    I heard about the pop-up for "The Girl who loved Tom Gordon", and immediately rushed out to Barnes & Noble to find it. No luck. So I drove to Borders. No again. None of the used book stores around had one either. By this point, it is a quest. I MUST find this book.

    So I went to Amazon, and purchased a new copy from one of their approved sellers. Didn't pay shipping, because I found some other stuff I couldn't live without. So the purchase price for the book was $ 2.80, with a expected ship time of 14 days. So two weeks pass, nothing. I wait another week, still nothing. So I email the seller, and get no response. After 21 business days, I email Amazon, and tell them I am unable to reach the seller and have not received my books. No response.

    I was at the point of total depression, having wasted all two dollars and a couple of minutes of time, when what's this? An email from the seller- they had sold the book to someone else, but went out and bought another copy which they would then send to me. I was so flippin happy just to hear something I didn't even think of chewing them out.

    So 7 weeks after my initial order, I finally receive the book. And I am very impressed. It was definitely worth the wait. It is by far the best pop-up I have ever seen. Even my husband (who is literate, but grudgingly) thought it was awesome. So it is now on my top shelf, one of my little victories.

    The second set of DT comics came in the mail yesterday. woo-hoo! And I got the sketchbook for the upcoming The Stand comic for free! Can't beat free stuff. For anyone who hasn't checked the graphic novels out yet, I highly recommend them. The art is suburb.

    I just ordered Cycle of the Werewolf from www.abebooks.com about a half an hour ago. Hopefully it arrives in the next seven days or so. I still have to order Secret Windows at some point.
