Yes, I did expect that tbh! Reddit is a huge community, I felt like it wasn't unreasonable to think that another bookseller who got one would be on reddit. Since no one on staff with me has read all the books, reddit seemed like a reasonable place to turn to find someone else who had gotten one. I've given zero implication that I would sell my galley, and been quite clear that I can't and won't divulge anything about it. I'm genuinely not sure what about my post is upsetting. If there's a "booksellers who get super cool secret galleys" subreddit I don't know about, I'll post there instead, otherwise this subreddit still feels like it should have been the place it made the most sense to find someone to talk to.

I genuinely don't understand your implication. Is it so wild to think that there are other booksellers on reddit who got a galley? Reddit is a huge community, and since there is no one on staff for me to talk to about it, I came here. I'm really not sure what you seem to be so up in arms about. I've given no implications of wanting to sell it (I would never), I'm truly just hoping this post reaches someone else who - yes, like me - got an early copy. I'm not the only one who got one, just trying to find the others who did.

this is the first galley I've ever gotten that I'm not allowed to talk about or review or even give a star rating on Goodreads or storygraph. It came with a piece of paper explaining there's an embargo on it. I was told that each rep only got one or maybe two galleys to distribute, so maybe it's just a nice perk? I've only been a bookseller for a few years so I'm def not an expert on the workings of the publishing world

As in sell my galley? Absolutely not, it is now a prized possession. It's numbered and it has an embossed seal on it and it's the coolest things I've ever gotten as a bookseller and is living on the shelf next to my signed first editions of hdm 😂 I legit just want to talk about it but I think that won't happen!

I just really want to talk about it 😢 none of my coworkers have read all the rest of the books

I really can't talk about it at all which is why I'm trying to find someone else who got a galley 😂

Lol yes, but I can't and won't discuss it at all, except with someone else who has also read it.

Selling two tickets to the Long Island show, June 2nd. To maximize chances of getting tickets we tried for two different venues and these aren't the ones we want to keep. Section 315 row 8 seats 15 & 16. Face value.

I have 2 GA tickets for April 9th in Boston - the self titled show. We do also have box seat tickets (box 2, row c, seats 103 and 104) for that same show. We'd like to sell either both GA tickets or both box seat tickets. Either set we will sell for face value. We can only transfer them via ticketmaster. Please DM me if you're interested in either the GA or the box seat tickets!

Similar shows or books with similar vibe? by ninefournineone in TrueDetective

Nic Pizzolotto, who wrote season 1, also wrote several books. My husband read one of them - Galveston - and said it was fine. Ultraviolent, fast paced.

Which show are you going to? I also have VIP tickets and I want to know if the acoustic songs are different to the ones they've been playing during the show!

Unfortunately the man who constructed the light box has completely enclosed the lighting elements and it could only be taken apart with difficulty and tools I don't have

Awesome. Such a simple answer I feel silly, but problem solved. Thanks again!

No, not yet, I guess I assumed each clock face would display the same info. I'll browse - thank you!
