Lawson crazy_in_lost at affairedevaniteSo you know there’s a problem when you go into a library sale and the following happen.

1. Have the romance along the back wall.

2. Have it labeled for sale:


10 for $1.00
“Bodice-Ripper”
Harlequin Style
Romance Only

evolkats3. Put Nora Roberts with General Fiction

4. Proceed to attempt to argue with Syb that a Blaze counts as not a Romance.

5. The conversation goes as follows:

Syb: OK so I divided these up. There’s $4.00 in Romance.

Volunteer that doesn’t know books: Oh well some of these aren’t Romance. This one, this one. . .

I didn't think of the bunny

Syb: Well I was going by what it says on the spine here.

Volunteer: Oh, yes I see. ~picks of Nora Roberts~ though these aren’t Romance. Every book has romance in it no matter what, you know.

Syb: But it says Romance. ~points to the world Romance under the Harlequin symbol~ Right here.

Volunteer: Oh, ok I guess we can go by that. Ok.

6. The dazed and possibly senile woman taking the money doesn’t seem to be able to take the money.

Yep, that happened today. No joke. And Syb is beating herself up too ’cause I didn’t convince her on the spot to buy some early J. D. Robb because she has to have a copy of every romance ever published. Whether she reads them or not is not the point, she has to own them. But that’s why she’s all goodness and light to me. 🙂
