New New Release Date?

[readsintrees.livejournal.com]

Just got word that Amazon now shows the RotT release date as October 6....not August 25th anymore. Mac's Backs (MWTs local bookstore) also now says October 6th, though the audiobook version still have the original (2nd original) release date in August. 

Can anyone else confirm what the ACTUAL release date is now?

I read that email the other day and was going to post about this, but you beat me to it!

I checked Harper Collin's and MWT's social feeds and didn't see any mention of it. However, I still think this update is accurate, since I believe Amazon gets that information directly from the publisher. Also, the Harper Collins website has the date listed as 10/06/20.

I was just thinking the other day we should start hearing about an arc and other promotional buzz in the next couple months or so. For the book to be coming out in August, she would need to be submitting it pretty soon. (The arcs for TaT, which came out in May, were released in January.) My guess is... Either MWT needed a little more time to make finishing touches before Harper Collins printed an arc, or it was delayed so the publisher has more time to promote the release or have the audiobook recorded. (Isn't that closer to the award season for books, too?)

Regardless, a two month delay isn't much. It will still be the shortest wait between books. :) Good luck writing in the home stretch, Megan!

PS: I do like that the final book is going to be released the same month The Thief was! It must be fate!
