when it arrived. The ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) for Beautiful Creatures. My husband, Alex, brought the package into the bathroom and I stuck my head out of the shower while he and my kids opened it.

Not our book on the computer, or our book printed out on copy paper from Staples, or even the first pass pages from Little, Brown. But an actual book,with an unbelievable looking cover and our names on the front (and the spine).
