I Shall Wear Midnight!!!

[dichroic]

There are sometimes advantages to being in Europe. I just bought Terry Pratchett’s latest Tiffany Aching book, I Shall Wear Midnight – which won’t be released in the US until September 29.

Ahem. neener

(You could of course counter with all the movies that come out earlier in the US, but I don’t really care much about most movies!)

I couldn’t get the Kindle version because that’s only available now if you’re registered with Amazon UK instead of US – I assume they make you sign up with one or the other specifically so they don’t have people breaching publishing dates, not to mention copyrights, everywhere. In this case I don’t care; I have all of the other Tiffany books in hardcover and want this one that way too.

And also, I bought merino (blend) tights today, not a thing I’ve ever found in the US.
Though to be fair, a quick Google says Saks carries the same brand. And any American who thinks that in general European clothing is more expensive but of better quality is doomed to sad disappointment. (Well … the more expensive part is right, anyhow.)

I didn't say I'd read it... ;)

I haven't read the Tiffany Aching books yet--I've been told that I may like them better than the Discworld ones, so I have them in my TBR stack.
