Shadows coming in 2013

The best, the greatest vampire novel ever written

Someone who works at ABC sent me this link:

Okay, so why aren’t I wealthy and famous?*
(If I knew where Nancy Pearl lived I’d send her flowers.)
                                                                                                 
And this came in from some unknown reader a few days ago:
                                                                                                                                                
Yesterday I walked into my local independent bookshop . . . and saw, just inside the front door, a big display for Twilight. It was one of those large colored (black in this case) cardboard stands with multiple shelves for the books being advertised by various other bits of colored cardboard sticking out of it. The books in this stand did not match the display. Someone had taken out the Twilight books on the top two shelves and replaced them with SUNSHINE. Twilight was relegated to the bottom shelf, mostly obscured by its own flashy bits of cardboard. The cover of SUNSHINE twinkled (a little darkly) in the sunlight coming through the open doors to greet customers walking in.
                                                                                                                                    
And I’m a cow for posting it here.  But Stephenie Meyer can laugh all the way to the bank.  Mooooo.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
* * *
                                                                                                                                                      
*As I keep saying, I’d settle for getting ALL of Third House carpeted.  And the kitchen cabinets refitted.  And the bookshelves built.
