Three sci-fi/fantasy books, one Stephen King, one historical fiction, one book on philosophy…
And two Bertrice Smalls.
For those of you not in the know, Bertrice Small writes “sensual romance”. Ahem. She writes sex…but better than the average romance writer.
Still, I was embarrased. :o I expected a :dubious: at the very least from the girl, but she was lethargic and didn’t care.
It’s not the romance novels that get the :dubious: it’s certian combinations of books.
The best I ever got was at Barnes and Noble. I was getting a couple of romances, a collection of bondage erotica, a book about royal mistresses and a couple of true crime/forensics books. The twenty something behind the counter looked like he couldn’t decided whether he should ask me out or call the cops.
Now I try to get the oddest assortment possible, just for the reactions.
And I look like such a normal girl. . . 
You have to RENT library books?
Seriously?
I’m sure she meant “borrow.”
My public library has some rental books. In general it’s the most popular current bestsellers.
You can either get in line to read the newest King/Grisham/Cornwell/whoever book, hoping you’ll get a copy in your hands in less than 8 weeks, or you can rent one of the rental copies for $2 - 1 week loan, no renewals.
It’s a way for the library to make a few extra dollars while providing a couple of extra copies for the fast readers.
:smack: I thought about going into the “most bizarre brain fart” thread to list all the times today, but I figured there’d just be too many.
My mind has been occupied. 'Tis the reason I went to the library, to *borrow * some books, so I could immerse myself this evening.
Holy crap, I’m over 1,000 posts??? I totally missed the milestone! Not only that, my profile says I’m up to 8.98 posts per day…eek… :eek:
I actually thought “rent” seemed like a perfectly logical thing to do to library books, if a slightly odd choice of words.
I probably need some sleep.
