I just went to the website for the book and saw he's doing an event in Brooklyn tonight with Books Are Magic. Which I love. I might have to go grab a copy. I love his stuff.

Did you get an advance copy?

I did get my hands on an advance copy, but I won't be starting it until tonight. So not much of a head start.

I'll be finishing my current read today or tomorrow. I have a stack waiting for me on the shelf that I'm excited to get to. But Devil House might just have to jump the line.

I've read both of his other novels and I like his band a lot. His other novels are great.

last weekend, i overheard a girl seated at the table next to ours tell her friend/bf about the GoodReads review she wrote about his new book.

i didn't hear any more details than that.
