I sooo want one of those purses! And the re-shelving of Bushs memoir is hilarious. Also, thanks for the link :)
Arent they great?
I think it would be hilarious to have a day where readers can reshelve books the way they think they should be shelved. I wonder how much literary stuff would move into mainstream, and whether genre fiction would get all mixed up.
Of course, wed end up with a whole shelf devoted to Twilight. :S
It would be quite hilarious, you are right! Especially in a really big store. Though, I wouldnt want to be in charge of putting them back in order afterwards ;)
That Kindle story is so creative!!
Im curious to see if other people feel the same way I did about The Distant Hours, whether they agree that there werent many extraneous bits. I, for one, was impressed!
Id love an eBook proposal! Knowing my nerdy BF, though, hell probably design an iPad app instead
The Distant Hours sounds absolutely fabulous. I love mysteries, and Im quite partial to the odd historical. Together its hard to go wrong! One mystery that I found really interesting recently was Erin Harts Haunted Ground. It combined a number of different mystery threads all from different eras. Very well done for a debut novel!
