I've been accused of having "Ronald Reagan skin." Either really, really tough, or everything just slides right off... :lol:
