Do you mind if I quote a couple of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources back to your website? My blog site is in the very same niche as yours and my users would certainly benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this alright with you. Many thanks!

Appreciating the hard work you put into your website and in depth information you provide. It’s nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same outdated rehashed information. Excellent read! I’ve bookmarked your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.

Right now it seems like WordPress is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

I HAD been reading books like that as a child… fun thing about public libraries, they don’t do a good job of supervising visiting children…
although, now that I think about it most were school libraries… why did my highschool have the kama sutra? (it literally did carry the kama sutra)

Yeah, this is definitely Wegmans (I used to work at one). Though with Wegmans, the sign for the product is ABOVE it, but most people look below (like in this picture). It’s a funny “out of context” thing, but the romance novels shouldn’t be near the kid’s books anyway.

I was just thinking that… the prob is that they churn out so many of these (Mills & Boon proudly claim about one a week, or one a day, something insane between those limits), that whoever thinks up new and exciting scenes to show on the covers must have run fresh out of ideas – or just got bored – many, many years ago and just started painting the same stock moderately-attractive, average weight and height WASP couple (or WASP woman, dusky mid-east/oriental man) in vaguely different poses, hair colour/styles, clothes and backgrounds instead. When you’ve got that many to pile through, may as well make the composition easy on yourself.

Does make it difficult to tell them apart though doesn’t it. I suppose they’re the modern equivalent of the old pulp novel. Buy it cheap, read it, throw it.

Anpu does not approve the use of such books for children. You don’t give these books to children. You give them Playboys. Duh.

Why do all romance novels have the exact same man and woman in nearly the same pose. Is there only one romance novel artist worldwide? If so he must be a millionare and have the easiest job ever.

Nobel’s wife was cheating on him with a mathemetician, allegedly, and that’s why there’s no Nobel Prize in math. So not a eunuch, but a cuckold.
And he invented dynamite. Keep in mind I learned all this at Quizzo.
