I have paperbacks!
Sorry about the flash. I was excited and took pictures while the books were still in the shipping box (hence the crumpled white packing paper on the left), and I certainly wasn’t going to take time to adjust the camera settings.
The question is, do I keep them all under my pillow (or maybe on a special ”ME” bookshelf, lol) or give them away?

Congrats! Nothing better than a box full of books with your name on them.
I say give a few away.

I say give the majority of them away and have a *me* shelf and see how large that collection will get!

AWESOME for you! But, give ‘em away!

Maybe we can buy a few more and you can have a book signing at our local Borders or B&N?

Hmm, give ‘em away it is…well, a *few* of them.
Hub, the bookstores can order their own copies! I don’t need to buy my own.

I know this smarty. My reply was more about putting a face to the book; meet the Author deal!

They look booty-full! I have the ebook, but now my fingers are itching for the pb. Maybe I’ll actually read it in pb.
Okay, maybe I’ll print out the ebook and finally read it. No, maybe I’ll order the pb just to make you happy that I’ve ordered two copies. Maybe I’ll buy a Kindle so I can read the ebook. Maybe you’ll buy me a drink in Nashville. But maybe you’re not going to Nashville. So maybe I’m typing just to take up space. But congrats!

Oh, they’re definitely booty full. I mean, full of booty. I mean…never mind.
I’m going to read it in print for sure!
If you’d print the ebook, you might as well wait for paperback since it comes out in a week. Assuming you think I’m worth the money (and you KNOW I am!).

Congratulations, Avery! Enjoy the thrill of holding your book in your hands.

Thanks, Keli! I certainly will.
