Smart Bitches Trashy Books | All of the romance, none of the bullshit.

I had some Chinese food recently, and as usual, my fortune wasn’t so much a fortune as a vague statement of possible fact. But I do have a fortune for you writers of the category:

Should your book be published in September from Silhouette, duplication may be in the cover.

Exhibit A: September 2006’s A Little Change of Plans by Jen Safrey:

Exhibit B: 

JebB dove into the user book store, and came up with a cover so excellent, she immediately sent it to me with the request that we caption this bad boy.

I dunno, really. There aren’t any decent puns that are at all obvious in the art.

As usual, vote for your fave, and I’ll use my paper and pencil to count up the votes and award $20 in gifty dollars to the winner. Ready set go!

From Karen D come some fine, fine specimens of old-skool Silhouette cover art. We give thanks to Karen, and to the used book store romance pile from which she rescued these cultural icons.

A HaBO a day keeps something away. Maybe eczema. But many a day? Make for a fun few hours. Enjoy and bask in the collective power of the Bitchery in knowing every romance ever published ever.

I come to you and your loyal readers to help me locate a lost treasure I read when I was younger.

I had a Silhoutte Desire novel that was from either the late 80s or early 90s. The book cover had a blonde guy with curly hair and a brunette or dark haired chick on the cover.  The whole story was about this guy named Adam at least I think that was his name.  He was a carpenter and was working on this girls grandmother’s house.  The Grandmother decided to play matchmaker between her granddaughter and this guy.  They fight the attraction but yet seem to somehow fall in and love and have incredible sex.

I hope you and your smart bitches can help me out.

In a failing economy, it becomes essential to any business to recycle and to seek alternative means to cut costs. Such as? Stock imagery! Hey, when you find a hot image with expansive man-titty, you work that for all it is worth. For example?

But wait, there’s more! It seems Silhouette has discovered that they can also use all the heads that were chopped off from all those headless cover illustrations, and invite those poor lost craniums to gallivant about their covers. How charitable! How fortunate, particularly for Bonnie Vanak!
