Look, I'm Updating!

I'm not going to talk about college and school and everything. You guys hear about that enough.

ANYWAYS!!!!

So as many of you know, ArchEnemy, the final book in Frank Beddor's Looking Glass Wars Trilogy came out yestarday. Some of you are probably also aware that I determined to go get it today. Now, I've been trying to project how much money I'll be spending at the bookstore these coming months, because another amazing author (and my current fav) Hilari Bell will be releasing two books soon. Crown of Earth will come out in November, and Player's Ruse will be out in Janurary (I just looked this up, I thought it would be earlier).

So anyway, I go into Barnes and Nobel with 1 book in mind, ArchEnemy. My mom was lingering in the bargain books section between the outer doors and the main store. As I was waiting for her to finish, I was casually glancing at the new fiction table right in front of the door.

I see a book cover that looks oddly familiar style wise.
I read the title.
The cogs in brain begin to spin rapidly as they dredge up something I read in the beginning of the year.
I very nearly shout in exclamation (luckily there was no one else in the closed off section).
I run inside, verify my finding, and return to my mom with the news.

Sitting on the table, smack dab in front of my eyes is EOIN COLFER's SEQUEL to the HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY, And Another Thing....

I was very, very, VERY tempted.

My mother pointed out I could always buy it online, since I had only brought 1 $25 giftcard with me, enough for one book. I waffled for several minutes before she finally said let's just go look for the other one.

So we went upstairs and looked all around the main table, all over the New Books section, and finally headed to Beddor's corner of the shelf.
Nothing.

I was perfectly willing to use this as an excuse to get And Another Thing..., but my mom insisted we ask someone for help. Which I hate doing. We eventually found someone, who told us there was one left and, after not finding it on the shelf, headed to the back room to find it. He returned with a shiny new copy of ArchEnemy, the last one they had, and about $6 cheaper than And Then Some.

If he hadn't gone through all that trouble, I probably wouldn't have gotten it.



So here I am, sitting reading my shiny new ArchEnemy, knowing there's about 3 people waiting to read it after me.

I gave up The Guide for you guys. You should feel loved.


Nearly regretting her choice,
