No, you'll get it tomorrow.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just doublechecked mine (because all the cool kids are doing it), and it's just hanging out in Cincinnati, waiting.
WANT.
I also found a used copy of a book I had when I was a kid, which I had forgotten the title of. It's a collection of stories about princesses, all of whom are not stereotypical waiting-for-a-prince passive princesses. Not a Sleeping Beauty among them. Instead, the stories are about princesses who overcome evil curses, outsmart a dragon who's about to attack the castle, and make peace with a mean giant.
Because I never rely on Occam's razor, when I couldn't remember the title of this book about princesses, I tried googling all kinds of related keywords.
Anyway, I eventually found it. The title? The Princess Book. Of course.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Amazon says mine will be here "July 23-27." Surely they're just fucking with me, right?

Steph, there's a more grown-up book along the same lines called Don't Bet on the Prince, made up of feminist fairy tales written within the past 40 years or so.
ETA to fix the damn title!

Well, last time around Amazon didn't update my account until after I received my book. My feeling is that they get so busy that they don't get to it - so it could very well be sitting in your town waiting to be delivered tomorrow but not taunting you because you don't know.
