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.
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!
If you ordered it by July 17th they are.

Yeah, I ordered it in February.
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.
Some more amusing HP fanfic: The Nekkid Quidditch Match. Aims, I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it.
Thank you, PC! I've wondered where that fic has gone for ages! It's hysterical!
Dana, just had a thought: did you just go to your "open and recently shipped orders" page? Or did you click on the order?
Because when I went to the page -- it didn't suggest that it had been shipped at all but when I clicked on the order I got the tracking information.
