I won a mystery box of 4 novels. Imagine my joy and excitement. Four novels! I was over the moon.
And then I opened the mystery box. Whoever the insane bastard is who put it together must never be allowed around books. Or people.
The mystery box contained four novels, all set during WWII and all featuring on their covers a woman standing with her back to the reader. Four female backsides during WWII. Is there a weirdo who would want to read four books in a row that are identical on subject and cover art?
I haven’t had a similar book-related letdown in years. I hate WWII novels ever since we were veritably persecuted with WWII content in the USSR. Plus, I’ve read five trillion novels about the Spanish Civil War. I’m so over war novels.
