...How To Kill Your Husband is such a great title! <br /><br />I can't think of any books I've read with embarrassing titles although I'm sure there have been a few.Bellehttp://msbookish.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-82059993425755725952009-04-30T07:54:00.000+09:302009-04-30T07:54:00.000+09:30I am currently reading a non-fiction book about th...I am currently reading a non-fiction book about the search for the virus that caused the 1918 influenza pandemic - the book has the word FLU in big letters on the cover and I was reading it at my favourite coffee shop this morning and 2 people started talking to me about the current flu panic. I could have done with a discreet cover because I hate talking to people in the mornings.Bernadettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07641617609801125707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-59559201572823768952009-04-30T05:27:00.000+09:302009-04-30T05:27:00.000+09:30Dorte, the Kathy Lette book took a bit of explaini...Dorte, the Kathy Lette book took a bit of explaining as you can imagine. In fact it was a bit too chick-lit and tongue in cheek for me. Hubby was not sure about his safety for some time :-)Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-41829419503689606912009-04-30T05:25:00.000+09:302009-04-30T05:25:00.000+09:30Karen, I can go with the covers keeping the book i...Karen, I can go with the covers keeping the book in good condition, and I have seen people with cloth covers on their books now I think about it.<br />I think covers are really less lurid these days, but some titles are a bit strikingKerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581470363339796352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8273911883856580200.post-34375468607776790382009-04-30T03:40:00.000+09:302009-04-30T03:40:00.000+09:30There may be books I wouldn´t be caught reading in...There may be books I wouldn´t be caught reading in a train compartment, mostly because of ugly covers, but in my own home?

I do use covers where possible, I have a selection of various sizes though they are clear plastic rather than pretty. Helps keep the books nice and more donate-able I find :).Karen (Euro Crime)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03678348280806062648noreply@blogger.com
