I worked at my part-time job at Barnes & Noble tonight, and guess what I now have in my hands? (Well, actually, sitting on my CPU tower, but you know what I mean.) A certain book called Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby?!!!
The book comes out, and the real-world people go "whoa! my co-worker wrote a book! that's really neat!"
This was me, but it was me burbling to my co-workers about how I know the author, and it's her first book, and it's being reviewed in Entertainment Weekly!! I didn't have time today, but I'm grabbing one of the four copies we have faced out on the shelf and putting it up as my employee pick on Saturday.
Yay, BOOK!!
Woo!! First sighting out in the wild!
You know, I was in Borders today, but I didn't think to look yet. Oh, but is it only B&N that's getting it early/now? I disremember.
When I had a few bad asthma years, I could walk into ER, wheezing like hell and they would just say "Hi, Suzi - go ahead back to the blue chair (for vitals)". Not good. I mean, good service - but still - not good.
Amazon says no book until August. Sad now.
I didn't pre-order because I want the immediate satisfaction of walking into a book store and walking out with it in my hands.
Professional opinions--broken or just sprained?
I'm so happy that Noah's coming home soon and Allyson's book is coming out soon. Wheee! I better go order my copy.
ita, I'd recommend against a nervous breakdown. Too draining.
libkitty, I canceled my Amazon pre-order for that reason. I have a feeling that they underestimated interest and didn't pre-order enough themselves. Instead, the day it shows up at Borders, Ima buy it.
I'll try local. I didn't pre-order because I hate pre-ordering, since Amazon has screwed me on every pre-order I've tried. I planned to order it as soon as it becomes available, but it would be kind of fun to try at Hearthside.
