All of my books, save exactly three pregnancy books and a novel, are packed in boxes that, given the priority system Hubby and I worked out, will probably stay in wrapped confinement for a week or so.
So yesterday in the Super Stop n’Shop, after doing the Mother of All Target Runs, I passed by the paperback aisles and took my usually gander at what was new, hot, and popular enough to stock at the grocery store. I didn’t go to the book section of Target because that’s just asking for some heavy impatient sighing from Hubby. But the SSnS book aisle had the romance conveniently wrapped around the end so you passed it on your way to the checkout lines.
I glance over, and hello Suzanne Enoch? Writing contemporary? Well color me surprised. I think Enoch and I think “London/rake/scoundrel/cravat/valet/pelisse.” I surely do not think of contemporary cartoon covers about cat burglars and business tycoons.
So, in my first ever ‘I am going to have to review this for SBTB. Wonder if I can claim it on my taxes?’ purchase, I have procured said contemporary, written by a known-historical author, and I shall let you know how it goes.
However, this phrase from the Amazon synopsis does give me pause: Though some readers may be disappointed by the lack of a traditional happily-ever-after, others will cheerfully await Sam and Richard’s next adventure. First, a not HEA? Dang. That’s why I read romance, people. Come on now, don’t take my guaranteed HEA away from me. Second, continued adventures? What, is everyone JD Robb now? Writing series with heavy romantic elements? Dang, again.
Super Stop ‘N Shop? You’ve gotta be around here somewhere! Re: Taxes. According to H&R Block, I can claim every book I buy and even my Internet connection for the year on my taxes. And you know I do!
Is around here NJ or CT? My mother in law loves her SSnS, while we (Hubby and I) are embarking on a love affair with the SSnS chocolate chip cookies from the bakery.
I’m thinking that my taxes and my Amazon.com receipts need to meet and spend some time together!!
I’m in NJ--complaining about the weather. My hubby does all the shopping and won’t go near the bakery. I think I need to get tough with him. I LOVE a good chocolate chip cookie.
My Amazon,EC,LI,LSB,VP,WCP,EP,& CP receipts are quite intimate with my taxes. It’s pretty much indecent.
I’m in NJ, too, and we surely do have a lot to complain about.
Wonder if I can call Big Lots on my taxes. Hmmm.
