REAL BOOK ALERT:
I thought I’d try something different today, and share my favorite REAL book titles that I’ve found. I’m judging strictly on the covers here. Please don’t be offended if these are you favorites.
Bread on Arrival and Red Beans and Vice are culinary murder mysteries with recipes included! The title tells you exactly what it is!
Infant Massage: as my friend Michelle Legro said, “Coming out of the womb, is like, soooo stressful.”
The Police Cloud: I made fun of it here, but it’s nice to remind your kids that they’re constantly being watched.
The City and The City: Apparently a great sci-fi, but the title makes it sound like “Sex and the City” minus the sex parts: “Why is it that every time you meet a guy in New York…you meet him?”
Come, Thief: The first time I saw this I thought the comma was missing. It disturbed me. Now it’s in your brain too!
