Booklovers

That is the name on the store where I get my usual reading matter, they have thousands of books on the shelves from new hardcovers to used paperbacks. I buy used paperbacks at roughly 1/4 the cost of the sicker price (half off because they are used and then half off of that because I have traded in tons of old books there.)

It is getting harder and harder to find something to read there though. I normally read mystery/action/thriller type books and lately the jacket blurbs are all starting to sound alike — “Katherine Tomillia, a beautiful and brilliant lawyer with a troubled past is being stalked by a perverted serial killer and her only hope of bringing him to justice is to be re-teamed with her ex-husband, a gritty streetwise former police officer turned private eye, Drake Wingo. Follow Drake and Katherine into the high stakes world of high finance, global politics and quilt making…”

I did manage to find 4 possibles, including Mesmerized. “After a heart transplant saves brilliant Washington attorney Beth Convey, she inexplicably aquires new tastes and abilities, and finds herself having strange dreams — or are they memories?”

Started down, went up, still up.

  1. I read the backs of the pulp murder-mystery novels. I feel for the plight of the authors, because writing something original and interesting must be so difficult. I could do it though:

    “Questionably-skilled internet developer EyePulp find himself in a web of intrigue when a mysterious commenter on his blog offers him ‘cH33P V1agr4 LOL!!!’. But the mystery only deepens when a client complains of a broken image link on their site. Will EyePulp ever achieve standards compliance?”

    I also have a GREAT photo for the book jacket.
