Have you seen/heard the news? Penguin and Isobelle both posted photos of the actual physical book of The Red Queen this afternoon on Twitter/Facebook.

It could hit the shelves any day now (unless there's an embargo, in the which case, it'll be Nov 12th still)!

What are people's plans for reading it? I'm switching off my phone and computer - basically going dark like Isobelle did when she wrote it - to make sure anyone who's able to read it a lot faster than I can (most people, since I can't sit and read for 24+ hours any more) don't send me spoilers inadvertently...

Ha! I'll read, like you, when the infant permits. Trying to hold child and 1120 page book is going to be tricky, though.

I really want it to be embargoed until the 12th, I have exams until then, so I wouldn't be able to read it, and fear for spoilers.

I think I'm going to research spoiler blockers if it does come out earlier...

I'll go dark too I think, or try to. Can we try and keep the spoilers confined to one thread on here? And nothing on fb or is that too much to ask.....

I'm on leave that week, but my house settles on the 9th so I have to get it ready to be painted. Hopefully by Thursday I'll have time to read though

If you use Google Chrome, I just found Unspoiler ~Link~ , which is an extension which will (largely) block spoilers for you (all you need to do is add in keywords, like destroyer, The Red Queen, TRQ, Obernewtyn, etc, etc). It might not completely hide it (looks like it doesn't hide posts here), but it will certainly warn you if there is a mention (at the top of the page).

I'm sure there will be other, similar things out there, but might be a good idea to use something like it - try as anyone might (i.e. I'm sure we'll request it be kept to one thread, and not posted on FB), there's always going to be something that might slip through

Good idea regarding going off the internet.

Has everyone preordered theirs? I didn't preorder, because the last couple came out on time, or even earlier, so I'll just be checking bookstores a couple days before and on the release day.

The Dymocks in the Brisbane CBD do a thing where they reserve you a copy and send you a text when they've got the first box open...so if it is early hopefully I will know straight away! Could it actually be early?? I always assumed release date means release date... And I'm going to basically absorb the book, everything except for teaching children (which is sort of not something I can ignore) can wait haha. In fact, perhaps I can set them work to do and sit in a corner of the classroom...

I think I will be going dark too.
I will find it easy to do it as my exams finish on the 13th so as soon as my copy comes in the mail it will be the focus of my attention.

I am a spoiler [censored]. I will read everyone's spoilers. I'm also pretty certain the first thing I'm gonna do is flip to the back and devour the ending because I'm terrible! What can I say: FIGHT ME!

I promise all my commentary on the book will be nothing more than *SCREAAAAMING* posted with the page number though.

Oh wow, loads of people going dark then. But what you've said Shonk about screaming page numbers...that's part of the fun, too...
Wonder if we should all try keep a reaction record. We could have a thread where you come post your reaction to everything as you read it, once you finished? Then we could all still laugh/scream/cry, at our responses.

That is a great idea! hopefully I can remember to do this :) it'll be interesting to see what everyone else reacted to as well, and what they noticed that you might not have :)

I always think that I'll read a long awaited book slowly and savour it... And then start it only to soon realise it's already finished... So I'm pretty sure I'll devour this one too, so I'll be dark but probably not for long :P lol. I'm just super grateful that timing of both TS and TRQ were perfect, the first came out just after I started my PhD and the last one just after I'm finished *phew* it would have been horrible having to wait months to read it!! huzzah for holidays :D

Haha oh this is going to be *so* much fun!

I would like to think most people will be considerate and flag their spoilers - I'm torn though because I DISLIKE spoilers, but love the idea of reading/ reacting how everyone else responds to things :P I'm so far behind on my re-read I prolly won't get a chance to finish it until a week or so after everyone else.

But I don't mind so much as I think it'd be nice to savour this moment as well ^.^
