The Solstice begins on the 21st. I brought this up during last Sunday's chat, and most people there seemed to think the release date is just a coincidence. 

To be honest, when I first heard it was coming out then, the first thing I thought was that it had to be relevant. It's the Summer Solstice and it's a book called The Order of the Phoenix -- a fire-related topic. I don't know.  :)  Maybe I'm just reading too much into things as usual!  :)
