A lot of that was unexpected. I was not seeing any of that coming. And well done on leaving the expense at the end.

Tickets are already selling.

TLOS4 is currently sitting at #1 on the Barnes and Noble bestseller list. Yay!!!

Well so it is, even a few days after the tour announcement. Nice .

ETA: I just picked up my younger kids from school. One of the teachers holding the door open had a well-worn library copy of The Enchantress Returns in her hand. I didn't get a chance to ask her about it, but lol to those who believe these books aren't popular in schools or amongst the age ranges they're written for. I know I've bought  several classroom copies at the Scholastic book fairs for teachers who've requested them, but it just made me happy to see a teacher with one today .

@chriscolfer Can’t believe #TLOS4 is #1 of ALL books on bn.com !!! Big THANK YOU to everyone for preordering!

Chris knows it too.



And he just tweeted this:

My lovely housemate once again bought me another of Chris's books.

I didn't read the whole thing because i dont' want to be spoiled, yet i can't help peaking a bit, and

Spoiler:

^You and me both.  
(and probably a bunch of other people, lol)

I reblogged the Table of Content with my eyes practically closed: I don't want to spoil myself that much (I always skip over the Table of Content in a real book as well: I want to be surprised while I'm reading the story).
But I caught that bit of information too by accident.


Only less than a month before the real reading can begin!

I have to wait until for August for my book to come in the mail. 

 But I will enjoy seeing others excited as they get their copies. 

Chris put in an extra paragraph for Polly Bergen.

So sweet. He's been very fortunate to have worked with some of the great remaining legends of TV and film.

I see Will gets first billing this time around in the family and friends section. I'm sure the tinhatters are rabidly photoshopping it out as we speak .

The tinhatters are going to have an awfully hard time trying to squeeze Darren's name in place of Will's because by putting Will first, they really didn't leave any space.

Admittedly sniffled when I read the tribute to Polly.

Agree 100% about the tinhatters
I got teary eyed reading the tribute to Polly.

I am pissed. No mention of Brian and Cooper? All this loyalty day in and day out, plus assistance in writing (we have instagram proofs) get them nothing in return?

Excellent! It's at #7 on B&N's top 100 list today. Chris' appearance with Jimmy Fallon was a nice promotional boost apparently .
