Prepping for the big Summer Smut Sale 7/7 12-4 #cscbooksale (at Center For Sex And Culture)
I didn’t know there was going to be a summer sale! I will be there for sure. :)

My mother was cat sitting this weekend. When I returned home, I called to make sure things went well while I was away (Rothko is a real terror). She informed me she took a book from my shelf. She was looking for a thriller. I said ‘that is fine. What thriller did I have?’ She said ‘it is by someone named Dennis Cooper? You had so many of his books. Seemed like a dark thrill.’ I immediately told her not to read the book. Mortified by what she would read. I informed her the material would be a bit too “harsh, violent, and sexual” for her. Her response: ‘I’ve read the Fifty Shades of Grey series.’
((shhhh it’s okay if you secretly think these books are hot)) —> BECAUSE: you got them from the “Totally Not Erotic Literature” section.
Now- Give me another book we should shelve here. Just so it’s clear. You only think this book is Really Interesting.
** Oh boy, what’s up with me not knowing which side of the book the spine is on?
