Hmmm....

My sis-in-law gave me a picture of the cover of Book 7 for my birthday. I guessed that meant it would be in my hands today. Joke is on me.

It could also mean she's using the "Super Saver" shipping at Amazon. They slow-boated everyone who didn't pony up for the regular shipping expenses.

Or you live in Alaska. I actually paid for shipping for delivery on release day and they later emailed me and said "So sorry, but you don't live someplace we can do that" I've been watching shipping on their site and they haven't even shipped it yet, much less actually be trying to get it to me as close to release date as possible.

I guess Alaska doesn't count as part of the US now or something...and the whole "we can't do that" from Amazon is utter BS. We have one of the largest FedEx distrocenters in the US outside of Memphis.

Hey it isn't just Alaska with this problem. I live in the "home" state of Amazon and I can't get something that was "Available now" when I ordered it to be shipped until next week...a whole month from when I ordered it.

People in Hawaii must also be feeling the pain.

If this really is a joke on her part, I think that I like your sister in law more than anyone else I haven't met yet.

Am I really the only person who hasn't read any of the Potter books?
