The final book, which will be out in July, is entitled Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Nerd that I am, I already pre-ordered mine on Amazon.com. So did about a zillion other people so the book is number one over there right now. Anyway, check it out if you are one of the many hapless addicts. And feel free to use the comments to speculate on which character is going to die this time....
P.S.: Thanks also to those of you who have already pre-ordered Storm World. Alas, so far we're not quite rivaling Harry Potter sales....but among ordinary mortals of the publishing world we're doing just fine.

Have you…
I pre-ordered at the local independent book store.... but I surely hope Rowling's gone off the cliched John Wayne track the last 2 books exhibited.
Tamora Pierce's series about young mages coming of age does a much better job of looking at collaborative and creative solutions to large problems.
I intend to pre-order, but I'm not going to do an all-nighter when it arrives. I like reading big books over several days, even a week or more.
My fear:
Some dork will give away key plot points before I finish.
I haven't pre-ordered any book from Amazon or any other place. Friends and family of mine have had nothing but bad experiences from doing so. One such ordered Robert Jordan's newest book, Knife of Dreams, and it arrived two weeks late.
Plus, even with all the presented "mania" of the release day, I've gotten the last two books day of, before 1pm. I foresee absolutely no trouble this year. And of course I'll read it in one sitting. Don't want to be spoiled by some jackass ;)
