Dotty | R. A. Lafferty

And one final post for #BooksIDidntBuyAtTheBookstore from my trip. This one had my favourite title (and blurb) of the bunch. 😆😆 Poor Dotty.

This one is for you, @Reviewsbylola and @vivastory ! 😆

Reviewsbylola Like . . . 😆🤔🤣 5y

Aimeesue Poor, poor Dotty! 😂😂😂 5y

Reviewsbylola That blurb is fucking amazing. 5y

saresmoore Bahahaha! What @Reviewsbylola said! 5y

Melissa_J Covers these days just aren‘t what they used to be 😂 5y

LeahBergen @Aimeesue We can all only hope that we splay so erotically in death. 😆😆 5y

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola Isn‘t it?? 😂 5y

LeahBergen @saresmoore Yep! 😂 5y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J Nope. Publishers need to up their title game, I think. 😆 5y

rubyslippersreads Because it‘s so much work to clean off your doorstep after someone dies on it. 😂 5y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen Personally, if I don't die right away, I'm definitely going to try to arrange myself like that. Who cares about leaving clues to identify my killer? I must be sexy in death! 5y

rabbitprincess Why does the detective have a mattress on his doorstep? 😂 Is it the middle of summer and he's sleeping on the porch? 5y

vivastory Finally, the complete AND unabridged version 😂😂These need to be postcards! 5y

GlassAsDiamonds @rabbitprincess exactly!! I mean, I know my doorstep game is weak but I don‘t have a mattress with a frilly valance out there for people to die on (or is that WHY my doorstep game is weak...??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔) 5y

Hooked_on_books Wow, where did you find this place? 1950? 5y

BooknerdsLife LOL Where did you find all these unabridged versions?? 😱🤣🤣🤣 5y

rubyslippersreads @vivastory @BooknerdsLife Because I would certainly hate to read the abridged version and miss one word of this classic. 🤣 5y

BiblioLitten 😆 5y

Black Wings Has My Angel | Elliott Chaze

The #nyrbbookclub August pick has some amazing covers in other editions. I‘m drawn to this one! It has @LeahBergen written all over it!

vivastory That's definitely @LeahBergen ! But, is it #BooksIDidntBuyAtTheBookstore or #Bookhaul 🤔😂 5y

LeahBergen 😆😆 It does! And yes, @vivastory ... there is always a very fine line between #BooksIDidntBuyAtTheBookstore and #BookHaul 😆😆 5y

LeahBergen @iread2much Right? 😆 5y

LeahBergen @saresmoore Oddly, I WAS thinking of you when I posted this. 😂😂😂 5y

LeahBergen @batsy I can‘t decide if he reads more “pervert” or “serial killer”. 🤔 5y

LeahBergen @readordierachel It was hard, actually. 😆😆 5y

LeahBergen @mrp27 Yep. 😆 5y

LeahBergen @Hooked_on_books I know! 😆 5y

The Scarlet Letter (Readable Classics) | Nathaniel Hawthorne, Wayne Josephson

Is this the version where Hester Prynne was impregnated by aliens? 😂 Looks like she and her daughter might have phoned home for the mothership. #AIsForAlien @LeahBergen gets credit for the great hashtag, #BooksIDidntBuyAtTheBookstore

gibblr I actually like this for some reason 😂 5y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen 😂😂😂 5y

rubyslippersreads @Reviewsbylola When it comes to bizarre covers, @LeahBergen is my inspiration. 😂 5y

The Affairs of Laura | George Savage

It‘s about time for another edition of #BooksIDidntBuyAtTheBookstore.

What do you find eye catching about this cover? The hair? The eyeshadow? The necklace? The fact that THOSE HANDS DON‘T MATCH? And .... discuss!

(Why am I always tickled to find the title in the Litsy database? 😆😆😆)

Stephaniereads1 😂 5y

Sue I don‘t know where to start... 5y

batsy I feel like Laura is supposed to be having fun but she's not. Even the hands look bored. 5y
