On March 4th the paperback version of my book comes out. It’s cheaper than the hardback and it has an extra chapter – which seems sort of unfair to those of you who bought the hardback – but on the plus side, you can buy the paperback, read the extra chapter (and the book club questions) and then give it to your fucked-up friend who probably needs it, or just leave it on the plane for the next unsuspecting passenger.
EVERYONE WINS.
The book comes out in a few weeks and you can order it now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BooksAMillion, Target, IndieBound and more.
As I understand it, the new chapter is only in the American (checking on Canada now) paperback version so far but as a thank-you to everyone who has read the book or who plans on buying the paperback (THANK YOU!) I’m randomly giving away a bunch of Bloggess Geek-a-Week trading cards signed by me that you can use as bookmarks. Just leave a comment and I’ll contact you if you win.
Also, in case you missed it, I’m going back on tour. Last time I was on tour I got a brain in a jar and someone left a kitten on my table and we all had to be really quiet so that we wouldn’t wake it up (the kitten…not the brain). Also, I gave a reading to several people in the Costco parking lot. It was pretty glamorous. You should come. Seriously. Please. Don’t make me do this alone.

PS. Thank you. Seriously. Thank you to every single one of you who supported the book, told others about it, bought it for friends, asked for it at your library, shoplifted it, etc. Because of your support the book has been made available around the world and I’m still getting emails from people whose lives were changed when they realized they weren’t alone in thinking they were a strange misfit. None of this would have happened without you. Thank you.
UPDATED: 15 winners have been notified, but I’ll be bringing a big stack of these cards with me on tour to give out as long as they last. Please come see me?
