Thank you Emilynna!
for those of you lazy bums, here's the entire quote:
for those of you lazy bums, here's the entire quote:
It’s hard not to love a book dedicated to the Glee star’s grandmother, who gave him this early advice: “Christopher, I think you should wait until you’re done with elementary school before worrying about being a failed writer.” In this entertaining if a bit overlong first novel, 12-year-old twins Alex (a girl) and Conner fall into their grandmother’s cherished book of stories and arrive in fairy tale land. The only way to get home is a convoluted scavenger hunt that requires them to collect eight tokens from various fairy tales—Cinderella’s glass slipper, a lock of Rapunzel’s hair, etc. The ending is never in doubt, but it’s a difficult journey as the twins meet the Big Bad Wolf Pack, are enslaved by trolls, and kidnapped by Snow White’s evil stepmother. Colfer gets off many good lines—Conner’s dialogue especially sounds like quips Kurt Hummel might make, as when the twins swim across an icy moat: “Wooo! It’s so cold, I think we may be twin sisters now.” The nifty ending ties the plot’s multiple strands up while leaving room for further fairy tale adventures.

Re: The Land of Stories Main Thread
I am so happy, because I can buy the book where I live. I didn't think my country would get it, but we are getting it. I have to wait until July 31st but knowing I can buy it over the counter instead of on-line is so much easier for me.
For any other fellow Aussies that are on here Dymocks are getting it in.
I was first told they weren't but last Friday I inquired about it again and they are definitely getting it.
They must have been getting others asking for it, so they must be realising that this book is going to become popular so that is why they are ordering it now. Don't know about the audiobook though.

^I ordered it from Amazon in the UK. So England is getting it too.
I don't think it will be available in my country, unless it gets translated. And that would be a huge step up for Chris: getting his book translated.

Re: The Land of Stories Main Thread
Well. I'm getting it via questionable ways myself (unless I can't find it in which case I'm expecting one of you to send me a copy of your ebook or buy me one - however you like ), but if it ever gets translated into Serbian, I'm buying that sucker no matter the cost (actually, if I manage to find a copy in English here I'd buy that too, but given that it's a kids book, it sort of diminishes the odds of finding it in a different language then Serbian. Let's face it he ain't J.K. Rowling. YET)Glorfindel wrote:^I ordered it from Amazon in the UK. So England is getting it too.

Re: The Land of Stories Main Thread
So TLOS is ordered by Dymocks in Australia.
Damn. I think I ordered the book too soon via the Barnes&Noble website.
The shipping cost is more than the cost of the book, and I had to spend ~AUD 25 for my copy.
Oh well, I'm planning to buy 2 copies anyway (the other I'm planning to buy as a gift for a colleague's daughter who is a Glee fan). If my copy doesn't arrive in my mailbox soon enough for my liking, I'd head down to the city to get one from the bookstore in person.
@tanita_mors, I'm getting the hardcopy version instead of the ebook version though, so I won't be able to help you there

Since it's a pre-order, can't you just cancel the preorder and get it near home?

Um... pre-order? I dunno. I'm pretty sure they've deducted the money from my credit card already. It may be quite a hassle to get my refund back.
But I don't mind. I want to pre-order it so that it somehow adds on to the perception about how in-demand Chris's book is

Usually you can cancel preorders, they don't charge until it is sent.

Is that girl a little excited? LOL.
Yah, the design is cool. And I'm glad they chose that photo, I was worried they would have chose Kurt's photoshoot for Season 2 Promo.
...No well, I'm joking, but seriously, that photo is everywhere.

Did you see photos of the Glee mugs that came out, showing Season2 Kurt with Season3 Blaine side by side? I did so much eye-rolling when I saw it

^I don't think so. The girl with the awesome face said on her tumblr that the cool outside box was probably only a promotional material for advance copies.
