go you! If it were the UK, the troll sticker bad idea would be replaced by the "scribbled naughty men's bits" idea.

Yeah, but you know that crazed pro-abstinence Sarah Brown would show up and totally kill the mood.
Oh. Yeah. I am glad the troll is gone (or almost gone).
Seriously though, that is AWESOME. You should be very proud of yourself. I hope you are!
Do you remember the book The Adventures of Ali Baba Bernstein, when Ali Baba invites all of the David Bernsteins in the phone book to his birthday party? Your Sarah Brown party would be just like that, except No Narcs Allowed.
This is so AWESOME. Congratulations!!!!
I just added the book to my wish list. I can't wait till it comes out.
Congrats SB!
By any chance do you know where I can buy a troll sticker to put on the cover of my copy when I get it?
I had a troll.
The troll cover will change online when a new image of the book cover has been updated at BowkerLINK, the ISBN site that all other websites (i.e. Amazon) pull information from. If a new cover has already been approved by your publisher, it probably won't take too long (a few weeks, maybe?) before the image is updated at BowkerLINK.
Well, I didn't want to say anything about the troll before, but THANK GOD.
Oh thank god about the troll. I was going to ask you about that recently but I didn't want to ruin your whole day if it wasn't resolved. And that's awesome the book's coming out so close to your birthday.
If I bought it and it had a troll on the cover, I would have drawn over it in sharpie.
As a card-carrying member of the Sarah Browns club, I have to say I think the soap opera star Sarah Brown would probably kill the mood more than the Salvation Army Sarah Brown.
Yay! So very proud of you, and so very pleased to be in the book! You know we'll be pimping it at the Salon of Shame. :)
Also: I'm going to be the voice of dissent here and say I don't think the troll's so bad. I mean, it doesn't sing to me or anything, but I get it. That said, I'm glad it's gone if it was bothering you. Nothing worse than having a book cover you can't stand to look at.
"magic Sarah Brown has some good weed"
you're hilarious.
and probably right.
so excited for you. cannot wait to have you autograph my copy.
The cover is incredible. You are incredible. Congratulations! This is just the beginning for you!
See, and I was really hoping it would have a smurf on the front. Just a giant, crazy smurf. All smurfed out with the smurf hat and the smurf... skin.
(Why a troll? They just PICKED that out of nowhere?? My god, that's horrifying.)
See, I can understand the troll, but it would be a little off-putting. But, a Rainbow Brite puffy sticker or a Garbage Pail Kid? That would've been awesome.
I was weird and my house smelled funny. But I was only mildly into troll dolls. Mildly.
And I am also glad it's gone from the cover of your book.
Congratulations! Way to fight that troll, it was an injustice!
From the moment I discovered 'Cringe' and your blog I have longed to attend. Sadly I live too far. I am super excited to be a part of it through this book! Thank you!
Congrats, Sarah!! I can't wait to buy it. I mean, I'll actually spend money instead of cheap out and take it out of the library!
Congrats on the book and defeating the troll!
i am also anti-troll. i'm glad we're all in agreement.
That's funny - I totally searched your name and tried to figure out what else might have been yours. I too, am glad the troll is gone - not what I had been imagining at all. Maybe because my old diaries have Doritos stickers on them. Sadly.
I am troll-ambivalent, but when I first read this I was picturing it with other graphics on the cover and thought, hmm, maybe not so bad or noticeable? But the troll all by itself as it was? That's just weird. (And also not at all Cringeworthy.)
Glad it's being changed, and looking forward to June.
I just placed my pre-order. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!
I really like the cover, S. Congratulations to you. It must feel great.
I'm looking forward to reading the author bio. :)
Congratulations! I'm a huge fan of Cringe nights and curse at myself every single time that I never kept journals growing up.
Tell me, will "Precious Moments" collector Sarah Brown be attending the party? Word on the street is she puts out (but cries afterward FYI).
Congratulations! The book looks amazing! (Minus the troll sticker, of course. Whew. Dodged a bullet, there.)
I'm going to order 5,795+ copies for our library system. Or as many as they let me. (So, uh, 3 or 4.)
Cheers.
Have you checked out some of the crazy stuff that 'Customers who Bought Items Like this also Bought?' Most of it is baby for babies. Is there something you're not telling us Sarah Brown?
Book party? Please let us know when/where!
It's truly awesome, troll or not.
aw i remember the days when we'd have sleepover parties on the phone and now you're on amazon. so grown up!
Dude, when I was 12, I had like 5 trolls which I considered a "collection," and my house smelled like garlic and an odd mix of Tide and too many kittens from a stray cat we took in we thought was a neutered male. Whatever, her name was Roscoe. Still, no love for the trolls? I'm not even cool enough for Cringe?! SWEET MOSES. I'll still buy it just to be cool. Isn't that beside the point? Dammit, I'll still buy it! Congrats.
Congratulations!
I didn't want you to come to my troll-themed birthday party anyway! More raisin-bread cake for me.
Ouch about the troll comment.
Mine lived in a little cigar box with a tiny bed and windows with tiny drapes. I also made him (her? it?) tiny pants and tiny socks. Not easy to do, but I was a budding seamstress.
I brought it to school with me every day in 4th grade.
And yeah so maybe the house stunk a bit....
So will this shit be readily avaiable anywhere at a fine bookstore near me?
Because I would want to pick that shit up quickly.
Congratulations!
