It’s my own fault for living in a place that is two exits past the middle of nowhere. Seriously, no sane person chooses to move from New York to Idaho. I should get myself checked out. The fact that I can’t get to one of your book signings is the insult to my self-inflicted injury. Thank goodness for your bookplate charity…without it my exile would be all the bleaker.

My head is just about ready to explode waiting for this book. Not only did I pre-order the digital version for my iPad (weeks ago) I have now pre-ordered the actual book book version just so I can hold it in my grubby little paws AND request a book plate AND hopefully make it to your NYC signing to have you sign it for real in person. (I am requesting the book plate as backup in case I can’t get out of work in time to make it to the signing–I would take the whole damn day off just to make sure but I just started a new job this summer and I still won’t be allowed to take vacation time yet.) So what I am saying is: SO FRIGGIN EXCITED FOR THIS BOOK. WANT TO READ NOW.
Also, why doesn’t Amazon make this like when they released the new Harry Potter books and promise to deliver it the day it comes out? In specially designed Furiously Happy boxes of course. Hey, Bezos, get on it, you’re missing the boat here!
Also also, do you personally know Christopher Moore? I have read every single thing he has written and I have his new book on pre-order too, but just the digital version not the book book. I don’t buy double books for just anyone, you know. Actually, I have never bought double books for anyone before, until you, Jenny Lawson. You just make me throw all caution and reason to the wind.

I’m a native Texan living in NC, Whenever something weird in Texas makes national news, my neighbors and coworkers look at me as if to say “Well? Explain please,” immediately followed by a 2nd, more troubling look “are we safe with her in the room with us?” My stock answer is: Everything is bigger in Texas, including the crazy. I couldn’t be more proud of a fellow Texan that happens to be a complete stranger to me (except maybe Willie Nelson.) You make the crazy look good in every possible way. You make it okay for the rest of us to bring our own crazy, blinking & squinty-eyed, out into the sunlight and to know we are not alone. I love Willie Nelson, but he has never done anything like that for me. I am genuinely happy for you. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
