- \- If you have a Nook, [it's ALSO $9.99 on Ye Old Nooke here](https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-royal-we-heather-cocks/1120876934?ean=9781455557127&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
- \- If you do your e-book-reading on Kobo, [you can get it for $9.99 here](https://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/the-royal-we?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

We also [have a Facebook page for the book, where you will be able to get easy updates on signings and events and whatnots, if that's your jam](https://www.facebook.com/theroyalwebook?). We were extremely excited to find out this week that [we were #3 on the *Washington Post*'s hard cover bestseller list](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2015/04/16/4ceda9c0-e3a0-11e4-ae0f-f8c46aa8c3a4%5Fstory.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), and we have you guys to thank for that -- quite literally; I am sure all of you awesome people who came out and bought the book at Kramerbooks made that happen, and we are so so so thrilled. (FYI, we signed a lot of stock at Kramerbooks, and I'm sure they still have autographed copies left, if you want one. [They ship everywhere and are super nice, so call them if you want one, and it can be yours](https://www.kramers.com/index.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)! Otherwise, the book should be everywhere now. Again, thank you all SO SO SO much for your wonderful support.)

\-- Barnes and Noble [has a juicy list of fictionalized biographies you might like](https://www.barnesandnoble.com/blog/6-fictionalized-biographies-you-should-already-be-reading/?adbid=589129737882087424&adbpl=tw&adbpr=32166535&adbsc=social43993936&short%5Fcode=2tgu7&sourceid=Y000000013&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (I really liked *The Paris Wife*, and the Zelda one is on my TBR list.)

\-- Speaking of B&N, [one of our Fug Nationals is currently putting together a literary festival and book fair in Columbia, Missouri, and anyone shopping at any Barnes and Noble on April 25 and/or on BN.com, and who uses the code 11572427 can support it.](https://www.unboundbookfestival.com/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) So if you're going to B&N or BN.com to, say, procure a book about an American girl who falls in love with a prince just, say, hypothetically), drop that code and help bring books to people.

\-- This is [an awesome piece on the dude who creates the fictional ad pitches on](https://www.vulture.com/2015/04/mad-men-advertising-don-draper-creative-genius.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) *Mad Men.* It's SO interesting. (Vulture)

\-- And you are going to love [this piece on Jezebel about the woman who does the costumes for *Outlander*.](https://themuse.jezebel.com/outlanders-ron-moore-terry-dresbach-on-tartans-redco-1698084923/+morninggloria?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- THIS IS AWESOME:[ How to Beat the Cast of *Dynasty* in the Drinking Game “Never Have I Ever."](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/how-to-beat-the-cast-of-dynasty-in-the-drinking-game-never-have-i-ever?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (McSweeney's)

\-- [Let's read about hot hot hot Michiel Huisman](https://www.buzzfeed.com/jarettwieselman/michiel-huisman-age-of-adaline-interview?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io#.vezDYnrZM). (Buzzfeed)

\-- This is [an interesting piece about a nobleman who spent much of his life dressing as (and, seemingly, living as) a women in the 18th century](https://georgianera.wordpress.com/2015/04/23/looks-can-be-deceiving-the-cross-dressing-nobleman-in-georgian-england/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Spying is involved. I feel like this has to be only part of the story. (All Things Georgian)

\-- I have to quote Pajiba on this one:[ This 'Spider-Man' Short List Is One Way to Kill Enthusiasm for Another 'Spider-Man' Movie](https://www.pajiba.com/marvel%5Fmovies/this-spiderman-short-list-is-one-way-to-kill-enthusiasm-for-another-spiderman-movie.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

"You care nothing for your family but are extraordinarily fond of, and protective toward, the jam jars in the basement."-- Vulture takes on the all important questions of [what to watch when you just want TV on in the background](https://www.vulture.com/2015/04/stay-tuned-background-shows.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (My go-to is *Law and Order)*\-- Speaking of TV, [Daniel Fienberg at HitFix did yeoman's work running down fifty TV shows on the bubble, and what he thinks may be their fate.](https://www.hitfix.com/the-fien-print/from-constantine-to-mindy-to-izombie-tv-shows-on-the-bubble-2015?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- Over at The AV Club:[ How to navigate the weepy world of Lifetime movies](https://www.avclub.com/article/how-navigate-weepy-world-lifetime-movies-218180?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

\-- Per Lainey, [there's a rumor that Bradley Cooper is dating Irina Shayk. ](https://www.laineygossip.com/Page-Six-reports-that-Bradley-Cooper-and-Irina-Shayk-spotted-on-a-date-in-New-York/38300?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)I don't buy this one, for some reason.

\-- *The Atlantic* [examines how fashion co-opted Coachella.](https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2015/04/how-the-fashion-industry-co-opted-coachella/390843/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

\-- This headline reads like Mad Libs: [Mario Batali doesn’t believe Gwyneth Paltrow will ever get married again](https://www.celebitchy.com/423669/mario%5Fbatali%5Fdoesnt%5Fbelieve%5Fgwyneth%5Fpaltrow%5Fwill%5Fever%5Fget%5Fmarried%5Fagain/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). WELL THEN JUST CLOSE THE BOOK. (Celebitchy)

\-- *Vanity Fair* explains[ why you can't stop singing the theme song to ](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/03/unbreakable-kimmy-schmidt-theme-song?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)[*Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt*](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/03/unbreakable-kimmy-schmidt-theme-song?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)*.* Because it's A MIRACLE!
