no Christopher Pike for me

Remember a few posts back when I said the most promising book on my wishlist was See You Later by Christopher Pike?

Yes, my most promising book was a teenage novel that I read when I was twelve, but anyway, I put it on hold at the library. Yesterday, the librarian tells me that they have to cancel my hold as they don’t know whether this Christopher Pike novel has go to.

Insert sad face.

In any case, I can buy a copy for a penny plus seven dollars shipping on amazon if I really wanted to (I don’t, partly because amazon and partly because I don’t know whether this book is really worth seven and a penny plus the anxiety I get having things shipped from across the border [how long it takes, possibility of unexpected duty and handling fees, etc.]). But instead, I will just say to whoever misplaced (I’m going to think positive and assume this book was misplaced rather than stolen, which it very well might have been given the number of times I’ve gotten books out of the library only to come home and realize they weren’t scanned out properly) Christopher Pike’s See You Later, please find it and bring it back! Thirty-somethingers longing for their tween years are counting on you!
