Okay, well not really in person because it's a book. But you can't say in-book. I don't know why. . anyway, the books arrived at our store on Tuesday and look how lovely they are! Though I do have a bit of a dilemma. . .
Do I put it with Christopher's books?
(yes yes, that is MY bookshelf at home. I know you are all frothing and foaming with excitement. I'll wait a minute while you go mop that up.)
Or, do I put it with Wayne's books?
It looks nice either place and at the store it'll get set with Wayne's books because he's the first author listed. I think that's pretty much store policy wherever you shop. Co-authored books go by the first author listed in the inventory and on the shelf. So part of me wants to go and set COTSK with Christopher's books at home because I'll see it next to Wayne's books at work. Hmmmm
Oh, and yes, I am reading it. And yes, it is wonderful. Amazing. I could say more. . .but men with long sharp metal pointy things will be seeing me on Saturday and . . .well if I give things away .. .I might come home with more holes in me than I left having. . .after all, that's what long sharp metal pointy things are designed to do. So. ..you tell me where I should shelve the book, and I'll go back to my reading of it.

I agree with you about putting it next to Mr. Hopper's books, as Mr. Batson will have it next to his in probably each store that carries them.
Uh-huh. I'm leaning that way *leans* myself. :-D
Sured:)
Ung! Thou stabs be in the heart! You are READING it??? Oh, this be too much for me to bear!
Yup. I read it Storyteller *cough* and now I'm READING it again. *pats book* It's an awesome read.
Not that I ever doubted it would be.
It's the difference between sniffing at a good meal as you pass a restaurant and sitting down and eating one in the restaurant.
