Start a fanclub for the author (or begin your new life as a stalker)
Beam with delight to say you were first on your block to own one
Good for a candlelit dinner, a walk in the park, a radiant glow
Okay reading between your favorite sitcoms (or on long nights spent in jail)
Make the author buy you breakfast when you're done
