Four things:
One: As you may remember, Leviathan is coming out on Tuesday, a mere three days from now. (Update: After a quick recount, turns out it’s actually four days from now: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, TUESDAY!)
But there is another object going on sale that very same day, October 6. I call it “the brick,” because it looks like this:
The brick contains all four books in the Uglies series—Uglies, Pretties, Specials, and Extras! And they all live together in a lovely box that references all four covers. I love me a slipcase.
Two: Simon & Schuster Canada sent me this amusing steampunk video on how to install a “Leviathan Wobbler,” a bookworm dazzler of astonishing complexity.
I think you need to watch it.
Click here to visit Simon’s Urban Fantasy Blog, home of the Wobbler.
Three: I have moved my tour dates away from the blog post of a few days ago, and put them in a more sensible place: my Appearances page. From now on, all updates and changes will be made there.
To go to the Appearances page, click the “Appearances/News” button up in the menu at any time. Or just click here.
Four:
So. Close. Can. Smell. It.
October 3rd, 2009 02:05
ooh, first!
I am so buying the brick, even though I already have all four Uglies books.
Leviathan comes out soon! That wobbler vid made me laugh
October 3rd, 2009 02:06
Wow!
Suddenly (like my iPod) my boxed UGLIES trilogy set is obsolete!!
I bought them separate, thinking, “Oh, if only, if only, all four could be together in one box of ugly-pretty-special-extra GOODNESS!”
THANK YOU GOD OF ALL GREAT NOVELS.
& only 3 days till Leviathan?! AAAH CANT WAAAAIT!!!!!
Love the little steam-punky ticker. I have the wallpaper for Leviathan, and I wish there was a way I could download that on my desktop.
XD
Thanks for @Replying me on Twitter!
Can’t wait!
-Allie…… -wa.

October 3rd, 2009 03:10
AHHH Leviathan comes out really really soon….YAY!!!
October 3rd, 2009 03:27
I’ve held off buying Specials&extras cause I heard of the brick… so can’t wait! &then I’ll be able to pass on Uglies and Pretties so someone else can be introduced to Tally’s world.
Also can’t wait for Leviathan!!! so psyched!
&my journalism advisor gave me a go-ahead to review Leviathan for our school paper… we just released an online edition, so I am going to have it published on the online edition so the bubbly-major trailer can compliment the article!
October 3rd, 2009 03:31
i want that cube! but i already have all 4 books. i can not wait for leviathan 3 days til it comes out yay! bye
October 3rd, 2009 04:21
The video was funny, and I noticed that they had the books with the old covers…and that a copy of Leviathan was in the background of the brick picture…..want……
And I agree, they should make a Midnighters brick, I already own the Uglies book but got Midnighters from the library…I want to buy them though!
October 3rd, 2009 04:55

October 3rd, 2009 07:15
Hey, Scott, I’m going to be giving away a copy of Leviathan for my blogoversary (Oct. 21-Nov. 21), and was wondering if you’d be interested in doing an interview for my blog?
October 3rd, 2009 08:14
Scott-la… what I said above, is that okay if I do that – embed the Leviathan trailer within my article on my school’s online edition of the school paper?
I just thought of copyright and that stuff, so wanted to check if it was all right.
And I know you’re mad-busy, but if I could get any quotes from you that’d be bubbly-major – or if you wouldn’t mind me quoting you from your blog… may I?
October 3rd, 2009 09:47
AHHH!! The BRICK?! I just completed my collection of uglies a few days ago by getting a special at borders (teen fiction buy 2 get 1 free)
Blast, if only I had the patience…
Oh well now at least I have so many things… is there a limit to how much you’ll sign? I might have to hire a U-haul…
October 3rd, 2009 09:50
SERIOUSLY! I just noticed LEVIATHAN..THE LEVIATHAN in the background of the uglies brick.

October 3rd, 2009 10:12

October 4th, 2009 08:41
thank you much-major!!!
October 4th, 2009 21:54
I ordered leviathan online and i checked what it was doing and its shipping so im excited!
October 5th, 2009 00:13
When I check online for the uglies brick; all the books cone in paper back. Are there any in hardcover?
October 5th, 2009 02:15
I think that since Uglies and Pretties don’t come in hardcover on their own, I guess they just took those and the paperback Specials and Extras. Which sucks. Scott-sama, make them print some hardcover versions of Uglies and Pretties.
October 5th, 2009 17:37
Ahhhh!! so close! (but i can’t smell it wish i could)
October 5th, 2009 21:24

October 6th, 2009 03:17
Good idea Talie!! I try to get my friend to read the books but she wont! Ahhhhh!! Some ppl just don’t understand the joy of reading.
October 6th, 2009 03:20
7 more hours (for me)!! Hey Talie where do you live? I wanna go there you get the book sooner cuz you said you got 6 hours till the book comes out! No fair!
October 6th, 2009 08:01

October 18th, 2009 01:37
I want the brick. It looks cool. I have Uglies but I think that I could use another copy. I’ve read it so many times the pages are wrinkled my brother got a hold of it. GRRRR!
October 18th, 2009 01:39
You should come to Springfield TN. Or at least Nashville. That would be so awesome! I am your biggest fan!!!
October 18th, 2009 01:46
Scott-sama, I’m trying to read all of your books. Which book was your favorite to write?
October 18th, 2009 01:54
Is Leviathan the first book in that series?
October 18th, 2009 02:21
omg!! I LOVE YOUR UGLY SERIES BOOKS THEY R AWESOME.HI HEEHEE!!
October 18th, 2009 02:24
I THINK THE BRICK LOOKS SSOO COOL I ONLY BORROWED THE BOOKS SO I DON’T HAVE ANY.
October 18th, 2009 02:26
October 18th, 2009 02:27
[:) HI UMM WHY DO U LIKE WRITTING BOOKS?
October 18th, 2009 05:21
Scott-la: My friends and I have done some major good for Uglies! So my friend Kathryn, who I absolutely ADORE, had me read the series last year and I LOVED IT!!!!! So, from then, I recommended it to a few of my friends, who also loved it and then they recommended it to their friends and etc…So now almost half of our 8th grade class (not including the younger people & older people who’ve also read and loved it) has read the series and loved it! You are obviously a very good writer, Scott-la!
Debating on when I can buy Leviathan.
October 18th, 2009 22:37
Ping to Kaitlynn-wa,
Ya Leviathan is the first book in the series.
October 19th, 2009 04:39
Thanks so much DAVID&ZANELUVER! My friend Bailey (Bailey-wa) and I are having a debate on which one is our favorite: Zane or David. Which one do you like the most? I’m saving my heart for Zane-la all the way. I cried out loud when he died!!!
November 6th, 2009 06:47
Wow! You have no idea how much I love the “Uglies” series. Right now, I’m on “Specials”. I love your dramatic cliffhanger endings. They always keep me guessing! I also love the unasked questions about beauty and friendship and society that I’m left thinking about after I finish one of your books. I also wanted to say that the one thing I don’t like about about your books is that you make the Rusties look so bad. I mean I know there’s that one part in Uglies when David tells Tally that some of us had the right idea, but I still think that we (the Rusties) are portrayed as uneco-conscious idiots. I love nature! I recycle mostly everything I can, I turn off the lights when no one is in a room, and also turn the water off in the sink when I brush my teeth. Please reply to my comment!
November 6th, 2009 06:49
I wanted to also say that I love the cover art!!
