Nearly there.....can't wait!

Really looking forward to Thursday. I have a feeling this weekend will be almost entirely dedicated to reading Dodger! ...perhaps accompanied with a glass of red or 2. Maybe.

Welcome Oliver! I've got my copy preordered on Amazon, so I'm hoping it won't be too long after Thursday.

Got confirmation that my book is on its way today so hopefully here very soon

I've ordered my copy from Waterstones JUST CHECKED and it's waiting to be picked from the warehouse.

 

[Oliver]

Thanks for the welcome Tony

I've ordered a Kindle version, so I can be sure that I'll have it ready to read on Thursday.

Would you not get a real book :doh:

You might have noticed Oliver, that pip does not like ereaders we keep trying to convert him , if you look at some earlier posts, and welcome to the forum from another Kindler.

There is an advantage to being home, free from work (due to dentistry) for a few days. I confess to an early morning kindle purchase despite buying the real thing tomorrow, madness I tell you. It's not too difficult to find a 'free' kindle version either but one must support one's fav' author and add to one's collection an all that.
I thoroughly enjoyed 'Dodger' despite the rather abrupt finish, must be the shortest TP book ever (something that TP acknowledges in the afterword). I'll reserve my full opinion until I've had my second read through.

Regarding the ereader/kindle phobia thing, you CAN have both, this is what I always say to the perplexed luddites

Ahh, well if it helps, I tend to buy physical copies of almost every book I enjoy too. There's nothing quite like a real book. But then, there's nothing quite like the convenience of a Kindle!

As for Dodger, I'm about half way through so far and I'm really quite enjoying it.

My copy has shipped - now the waiting begins.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I'm going to pick up my copy tomorrow.

I took a look at the price for Kindle last night, and decided against. Not at £8.50, and especially now that I read that it's quite a short book.

It's 350 pages, Bouncy.

That's not short.

I got my copy this morning.

For an extra 95 p you can get a real book Bouncy
