The Shark rips open a large package with delight.
A Shark Shriek is heard throughout the office. Minion whiskers wriggle. Something delightful? Or just another chum, discarded?
Minions carefully eye the wrapping. Aha! A clue! "From: MouseBootsEditor"
"Back to work!" comes the Shark Bark, and minions scatter.
Minion #1 however, is careful to hide under the desk, hidden by piles of manuscripts, whisky bottles, distraught queriers and three sobbing editors from the HouseWhichShallNotBeNamed.

Minions 1, 2, and 3 sob uncontrollably because they did not get a copy of GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS.
The Shark swims off, cackling with glee that she's the first to know what a deliciously marvelous book this is, and that she'll be able to get the minions to work even longer hours with the promise of such a great reward--after she finishes reading it of course.
Sadly, the Shark failed to realize THE GIRL OF FIRE AND THORNS is now available for sale...which explains why Minions 1, 2, and 3 are on their way to the bookstore, not their proper place in the reef.
