Daily "Squeeee!"

Sometimes, we are so excited about certain books that we end up preordering them months in advance before we even know what they are about (see, for example, The Fault in our Stars).


This time it was Chris Colfers first novel called The Land of Stories.


There has been so much talk about this in advance that I COULD.NOT.WAIT. to have this book. I kept checking Amazon over and over the last few days after it has been released waiting (im)patiently for it being finally shipped.  


And here it is!!!

mah face
Sadly, Jeannie's copy has still not been shipped so I will start reading and try not to spoil too much for her and you guys will get a thorough review once we both are finished.
