I mentioned Crazy Aunt Purl on my site before; in fact, just about a year ago under the series Monetizing the Internet (yes, I’m aware that the series contains only one post).

Since 2005, her blog’s feed has been in my reader and I have continued to occasionally read her various whimsical post — I have at times even contemplated stalking asking her to have an In-n-Out burger with me!

So when I read on my feedreader that she has a book out, I was not at all surprised. On the contrary, I though to myself: finally I can read about an online stranger’s cats, knitting, and self-rebuttal at alcoholism in the comfort of my own bathroom!

Kudos to Laurie’s “Crazy Aunt Purls Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair.” It can be found for $10.85 on Amazon, and it is currently ranked at an impressive #70 in the top seller list. Seeing as how she has more than enough buyers, I shall wait for my free copy in the mail from my bestest-friend-fellow-blogger — or till the local library has them in stock.

Cap: Hi! I would like to put a hold on “Crazy Aunt Purls Drunk, Divorced, and Covered in Cat Hair: The True Life Misadventures of a 30-Something Who Learned to Knit After Her Split”

Librarian: I’m sorry we don’t seem to have that book on order, who is the author?

Cap: Uh, Crazy Aunt Purl? This lady on the interweb?
