I have achieved Vampire People book. Found it at the BU B&N. It was upstairs in the humor section, and not in the "New Releases" or "New Authors" section much to my annoyance (and there were only two copies when I grabbed mine).
However...when I met a couple I know for dinner, I showed the wife the book, who found it interesting and noted, "Oh yeah, I think I saw it on a table in there when I went in for a coffee at the Starbucks." Which is on the first floor. So either I missed it, or it HAD SOLD OUT FROM THE TABLE!!!
Read the first few chapters (after skipping ahead to read the ita and Nilly chapters) and I love it. The Nilly chapter made me all teary again.
In conclusion, paperdol rocks and is a kickass writer.
So what happens if "Vampire People" becomes a cultural catchphrase?
ETA - per an EW review, if it's going to be in the print version, it's not in the new issue (which was in my mailbox when I got home). Maybe it will be closer to wide release date.
If no one tells me what they're going to do, I'm not going in.
So the doc still hasn't drawn up a plan of action for you?
I'm still buzzing about the book, but won't get to read it until after the kids are in bed.
OK, I do not email an old highschool friend who I've googled after getting a bounced email these days after 4 years, right? Especially if I'd had the tiniest, sminiest, weensiest crush way back when, which I'd deny with a fist and a snort. RIGHT?
You're gonna need an alibi, aren't you?
clearly, Cass is capable of playing twins, should the need arise?
Oh dear. I just don't know what to do with myself.
I finished the book. I am letting DH have it now,but very reluctantly. I want to pet it and hug and call it George. I wasn't really sure who I wanted to read it, but I really want my folks ( esp my mom) to read it. not so much to explain things,they know about y'all - but to share it with them. Kind of a people I love, please meet the people I love. I read it cover to cover. I even read it while we were at the table at the restaurant while we were eating - I never do that. ( Matt took a picture) . I cried. esp reading about Nilly. ( Can we have her back?) I laughed. I have a few people I want to send it to in the library world - we've been talking about web marketing - so looking at the internet blogs for the book is a great illustration. and the essay on MYSpace is really useful information for anyone that has to deal with it , but doesn't know it. In other words, I know people that would be interested in even though they aren't into internet boards or fandom.
In true Buffista form, I've been skipping and skimming Vampire People. Partly because the car was inside of a dog dark, and sustained attention is hard when you're sneaking in paragraphs between lamp posts.
Also, I had a pizza on my lap.
Random Acts of PayPal is making me cry. I'm midway through the email thread, and the whole rush of that night, seeing it all happen, it's all flooding back.
Bless you, Ms. AB.
I took pictures.
Amusingly to me, it was filed next to Bored of the Rings.
