This is the ultimate suckage. I hope you have prospects at a cool new establishment that would never dream of closing its doors. Or letting its shelves go Jaz-free for even a single minute!

YAY. Problem is, the store is closing in two weeks (BOOOOO)and I have no idea whether it'll get here in time. *sobs* so yeah, I may have to try Amazon, as you say Carolin. Also, I am almost finished Another one Bites the Dust, and I only bought it on Sunday! :D I love Jaz! :D She's just so nuts, like me O.o *coughs* so yeah, hopefully I'll get the next one before I go nuts and kill our regional manager for closing the store *evil laugh* :D checked my work today (I work in a bookstore, and yes I live in the UK :( )and there are two copies of Bite the Bullet on order for when it’s finally published!

So if you absolutely can't get it anywhere, that's a good alternative. While I do love my old and beautiful book shop, they sadly have majorly slimmed down their English book section and to me the translations are a rip off from the original words of the writer. While it's great for people that don't speak the language, I'm picky... and I do enjoy the originals a lot more. Not to mention that you get them faster, and I'm probably the most impatient person known to man when I have to wait for things like this!

I have yet to find the books in any major chain, though W H Smith seemed to think that they were going to stock it (and never did). That said, my trusty, has-everything-I-could-ever-dream-of family owned book store (I love a good traditional book shop, the kind where you can get lost in messy stacks, overflowing with treasures just waiting to be discovered) seems to make up for it by selling and restocking them quite a lot. Perhaps you need to find one of those, wherever you are, Donna! You may have to do some poking and pestering but it's worth it - book 2 is even better! re: Jaz in the UK – it sounds like she might be.

I love when I find a site full of fun people to comment with. I say Double Boo to the Winter Blues!! It's been FREEZING here and all spare moments have been spent sitting in front of my couch, book in hand, mini heater blasting my WAY frozen toes-ies. I am 100% ready for some warm spring sunshine. Final comments - YAY Firefly, Death to Titanic, and somebody PLEASE buy Anita a chastity belt. ;o) Wee! I love when I find a site full of fun people to comment with.

Sorry to hear you're having to hunt for Jaz. Are you in the UK? As for becoming addicted, you have my full support in that endeavor. We're very lowfat and (somewhat) stress free! Take care!

I was so mad at the end of that movie I could've puked. Didn't watch Leo in anything after that for years. But gave him another chance when "Blood Diamond" came along. Glad I did--excellent show. A drama, yeah, but tons of action to keep it moving. You may have a point there. I was so mad at the end of that movie I could’ve puked. Didn’t watch Leo in anything after that for years.

Does turning all teenage girls into tearful wrecks count? I know at the time it made me want to go blow something up to make it stop. Preferably a cinema. I suppose that just makes me a threat to national security. Hmm... I’m sure some argument can be made for Titanic being a threat to national security.
