A little over a year and a half ago I read a book that will forever go down in the history of my favorite books. It's a classic. Pure genius, I say!!! Said book is Wallbanger. If you haven't read it, stop reading this post and go one-click it! That's an order! I love this book, I love Simon, I love Alice, I love it ALL!!!
It's very rare that I buy paperback copies of books because I am a Kindle whore. BUT! I finished Wallbanger and had to have this book so I ran off to Barnes & Noble...here's where my super genius sneaks out. I don't mind spending hours at a bookstore but I had been there a long time and I kept coming up empty. What's a girl to do? I'll ask someone! That's what I'll do! Why didn't I think of that an hour ago?
So I meander up to the kiosk, wait my turn, only to be greeted by a very polite grandfatherly gentleman in a Mr. Rodgers sweater. Oh boy. As sweet as he can be he says, "Can I help you find something, dear?" *gulp* Oh God. It's sink or swim time. Do I want this book bad enough to tell someone's grandpa that I want a book titled Wallbanger?
It should be noted that when I first read Wallbanger, it wasn't available in stores yet and I didn't realize that as I was searching the shelves at my local Barnes & Noble...I didn't realize it until my face turned 50 shades of red as I asked this grandfatherly gentleman where I could find Wallbanger. Yep, I asked him. I even had to repeat the title. Twice. Not sure if it was his old age that made him hard of hearing or my embarrassment that made me ask like a timid toddler or the fact that he was completely appalled by the title. I had to say it twice and spell it once. Kill me now. So you see kids, THAT is how much I love Wallbanger.
I walked away from Barnes and Noble that day empty handed. The nice man explained that it was a print to order book...I didn't stick around to get all the nitty gritty on what that meant exactly so I ran home and ordered it from the safety of my kitchen. And then! THEN I tweeted Alice asking for more Simon and she responded by telling me that there wasn't a sequel planned for Wallbanger at the moment. Kill me now. Again. But now!!!! Now do you see why I am having difficulty typing due to my own excitement!?!??! We are getting more Simon!!!!
