Booking Through Thursday (5)


Do you carry books with you when you’re out and about in the world?

And, do you ever try to hide the covers?

I almost always have at least one book on me when I'm out and about. I don't tend to hide the covers though. Once a guy walked the length of a train carriage to try to read the back of my copy of Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton, so I do occasionally pick strange titles just to see what people will do...like What do you say to a Naked Elf? by Cheryl Sterling (which is a great read!). And it's impossible to forget all the commuters attempting to hide their Harry Potters with a paper :)

However, there are covers out there that I would be embarrased to be seen reading, like this for example. I have the first book in the series, and I'm now putting off reading it because I really don't like this cover. It's just too much and I do not want to have to explain what I'm reading on the bus, especially if there are people with kids.

  2. Some of thos covers are pretty strange. I can see that that one would shock. People can be so small-minded.

    @Vicki - my Mum just raised an eyebrow, but my Dad almost fainted over What do you Say to a Naked Elf? I love seeing people's reactions :)
