Barnes and Noble, BABY!

Today Husband and I took a field trip to Barnes and Noble. While I was wandering around, guess what I found??!! MY BOOK ON THE SHELF AT AN ACTUAL BOOKSTORE. I can't even tell you the feeling I had in my stomach - like I was going to throw up but in a good way.

When I did my book signing, they told me that they were going to return all the unsold books to the publisher. Yet, there it was, as big as life, sitting on the shelf just four books over from Bill and Hillary's books. I wanted to squeal, squeal, squeal. I admit, I loitered in front of the book for who-knows-how-long, resisting the urge to drag complete strangers over to it and pester them until they bought it.

I also MIGHT have rearranged my book's location a LITTLE BIT...I took one copy of it and put it on one of those tables they have set up in the middle of the aisles - the place where everyone looks when they walk by. I debated the psycho-ness/arrogance in doing it for quite a while but in the end, I figured it was worth it. That was, of course, until I realized that there was already a pile of my books on the table...I guess great minds thing alike.
