I got mine at the B&N in downtown Evanston. The purchase was uneventful.
Am now sitting across the street from the B&N, waiting for my pizza. I suppose I could read a book to pass the time....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Uh-oh. Crazy lady at 8 o'clock. She's going on and on about "nasty filth" and whatnot. And she glared at me.
I'm pretty sure she didn't see Allyson's book, so that's probably not the subject of her ranting....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Seems there will be a $250 copay for my admission Monday. I pointed out the nice lady that I hadn't been admitted Monday. No, this coming Monday, she means.
That's so not how I want to hear about it! I have rules. If no one tells me what they're going to do, I'm not going in.
Problem is, I want to go in on a weekend. Now, should I need ER attention during the week they can admit me then, but if I make through a whole week at work--well, that's like a good thing for a new employee with no sick leave.

Now, if you start giggling and jumping up and down and screeching "that's my book! that's my book!" you'd be verging toward something a little more sociall unacceptable... but still not pathetic.
This strikes me as a completely reasonable reaction.
I ordered it on Amazon early, but I may drive to B&N tomorrow and at least rearrange the book displays.

Wow. I just read the opening essay, and it's pure Allyson. She cuts with a sharp knife, and she cuts herself just as much as she cuts everything else.
And it kinda made me sniffle. Teensy bit.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

This just needed to be repeated. Maybe over and over and over.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Wow. I just read the opening essay, and it's pure Allyson. She cuts with a sharp knife, and she cuts herself just as much as she cuts everything else.Exactly this. I got to glance at a copy and now must head to Powell's tomorrow for my very own.

So what did I do the past 2 hours while shoveling fajita chicken chowder, strawberry shortcake into my face and smoking too much, hrm?
Only fair you should be teary. Between revisiting ita's and Nilly's stories in your words (and, um, the others, but those particularly required kleenex,) it's all your fault my face will be a puffy mess tomorrow. Oh and the Catalina one too, but that's just me being self-centered.
Somewhere in the Pikesville store are copies on a table, I am assured. However, since they are crazed monkeys and I had to be home to shoot the cat, I couldn't hit every table. Luckily there was one misfiled (um, in the Rs) in the humor section. Oh & when you come here, if you want to hit places in addition to Atomic, they showed interest at that B&N and my ex-coworker's store way up the road.
I'm composing my pimping and outing email to friends now.

I know what my weekend plans are: go get the book!
Right now I am lying on the couch filled with ennui and panic.
