My. Book. Is. On. AMAZON!!!
The amazing Sarah J. Maas just discovered something wonderful.
She found my book on Amazon
.
It is for-freakin’-sale.
On top of that, there is a lot of new information to be learned on the Amazon page.
For example, Something Strange and Deadly has a release date.
I had no idea.
But I am THRILLED to learn it.
The last time I asked Harper, they told me “July-ish”. Well, apparently it will be available July 24th.
Amazon also declares the book as HarperTeen.
I had no idea (though I did guess).
But I’m THRILLED to learn it.
Since Harper Children’s bought the book, I wasn’t sure if they’d throw me in the HarperTeen pot or not.
Finally, Something Strange and Deadly has a list price. The hardcover is set at $17.00 (or $12.23 on Amazon).
Again, I had no idea, but I am THRILLED to learn it.
But best of all–the definite icing on this whole delicious cake–is that you can now pre-order the book.
PRE-ORDER IT!
How wild is that?
WOWZERS, guys. I am just in total shock. Elated shock. 😀
And…um…you tell me: is it terrible that I immediately pre-ordered my own book?

That is super exciting! I’d have pre-ordered my own book too. Congratulations! *tosses confetti*
October 22, 2011 @ 9:41 pm
EEEE! I am kinda going crazy with the squealing here. 😀 <3

That is super exciting! I’d have pre-ordered my own book too. Congratulations! *tosses confetti*
October 22, 2011 @ 10:15 pm
Woohoo!!! Congratulations!!! That is SO EXCITING 🙂
October 23, 2011 @ 12:09 am
I *know*. I totally triggered an asthma attack with my excitement.
October 22, 2011 @ 10:20 pm
Even though I’ve already said this like 10 billion times in the past few hours….CONGRATS!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO SURREAL AND EXCITING!!!!
October 23, 2011 @ 12:10 am
It really is surreal, Sarah. THANK YOU for stumbling on this. You’re the bestest friend a girl could ever have. <3
October 22, 2011 @ 10:51 pm
LOL! Very interesting all the facts Amazon ‘leaked.’ haha Congrats!! Be proud!
October 23, 2011 @ 12:10 am
Ha! I know! It makes you realize how out-of-the-loop the author really is! I guess, in the end, I don’t need to know all these facts *now*. 😀
October 22, 2011 @ 11:16 pm
That’s awesome! Congrats!!
October 23, 2011 @ 12:11 am
Thanks! I am beyond thrilled (as I’m sure you can tell by all my exclamation points!).
October 22, 2011 @ 11:17 pm
See, I would pre-ordered my own book a hundred times, so no, not terrible 🙂
BIG congrats!! Very excited for you, and can’t wait until July now….
October 23, 2011 @ 12:13 am
Hahaha, if only I could afford a hundred times. I called my mom, and she said, “I’ll order a thousand copies!” To which I replied, “Really, Mom? Consider the cost…” A long pause filled the phone. Then she amended, “Yeah. Scratch that. I’ll just buy a few.”
October 23, 2011 @ 1:34 am
YAY, SOOZ!!! Guess this is proof that Amazon KNOWS ALL. 😉 HUGE, huge congrats!! I can’t wait until July!!! <3
October 23, 2011 @ 11:18 am
Seriously, though! Amazon really DOES know all, don’t they!! 😀
AND THAAAANKS!
October 23, 2011 @ 2:47 am
yaaaaay! I’m so so so excited for you!! and I just pre-ordered it!!
October 23, 2011 @ 11:19 am
Oh, thank you, Happy!! I really, REALLY appreciate that! (I’m gettin’ all teary-eyed.)
October 23, 2011 @ 2:49 am
Gosh, this is so exciting!! July is going to be here before we know it!
October 23, 2011 @ 11:19 am
I know! Someone already informed me it’s 275 days… Seems like a lot, but hopefully it flies by! THIS IS BETTER THAN CHRISTMAS!
October 23, 2011 @ 2:58 am
I already mentioned this on Facebook, but YAAAAAY! I’m so happy for you, and I totally want to pre-order it! <33333
October 23, 2011 @ 11:20 am
THANK YOU, Sydney! I love finding your messages all across my social networking world. You’re the BEST!! (Also, I’m totes gonna come to Jacksonville next summer and sign copies JUST for you.)
October 23, 2011 @ 2:47 pm
Oh PLEASE come back to Jax at some point! I’d love love love to hang out with you again! 😛
October 28, 2011 @ 9:51 am
Done, and done! The next time I am in Jacksonville, I SOLEMNLY SWEAR to tell you. 😀
October 23, 2011 @ 3:08 am
Edit: I just pre-ordered it! I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! <3333
October 23, 2011 @ 11:20 am
EEEEEEE!!!!
October 23, 2011 @ 4:25 am
Oh my God, congrats!! How crazy is it to find out your pub date and imprint not from the publisher, but through the Web? 😛 That must be such a pride-inducing sight — so excited for July! (Do you feel like you’ve made it now? :D)
October 23, 2011 @ 11:21 am
It is SUCH a pride-inducing sight! And to be ranked #43 in teen historical fiction? COOL. 😀
October 23, 2011 @ 1:59 pm
Woo! I was checking for it a couple of weeks ago on Book Depository (free shipping for us Aussies) and couldn’t find it yet, so you’ve had a pack of people out there checking on your behalf! SO IMPATIENT to read this thing. July 2012? ASDF$%Q#$%. That is all I have to say about that. Anyway, it’s also available on bookdepository.com, and I’m all pre-ordered!
October 23, 2011 @ 2:11 pm
OH HOLY MOLY, AMIE. This just made my freakin’ day. I totally forgot about the Book Depository!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. You’re the bestest. For real. <3 <3
October 23, 2011 @ 4:41 pm
Well I’m so broke it isn’t even funny right now–gahhh, broke college student, I have like $20 to my name. But when I get paid I am pre-ordering IMMEDIATELY. I was waiting on a post with you saying it was available, so my response to this was just a giant YAY!
October 23, 2011 @ 5:53 pm
Hahaha, I forgive you for not buying it, Arianna! You should DEFINITELY save your money for things like FOOD. Now all you gotta do is convince your library to buy it…. 😉
And YAY is right!!!
October 23, 2011 @ 5:51 pm
It’s pre-ordered!! Now you have to find someone to leak your book-tour dates so I know my options for geting it signed 🙂
October 23, 2011 @ 5:53 pm
Um, you know you can always just SEND me your copy and I’ll sign it!! 😉 Then again, having a signing and having you come would *also* be pretty fantastic…
October 24, 2011 @ 4:09 pm
Squeeee! That is so exciting!!!! Did you make a screenshot for posterity (yaknow, like people frame a copy of their first check)? I can so totally making the screenshot my background for a bit. Sad, ne?
Release day will be here before you know it!
October 24, 2011 @ 6:24 pm
I DEFINITELY made a screenshot! I make one for everything… The PM listing of the deal last year, the PM listing for the German deal, my acceptance into the SFWA. 😀
October 25, 2011 @ 3:14 am
No, it is totally AWESOME that you preordered your book! I might just have to go do that as well… 😉
P.S. I love the new blog look!
October 25, 2011 @ 8:06 am
Thanks, Madeleine! I’m glad you like the layout. There are some glitches still to be fixed, but all in all, I’m pleased. 😀
And yes, I definitely pre-ordered my own book and will do it again! Gotta have one from every bookseller, right? 😀
October 28, 2011 @ 5:43 am
Yaaaaaaay!
October 28, 2011 @ 9:50 am
I KNOW! YAAAAAAAAAY!!! 😀 😀
