Nonny: I was shopping in Westfield Stratford today. The book hasn’t even been out an entire week and you can get an autographed copy for half off!

Anna:  So… wait!  Let me get this straight…

The book that was the subject of a bidding war between publishing companies… the same book that SunnyMarch rushed to book the rights to a few months prior to it getting published and hitting the shelves… the same book that’s getting 3.59 our of 5 stars on GoodReads with such stellar reviews as (I’m paraphrasing cause I can’t be bothered to find the review in question) “I couldn’t finish it as a reader (so I’d give it 2 stars) and I couldn’t finish it as a writer (but I’d give it 4 stars for reasons I can’t explain), so on an average I’m gonna give it 3 stars because I can’t make up my mind, but I never intend to read it.  EVER” is already half off on the shelves?  For a copy that’s been signed by the author?  With a free bookmark included in each book?

OH. DEAR.  That can’t be good…

P.S. I AM CRY!!!
