Extras Boingled

We’re here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, nascent space of Borders Books, spending the last 36 hours before Extras comes out!

While the countdown ticks away, feast your eyes on Cory Doctorow’s review on BoingBoing.net, the internet’s premier clearinghouse of the geek-tastic.

Cory always has cool points to make. Here’s his review of the first two books, of Specials, and of Peeps.

Oh yeah, and now BoingBoing has comments, a much needed feature.

See you Tuesday.

    I’m so excited, even though I won’t be able to read it until Wednesday. And I’m even more excited because now I have a shiny new bookcase to put all my books in! Woot!
    I took some snazzy pictures of it, too. It’s on the link in my name…but I don’ t know if it works.

  4. ha i like how worn-out the spines of all the uglies books are. i keep needing to fix my bookcase because i have way too many books.

  5. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH omg I can’t wait and it stinks because I go TO school on Tuesdays and fridays. On Monday Wednsday and Thursday I do my school at home/homeschool. so Tomaro when Extras comes out I’m going to have to wait all day through school until 4:30 when I get home to get the book. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  10. i love how serafina said she was taking a break to go “watch extras.”

    i’m assuming she meant “heroes” but still, it’s comical all the same.

    EXTRAS IS COMING OUT IN EXACTLY ONE HOUR AND 24 MINUTES!!!

    soooo excited, even though there’s no signings near me so i probably won’t get a book for awhile.

  11. and with the whole “watch extras” thing, doesn’t that show how fully and utterly obsessed we all are?

    i’m a happy obsess-ee though…
