I was at Simon & Schuster the other day, and saw this gratifying stack of advanced readers’ copies:

Yes, there are ARCs of Leviathan at large in the world.
Watch this space, for soon the cover will be revealed!

Awesome! I would love to get my hands of on one of those.
October is sooooooo far away!
May 5th, 2009 06:53
WHY DO YOU TEMPT US? WHYYYYYYY –
Oh ho ho ho, but I will get my hands on one…one way or another…
Foolish sign! You cannot stop a *true* Westerfan!
Anyway, thanks for the look-see…can’t wait to see the cover!
May 5th, 2009 07:00
Eep! -wants-
May 5th, 2009 07:01
I WANT.
NOW.
Maybe I can get Maureen to snag me a copy.
BADOODOOODOOO!
May 5th, 2009 07:21
Is there any way devoted fans can get their hands on a copy?
May 5th, 2009 07:27
I actually am suffering near physical pain.
Scott WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO US!?!?!?!
All I want to do is worship your books. It is so hard to do this when they are not with me.
Appropriately last night I reread all the Melissa/Rex scenes in Touching Darkness. It never gets any less fantastic.
May 5th, 2009 07:29
BUT I WANNA TAKE ONE SO BADDDDD!!!! *reaches into computer screen to get book* ahaha
May 5th, 2009 07:29
Hee! We’ve got signs like that all over the shelves at the headquarters of the library where I work. So many shiny tempting new books!
*bites nails*
May 5th, 2009 07:29
Ugh, must have!! Evil, evil person you!
May 5th, 2009 08:06
Wow, it’s been a looooong time since I commented here on this blog. So long, in fact, that I didn’t even call myself Hope the last time I came here, so I guess I’ll carry on that tradition.
And now that I’ve just finally gotten around to buying Bogus to Bubbly, I’ll need to go back to the bookstore soon on account of you, Scott. You naughty tempter.
May 5th, 2009 09:05
Ahh! I can’t wait any longer!
I want it now?!
May 5th, 2009 09:07
But, I want one!!!! ;-[ Hmmm…. …. wait, if I must…
May 5th, 2009 09:07
There was a loud sigh in between those sentences… ;-(
May 5th, 2009 09:08
Oh, but also, Congrats Scott, that really is awesome news!!! Will try to be patient…
May 5th, 2009 09:37

May 5th, 2009 10:51
AH! *reaches out and touches picture on screen* SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR AWAY! That’s pretty evil Scott-la, putting that right in front of us and making us wait! DIABOLICAL I TELL YOU! Lmao.
May 5th, 2009 10:53
Ah man, WANT!
May 5th, 2009 10:58
Sweet steampunk! So close, yet so far away…
May 5th, 2009 11:11
I can almost see some of the cover form the top books, but it’s so little that it’s such a tease picture. Really exciting though!
May 5th, 2009 11:24
AWSOMENESS! I cannot wait to get the book!
May 5th, 2009 11:26
“Sweet steampunk!” That’s a good one, Terrence.
I’ll have to remember that.
May 5th, 2009 11:27
zomg. too bad you couldn’t see my face when i saw that. it was a mixture of shock/happiness/disappointment. I WANT!
May 5th, 2009 11:31
I’m going to sound like a dork for asking, but what does the Z in “ZOMG” stand for?!?!?!?! It’s been bothering me since Nudge said it in MAX, and then it came up again here, so I thought I’d ask.
May 5th, 2009 11:44
Nudge said “ZOMG” in Max?? I don’t remember that…. and I just finished Max!!!! Hm…. *Sigh* I gotta do homework, so bye!!
May 5th, 2009 12:55
arg I want to see the cover!
May 5th, 2009 13:09
OMG! I havent been on in forever…the true test to see how long is: Anybody remember me?
Maybe i am a total dork but evertime i read the title Leviathan i think to myself: how the heck do you say this? I know, i dont even know how to pronounce it. Call me stupid, dumb, crazy, idiotic, but dont call me girl-who-cant-prononce-things ’cause thats just crossing the line.
Well, nighty-nighty to all those in whatever the heck your time zone is. And in the famous words of a lady whose name i cant think of “Let them eat cake!!”
Cake (n) – a tasty snack that, by some, if perferable in the night time or “Dark hour”.
May 5th, 2009 13:21
I remember ya, Bran-la! Welcome back! Long time no see…
May 5th, 2009 13:21
IDK if you’ve heard, but me and my friends are making our own Uglies fan movie!! I made a website for it: http://www.ugliesmovie.synthasite.com, check it out!
May 5th, 2009 13:29
Bran-la, first, I do remember you. Second, it’s pronounced luh-vie-uh-thin.
Yes, Alex-wa, Nudge said “ZOMG.” If you don’t remember when, just read the part…… SPOILERS AHEAD!!! DO NOT READ PAST THIS POINT IF YOU PLAN ON READING MAX!!!!!!!!!!!!!in the airlock
Spoilers over.
May 5th, 2009 14:30
ARGH.
TORTURE!!!
the sign makes it worse…they should just lock all the books up somewhere where we cannot see them!!
or just give all of us a copy
why can’t we see the cover?!
epic torture.
seriously.
May 5th, 2009 14:49
If you can create suspense with a paper sign and a stack of books, I think that says something right there about your writing skills (or at least about your fanbase)
Either way, its time to start putting money away. I can’t wait…
May 5th, 2009 14:53
haha
cruel and so tempting
would be mad hard to resist grabbing and running
^_^
May 5th, 2009 14:56
Bran-la, you’re alive! Hi! And Dahlia-wa, I’m pretty sure nobody knows what the Z stands for…lmao. I don’t. But it reminds me of Zombies! WOO!
May 5th, 2009 15:15
Want.
May 5th, 2009 15:23
You should give advanced readers copies to us lucky, devoted blog commenters
…pretty please?
May 5th, 2009 16:46
i completely agree w/ u sara
i know scott reads the blog
he needs to write another book…maybe from shay’s POV
or all different POVs…

May 5th, 2009 16:47

May 5th, 2009 23:46
I’M SO EXCITED!!! *hyperventilates* (randomly finds a brown paper bag…breathes in and out in it…) STUPID BAGS!!!!
D:
Seriously though.
Dying a slow and PAINFUL death.
*sniff sniff*
May 5th, 2009 23:53
♥ & hearts ; just get rid of the spaces in between everything
I third Sara’s (genius!) comment. ;P
CJ: Yes! I concur, a paper sign says a lot about a person.
Dahlia-wa: I’m still missing on the ZOMG! thing because I was reading the book wayyyyy too fast. (You know why *winks*)
Bran-la: I remember you! Welcome back!!
Terrence: Righteous name.
(finally stops staring at picture…sighs)
Okay, goodbye for real…maybe…
(Remember awhile back when we had a mini discussion about the ultimate source of evil? (it was like HSM Vanessa Anne hudgens and like asparagus?) Scott-la is getting closer…scarily closer)
Bye.
May 5th, 2009 23:55
Dessometrics: Somehow, my school filtering system let me onto your YouTube account…I will use my power for GOOD instead of EVIL!!! Nice background btw!
For-serious bye this time!
(Next hour is flour bomb time! Happy Cinco de Mayo!)

May 9th, 2009 08:11
