I'm at work!

And I'm not usually allowed to hack around the interwebs while I'm at work, but I'm going to make an exception today - because I'm alone.

I work in a bookstore. Yes, that's right, people; I have the Dream Job over all Dream Jobs. Well, obviously being a full-time author would be better, and this workplace does have its drawbacks, but I do get to hang around books all the time. Not to mention, I get awesome discounts. Normally, we're always at least two people at work at all times, but my colleague just stepped out for a bit.

The reason for this whole entry, actually, is to ask my lovely flist something. Imagine that you went into a bookstore, and there were these little white paper tags attached to the books with personal recommendations from the people who worked in the store. This is, of course, the case in our bookstore. Now, imagine that one of the recommendations ran as follows:

"The Painted Man by P.V. Brett - AWESOMECAKES!"

Then the next one went, "This book [Skulduggery Pleasant] is so awesome I just don't know what to do with myself!"

How would you react? I merely ask.

literature, work
