It is not something that preteens are ready for in their development, although I think children today need to be taught about sex in a responsible manner for their own protection, at least in the US. Also, because many people have the same feelings as you do when carrying a book out in public, I think that a book with a cover like A Dead Man's Debt will sell more copies.Debra Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256313302199653185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903822058109364910.post-69421779081385905802011-06-23T15:58:38.158-04:002011-06-23T15:58:38.158-04:00Thanks Teresa, you obviously have a more extensive...Thanks Teresa, you obviously have a more extensive history with HR than me!

I loved the paintings that were featured on the covers, usually in pastels with a woman in a beautiful empire gown and a handsome gentleman hovering about.<br />Smiles,<br />TeresaTeresa Thomas Bohannonhttp://www.ladysilk.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903822058109364910.post-14467274601041424682011-06-21T14:20:05.043-04:002011-06-21T14:20:05.043-04:00PS - Is that a library book on your shelf?

I am not sure if the naughty covers get me to buy them or not; but if I don't like a cover, I generally don't buy the book. If the cover doesn't appeal to me, I figure the book probably won't either. May not be a fair assumption, but that is where I am from. As far as others seeing me read them, I really don't care. I figure they will assume what they will and they who shake their heads, wish they had the nerve to read them.Romance Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408558719335778916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3903822058109364910.post-29253924848431738502011-06-21T07:22:31.762-04:002011-06-21T07:22:31.762-04:00Thank you for hosting me today, Eva!
